Jaylen Brown Will Not, Under Any Circumstance, Take His Foot Off Ben Simmons' Throat

Grant Williams came into tonight’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers 0-for-ever from distance. The man outright refused to make a three. Open threes, contested threes. None were going down. That streak finally ended on his 26th attempt when he put one right in the Cavs’ eyeball. The Garden erupted, his teammates went crazy, he couldn’t help but smile. It was a beautiful moment.

That was until after the game, when Jaylen Brown took a wholesome shot and turned it into something sinister. He took a shot, redirected it and transformed it into a nuclear missile aimed directly at the Philadelphia 76ers.

Boom. Roasted. “You know what we call our rookie who shoots like an asshole? Ben Simmons.” I love it. Sure, Ben Simmons has hit TWO three pointers now. There’s no denying that. But I love that Jaylen is feeling himself. That the Celtics want everyone to know that they’re not just another team in the East. They thwarted the Heat. They dismantled the Bucks. They’ve claimed the souls of the Raptors. And now they’re plotting revenge on the 76ers. Make no bones about it, Jaylen knows the 76ers are coming to Boston on Thursday. This is a Sun Tzu level war tactic to bait Simmons into hoisting threes in an attempt to prove Jaylen wrong for calling out his cowardice on such a public forum. A brown recluse spider creeping in the cracks ready to bite the neck of its enemy, inducing a full body paralysis with no known antidote. Thursday is going to be a rock fight and I, for one, cannot wait.
