Something about Orlando just brings out the fire in Jaylen Brown. Back in December last year, the Celtics walked out of Kia Center frustrated—not just with the loss, but with the whistles. Brown didn’t hold back then, calling out what he saw as one-sided officiating that let Orlando bully their way into a win. “They were allowed to use their hands,” he said. “They set the tone, and the team that sets the tone often gets the game kind of called in their favor.” Fast forward to Game 3 of the playoffs, and it’s déjà vu with higher stakes.
Same building. Same vibe. Same frustrations. Only this time, it’s not just about missed calls—it’s about missed control. After a hard foul from Cole Anthony, Jaylen Brown dislocated his left index finger, but in a recent update, he assured Celtics fans that he’ll be fine. Despite downplaying the injury, the timing couldn’t be worse as Boston heads into a high-stakes playoff battle.
JB, once again, commented on Orlando’s physicality, acknowledging the tension building in the series. He said, “I don’t know. There might be a fight breakout or something. It’s starting to feel like it’s not even basketball, and the refs aren’t controlling their environment. If we want to fight it, we can do that. We can fight to see who goes to the second round.” His comment definitely adds some extra drama to the series, showing the Celtics won’t back down from a challenge.
What happens next? We’re as curious as you.
