The Boston Celtics have fought to avoid being swept by the eighth-seeded Miami Heat, but they have a long way to go if they hope to somehow overturn a 3-0 series deficit into a win.
Chemistry would be the main driver of teams in that situation, but it seems the chemistry in Boston is off after Jaylen Brown didn’t defend Grant Williams agitating Jimmy Butler in a Game 3 loss. Draymond Green thinks that interaction alone has doomed Boston.
“When I saw JB after the game and they asked him about Grant poking the bear or whatnot, and he said, ‘Next question’. To me, I’m like, ‘Oh, they done.’ But JB situation, you still ride with your man and be like, boy you start talking, ‘Jimmy played well, it is what it is. We got to do what we got to do.’ You can’t next question, JB. That was the mentality that their team took on in Game 3. Next question, next game, next play, this is it. You could tell there’s more there once that happened.”

Game 4 saw them pull off a gutsy win, but to do it three more times will be challenging. If the Celtics can pull this off despite Jaylen Brown looking clearly discontent and Joe Mazzulla saying he’s lost the locker room, it might be one of the greatest stories in NBA history.
Jaylen Brown’s Future In Doubt
If The Celtics are eliminated in the Conference Finals, they will be forced into a situation where they need to make a move. They have run the nucleus of the roster to the ground without securing a title, though they have comprehensively proven that they’re either the best or second-best team in the East almost every season.
They need to elevate to the championship level, and Brown is likely going to be the piece they move to make that dream become a reality. It also seems like Jaylen would welcome a move, as this season has been arguably one of the most acrimonious seasons of this era in Boston.
