Listen, I gotta say, watching Jaylen Brown on Wednesday was like witnessing a hurricane had a baby with a basketball genius. I mean, 36 points, 10 boards, five assists, and a handful of those long bombs from beyond the arc? Magic didn’t stand a chance. No really, they didn’t.
So, here’s a wild stat — apparently, only one other dude has ever pulled off a game like that for the Celtics in the playoffs. And guess who? None other than Jaylen’s buddy, Jayson Tatum. Twice, actually. How about a friendship where you constantly outdo historical milestones? No pressure there.
Anyway, NBA Twitter blew up with the news because, well, it’s not every day you see someone joining such an exclusive club. The challenge was not just about filling some big shoes with Tatum sidelined by injury. Brown seemed like he was on a mission to remind everyone why he nabbed the MVP trophy last year. Mission accomplished, J.
So here’s the skinny on his playoff stats so far: averaging 26 points, 7.5 boards, and 3.5 assists — not too shabby for two games in, am I right? You start to realize, this guy’s season, which was already solid with averages like 22.2 points and shooting over 46%, is just leveling up as we watch. Man’s got big energy that runs on extra gritty fuel.
Alright, so while the Magic are trying to figure out why they failed to show up for the first couple of rounds, the Celtics gotta head into enemy territory. Orlando might gear up for a comeback, but if Brown keeps tearing up the floor, that may not be a thing. Yes, even if his teammates spend more time on the bench than the court — he’s already made history, but seems like he’s itching to drape another championship banner.
So, who’s betting against him? Not this guy. Not now, not ever. Brown’s on a mission, and I’m here for it, popcorn in hand, wondering how it all plays out because, let’s be honest, he’s got that don’t-mess-with-me aura that’s not easy to shake. Here’s to seeing where this Celtics run goes next. Can’t wait.
