The Boston Celtics are one of the best teams in the league but even they can be beaten. They were recently defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers, with a final score of 114-118.
After the game, Jaylen Brown gave his honest take on the Boston Celtics’ recent loss. Brown noted that though the Celtics made a “valiant effort”, he bluntly stated that the team has “to be better”.
“That was a valiant effort. There are no moral victories in this s–t. We got to win games. Period. We’ve got to be better,” said Brown.
"There's no moral victories in this s***. We got to win games. Period."

Lapses like the ones the Boston Celtics had tonight could cost them a championship, and their inexperience is part of why they lost in the NBA Finals last season. Hopefully, they can get back to that stage this year, and this time bring the Larry O’Brien trophy home.
Jaylen Brown is currently averaging 26.6 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 3.3 APG for the Boston Celtics this season. He has been part of the reason that they are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they’ll need him to be at his best to win at the highest level.
The Celtics Need To Break Their Losing Streak
The Boston Celtics have now lost 3 games in a row, and there needs to be some urgency from the team to break their losing streak. The team notably blew a 28-point lead to the Brooklyn Nets, with Jayson Tatum noting that the team simply got outplayed.
“Like Joe (Mazzulla) said when he came in, we lost it was tough,” Tatum said. “But disbelief? No, we didn’t play well, they played better than we did and usually you lose. So, it’s not disbelief, I don’t even know if it’s anger. Played too many games to be angry. Move on (and) get ready for the next one. It is what it is essentially.”
Hopefully, we see the Boston Celtics right the ship in the coming weeks. They are a team that has a lot of talent, and it is quite likely that they’ll figure things out sooner rather than later.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown made it to the Finals together, and they could potentially do that once again this year. They are clearly a top-tier duo, and it would be no surprise to see them win it all at the end of the postseason.
