Brown should take solace in one thing. With quotes like this, he and All-Star teammate Jayson Tatum are two peas in a pod. That's not nothing. At least they're united on one extremely corny front.

A bad bone bruise and an impingement have affected Brown's game enough to have him sit out the end of the 2024-25 regular season.

Everyone who got meaningful minutes for Boston played well versus Orlando. Derrick White led the Celtics in scoring with 30 points, while Payton Pritchard poured in 19 points off the bench. All-Star Jayson Tatum had a double-double of 17 points and 14 rebounds, while reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown finished with 16 points and five rebounds.
