Jaylen Brown on Joel Embiid: “We didn’t really have the answers for him. We tried a bunch of different things. He’s a big body. He also was flopping around. He got some extra calls … they rewarded him for that, but that’s the league we’re in.”
Jaylen Brown a few days ago: “I think they might be better without Embiid”
The same guy that threw himself on the ground to make it look like Embiid pushed him after they had already called a foul on him…
That was so funny because the broadcast team thought Embiid must have thrown him then they saw the replay.
Broadcast team? You mean the Celtics fans on the mics? Reggie Miller was way too biased that whole game.
How Embiid got a technical foul for stopping what might have been an and 1 layup by brown I will never know
I thought I was losing my mind watching that play out. Like I was being gaslit listening to the commentary all agree it was a flagrant
Reggie was insufferable.
Dude tryna tell us Embiid should stop playing when Brown didnt? Fuck all the way off
Embiid fouled Brown “well after the whistle” which also means taking 1 step before jumping to block the shot after already having his momentum going towards that before the whistle.
You know who is the clear better team when they are up against that kind of reffing, plus a Boston crowd in general.
I was screaming “Someone cut Reggie’s mic like wtf is happening right now?”
Ridiculous “flagrant” call. Plays dead for the defender but not the ball handler? Nonsense
Reggie was like yeah he pushed him way after the whistle blew. Bro it was .3 seconds after the whistle blew. Continuation is a thing and everybody gets pushed in the air when they drive, this has been the most physical playoff bball ive seen…
Literally when would you ever just let your opponent walk to the basket there lol? Especially in a close game 7!
Reggie was twisted tonight. Some of the worst commentating I’ve heard in a minute.
There was a point during the Celtics 4th Quarter push that he was basically wish casting on ways they could take the lead on three straight possessions.
Reggie and Doris’s commentary have always been ass, so they’re both having an prolific playoff season going against each other for worst commentary in history
reggie won that race tonight.
it was braindead take after braindead take, all the way from tip off to even after the sixers won
“a DISGUSTING act” - reggie miller
It would have been insane to give continuity on that play which means it was 100% possible that they would, so continuing to defend was the right choice.
I didn’t have a dog in this fight but that was insane. They were comically biased.
Reggie is always an anti-sixers biased dickhead.
that was crazy flopping
What was crazy was Miller going “embiid has to be careful, he already has a (BULLSHIT FUCKING BULLSHIT) technical.”
Damn Reggie, can you be any less biased?
He even pushed off Maxey into Embiid’s knee, but that’s the league we’re in
It’s time to add “but that’s the league we’re in” to every single comment and credit Jaylen Brown every time
JB is truly the king of projection.
Says the Sixers are better off without Embiid when he’s the poster child of his team being better without him.
Says Embiid is a flopper when he pushes off on every drive.
Glad to see this pompous asshole lose, and Embiid get the W simultaneously.
No bro he downloaded the chess.com app and wears glasses occasionally, he’s a smart guy
He went to Cal! That means he has to be smart, there’s no other way he could have possibly been admitted!
Lest we forget that Aaron Rodgers went to Cal and thinks AIDS was created in a lab in the 80s.
These athletes are mostly extreme idiots and the ones that are smart are the guys that make good decisions quietly.
You know this kills him extra too because he absolutely was salty that Tatum came back and suddenly they went back to the “best team in the East” after JB kept commenting throughout the season how well he was leading them to the #2 seed without Tatum. So here’s the perfect opportunity for JB to show he IS in fact a true #1 player, and instead he blew it, and now is whining about fouls. What a baby back bitch lol
The one thing that Brown has on the sixers is that Maxey has a tough time guarding Brown.
Luckily, we finally some forwards who can play good defense and keep brown from truly taking over. I was so down on the PG contract, but he did work. And ofc, Oubre is a dawg. Mad respect to him playing way above his paycheck.
Why didn’t he just call the Sixers bad defenders and then beat them without Tatum? Is he stupid?
Him complaining about not getting calls while being 2nd in fouls drawn is hilarious
JB also flopped a bunch this game. He’s just mad he didn’t get the calls
JB also putting the flopping comment in there when he was foul baiting the whole game (that he claims he doesn’t do) is also ironic
He was doing gymnastics on every single jumper he took down the stretch. Was actually kind of impressive that he still made them when he was flailing at defenders mid shot the whole time
Litterally going out of his way to shoot into defenders chests. The Celtics only came back because of massive homer calls.
Yea, if there was ever a time to not say this it’s after this game.
Boston’s comeback was carried so hard by the refs. It was actually disgusting how many bs calls Boston got in the 2nd half.
Waiting patiently for someone to post the highlight reel of him doing this all game while the audio of this clip is in the background
I’m still replaying the block call on Paul George when Jaylen Brown basically ran a straight line through him starting ten feet out. That felt like one of the dumber calls I’ve seen in some time.
“You thought you were SGA. They don’t love you like that!”
watching him trip and fall behind embid was peak comedy while the broadcast tried to initially blame embid for pushing him down
https://www.nba.com/stats/events?GameEventID=553&GameID=0042500117&Season=2025-26&flag=1&title=J.+Brown+foul+personal
“he threw brown down” lmao
“EMBIID’S GOTTA WATCH IT NOW” -reggie
Anybody with eyes saw what he was doing on those foul line jumpers. It felt like every play that wasn’t at the rim or a 3 for him.
JB foul baits and slaps his arm damn near every time he takes a shot. Like he said though, “thats the league we’re in.” (BTW, its an association).
And abusing the push off
FR complaining about SGA flopping then this guy literally taking forward jumpshots just to feel contact lol
Fuck this clown and his elbows, fuck the mods, fuck the Celtics.
FTC!
He probably thought they were better without Tatum too
“I know we’re the best team in cancun”
Jaylen Brown also had a bunch of uncalled pushoffs. If anything, refs were favoring the Celtics more.
They certainly were. It wouldn’t be close at the end if they weren’t given homer calls.
He was going for mind games because the game on court wasn’t working.
Also, it’s wild these 7 games are ~15% of the games he’s played in the regular season. He only played 38 games this season.
Jaylen Brown is too dumb for his own good.
no way jaylen brown is saying this… no way
One of the most babied players in the league. negative on off with an amazing front office and coach surrounding him to succeed. 60m a year direct deposit into his bank account. He’s allowed by the refs to push off every single possession, even when he sends the other dude flying or elbows him directly in the balls.
He’s so fucking insufferable.
One of the first things I learned playing team sports as a kid was take responsibility, don’t blame others and certainly not the refs.
These are grown adults making 60 million/year.
He’s gotta be the most shameless person in the league. He talks waaaay to much about flopping and foul baiting for someone who flops and foul baits all the fucking time
He’s insufferable
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/t707PzAyX0 So predictable, I at least expected him to make it to his twitch stream before this shit though lmao
This type of dodging accountability shit works with OKC and SGA because of how hated they are, but fans hate Boston more than Philly/Embiid rn so it’s not gonna work
It honestly was the same deal with Finch. Finch bitched about SGA after getting calls all night, he became a saint. Only after Finch bitched about other teams then people realize he was just bitching about everyone.
Eh I don’t think they realized that, they just didn’t like that he was criticizing someone they liked. If the wolves make the conference finals somehow, believe those same folks will be hooting and hollering when he goes in on us again
As a professional Boston hater, I’ve been saying this about Brown and Tatum for years. But now I personally root for Tatum (how can you not), so fuck Jaylen Brown.
Dude he was pushing off so much and the refs weren’t calling it
Stop lying jaylen we know, you don’t fool anyone
He’s an idiot 🤷
Oh man that is fucking rich from Captain Push Off. Still cannot believe the PG “blocking foul” or the Maxey plowing wasn’t called lol
The reffing all over the court was so blatantly in Boston’s favor in the fourth quarter.
Brown whinging here after the refs were the only thing keeping them in the game just makes him look like a sore loser
Before this game the Celtics were 17-2 when reffed by that crew and it sure showed in the 4th…
That’s an insane record
Ya the 4th quarter it was obvious the whistle was in their favor. Couldn’t even hide it.
Luckily the Celtics kept bricking threes so their rigging failed.
That was insanely egregious
The PG one, I somewhat get. George didn’t have his feet set, despite the football move from Brown. Thats 50⁄50 in this league. The Maxey one however, should be called almost every time
The fall he had when he got called for the block against Embiid was funny as fuck. Embiid just gives him the side eye.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/xpEtv6kHJw
One of the commentators was chastising Embiid for that too lmao
Yeah he said Joel threw Brown to the ground without a fucking replay first and then replay showed Brown flopped and Joel never touched him lol.
Reggie thought it was a flagrant
Derek white into Oubre too. Those three were like back to back to back.
Thank God JT doesn’t have the pseudointellectual bullshit vibe that JB wants to project.
Ngl the spotlight being on Brown for this year has been great for Tatum’s PR. I think the people are realizing they hated him for no reason.
Always been ridiculous to me. Sure JT does some corny stuff but he always plays the right way and has the self awareness when talking to not say stupid shit like Brown does. Still believe Tatum deserved the finals mvp over this clown.
The winning team’s media votes and they absolutely had to give it to either Tatum or Brown for the narrative, but Tatum was frankly mid that series.
In a vacuum I thought they should have given it to Jrue Holiday. He had like 60% true shooting while guarding both Kyrie and Luka that series.
Tatum is the only player to lead his team in points rebounds and assist and not win it.
Tatum was frankly mid that series.
They both were, that’s the whole point. They were playing team basketball though and that team basketball was winning, so probably most fair would be just give that stupid award to entire team. But since it had to go to one, it created debate that will never go away. Maybe Jrue would be good compromise.
Oh cmon lmao. More hyperbole bs from this sub. Brown is a clown, but he definitely deserved that finals mvp. Was clearly the better player on offence whilst also guarding Luka the whole series.
I mean Tatum literally said that Celtics vs Lakers is best when it’s competitive and that he’s honored to be the part of the history of this rivalry. I think people hate him because he is almost too leveled and diplomatic.
Meanwhile folks watching NBA love controversies and guys like JB but it goes that way, that one day they find what he said amusing and clap while the other day will tear him apart.
Personally I much more admire grounded people that avoid stirring the pot, so give me even more guys like JT. Every team should have one.
Led the team in pts / reb /ast that whole run and in the finals. Robbery.
JT just corny and a little cringe, but who among us isn’t lol
Ill admit I prefer Tatum to brown, and I shit on Tatum for being corny. Give me enough time and ill be shitting on him again for it all over.
No ones keeping track
Playing the right way isn’t even a real thing. We are sports fans hating a player for any gimmick is pretty regular. The nba lacks the horrible people of other leagues like the NFL so most of the hate is over being annoying
I really don’t like how stale and corporate Tatum is. He’s in goddamn banking commercials advertising savings accounts.
But I’d much prefer that being the face of the Celtics after a year of Brown’s condescending bullshit after every game.
JT is a total cornball but at least it’s kind of an innocent “boy i sure am excited to put my report card on the fridge” type cornball. JB on the other hand is always just the worst possible vibe.
“I just hope everybody had fun!”
But he’s obviously a genius just because he takes summer classes at MIT and is a guest speaker at HBS
Never seen a fanbase that hates its own top player like Celtics fans do. Must be nice. Bulls fans would never treat their star like that.
The Celtics on the bus go wah wah wah
Wah wah wah
Wah wah wahh
the celtics on the bus go wah wah wah all the way to cancunnnn
I think you mean Galveston
Scranton PA
I love that Knicks-Sixers-Lakers flairs came together to finish this up.
Yeah hating the Celtics is really at the center of our venn diagram
We exclusively hydrate on Boston tears
My drunk ass enjoyed singing this
No fucking way 😂 salty ass bastard
It was because we shot 20 percent from 3 and didn’t move the ball
And JB kept missing wide open guys cutting to the hoop. If he was half the passer Tatum is we would’ve won. So it goes.
These are grown adults making 60 million/year. Like shut the fuck up and stop whining
Hes a sore loser
Jaylen Brown complaining about refs I can’t man 😭😭😭😭
Such an unlikeable player. He says this after he did his signature push off on Maxey too which ended up injuring Embiid.
If there was ever a time to not say this it’s after this game. Boston’s comeback was carried so hard by the refs.
Man he is salty lmao
dude pushes off like he’s a machamp and complains about reffing
The bulldozing of Paul George that should’ve been called a charge by a sideline official, mystifyingly called a fucking foul on George by baseline ref, and then they get a technical because Embiid defended the rim? Because it was “after the whistle” as if continuation plays aren’t always obvious, and still need to be defended at the rim?
Absolutely insane sequence that handed four points to the Celtics
Don’t think he lacks self awareness he’s genuinely just dumb as rocks 😭
Mr pushoff into leaning jumper merchant
The lack of self awareness is incredible.
I swear, it’s always the guys who talk about ethical basketball that flop the most. 🙄
OKC fans have known this about Jaylen for a while lmao
The only reason Jaylen isn’t seen on the levels of SGA foul baiting is because he dribbles the ball off his foot half the time he tries to drive into the paint
Lmao. So fucking true.
HE got extra calls. LMFAO
This is some baby shit soft quote post loss where refs were trying to carry you over the line.
He definitely got favorable calls and And 1s and still complaining
JB’s entire offense is built off pushing off with his arm. Hes worse than SGA even!
one of the ugliest players I’ve had the misfortune to watch play the game of basketball
Coming from Brown is priceless
Bro is acting like their team is better.
This guys a loser
Soft as a baby shitting mashed potatoes, hope these bozos like Senor Frog’s
Sore loser, that arm extension led to embiid’s injury
“we tried a bunch of different things…”
Lmaoooo stay classy bro after you legit said Sixers are better without him lmaooo push off merchant
He personally got blasted guarding Embiid which makes it so much sweeter lol
Why does he need to whine after every single game. There was deadass a play where Embiid was posted up on JB and he just flopped on the ground for no reason. Like he’s no different than who he critiques
He’s worse than what he critiques, actually.
Game only got within 2 possessions cause refs ignored 2 charges, too
biggest loser all season.
foul baits just as much as anyone
flops just as much as anyone
cries just as much as anyone
pushes off just as much as anyone
claims himself to be the best 2 way player in the league claims he doesnt resort to cheap tactics one of my least favorite players of all time, on and off court
He’s got the least amount of self awareness I’ve seen in a player in a while. Dude’s delulu…
Says the guy who’s calling for foul every drive and gets away with offensive fouls all the freaking time
Imagine playing in that 4th quarter and then thinking that the sixers were the ones getting calls lmao. Brown is a clown
Jaylen brown complains about calls and flopping after a whole lotta losses. I like Brown but it starts to come across like he just doesn’t have the ability to critically reflect on losses and just gets really salty.
Starts to? Always been like this
[deleted]
As much as people talk about SGA now Tatum and Brown have been the pushoff bros for years before anyone even cared about the Thunder
This dude has 0 self awareness. I might dislike him more than Luka
I am honestly shocked he said this. Embiid didn’t foul bait this game or series at all. Acting like he’s good just because he’s a big body? Wow. Yeah it’s a lot easier to play Embiid teams when you have 1 of the 3 guys in the league that can actually guard him. Guy was lucky to have Horford for as long as he did.
Oh please.
LMAO. Bum
Tatum would never say some bullshit like this after trying to get a foul on every foul line jumper.
Pot meet kettle
brother you went 1v1 with him and got fried
This man a straight bitch.
Yea, it’s reminiscent of pushing off with the off arm every drive and not getting called for it.
Can we cut to the play where he pulled on Embiid’s jersey and then frisbee tossed himself 5 feet?
This dork gets away with shoving his defender on literally every single possession and cries about someone else getting calls. What a bitch.
This fucking guy lol
King of the off arm
Whining after a loss has to be one of the most shameful things ever
Jaylen Brown is all talk.
His wikipedia claims one of his interests is ‘Spanish,’ but all I hear is gibberish.
lol ok bro
Tatum is so much more likeable than Brown
Bus rider mentality.
He’s such a loser bro. Played horrible for 90% of the series after spending a year telling everyone he’s mvp, just to get outplayed by his one legged teammate and a dude who had his intestines on a table like 3 weeks ago.
biggest loser in the nba
Loser talk
paint your hair back on dog
Not jaylen brown talking lmao, he was kicking his legs into defenders to get calls and pushing off maxey
After blowing a 3-1 lead to a play-in team… Bro it’s time to be humble
Bro pushes off literally on almost every play, stfu
Get this marker head outta here
Honest question: Does Jaylen Brown watch himself play with all the complaining he does about other people flopping? That dude literally takes every shot looking for contact first.
Take your L bro, u the last person that should talk about it.
Even though every replay they showed was a legit foul. Brown is just a bum. boston c3-1tics
Crybaby
Lmao loser
Oh my god this guy does not shut the fuck up, even when he does the same shit. Total crybaby hypocrite
What is this guys problem
This dude ran his mouth all year and then blew a 3-1 lead, and still is trying to run his mouth. Actually embarrassing behavior.
actually u lost cuz u played hero ball down the stretch and took the stupidest shots of all time
He says without the slightest understanding of irony.
This is always Jaylen Brown in a loss
dude was throwing stiff arms all series the Boston tears are great lmfaoo
Captain lack of self awareness over here
He’s such a baby omg
People tried to tell me this guy was better than Mitchell
This fucking guy. He was probably ECSTATIC JT was out. Go forget another permit Brown.
You push off EVERY DRIVE
What a sore loser
Oh the guy who jumps, leans, and only shoots the ball on his way down is talking about foul baring?
I truly truly hate it when floppers call out other floppers. I mean the audacity of this dude.
Coming from mr flioppity flop himself that’s funny… Love salty takes after a tough loss
this dude hasn’t ever completed a drive without traveling or pushing off and is gonna blame the refs, peak comedy
this is the best day ever man
Jaylen Brown is an awesome player but I swear he comes across as salty in like 90% of the quotes I see from him lol
Eat shit pseudo-intellectual dork take them goofy ass glasses off the only thing you should worry about reading is a defense.
Go push off and brick a 3 about it clown. Fuck Boston.
My brother in Christ YOU were flopping around the whole series
Serious case of holier than thou. It’s cool when I do it but others do it more/better.
To be fair to him, I hate the flopping too. But you can’t complain if you’re doing it.
