Jaylen Brown didn’t mince words after Boston’s 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.
It was a game where the Celtics attempted just four free throws as a team, none of them taken by Brown.
He made it clear he was ready to accept whatever punishment came next.
“I’ll accept the fine at this point. I thought it was some bulls*** tonight. I think they’re a good defensive team, but they ain’t that damn good,” Brown said postgame, via Yahoo Sports. “I hope somebody can just pull up the clips, because it’s the same s*** every time we play a good team. It’s, like, they refuse to make a call, then they call touch fouls on the other end, and that’s just extremely frustrating, bro.
“We play hard. We are outplaying our expectations, we compete hard on the defensive end and they reward the other team with touch fouls and we go down there and guys are allowed to get away with — somebody please pull it up. Every time we play a good team the inconsistency is crazy. I’ll take the f***ing fine. Curtis, all them dudes, was terrible tonight. I don’t care, they can fine me whatever they want.”
Brown wasn’t done.
“I’m irate at how they officiated the game today,” Brown said. “If we can’t get to the free throw line, and teams are allowed to be physical and bump us off our spots, it’s hard to win games like that. We shot four free throws tonight and lost the game by four.
“Not to say that’s the whole game, the whole story. We’ve got to be better in spots, I’ve got to be better in spots, but goddamn. I’m driving to the basket, I’m physical, I don’t flop, I don’t shy away from contact. I go up strong, I’m athletic, and nothing. I had zero free throws tonight. The inconsistency is f***ing crazy. Give me the fine.”
