Michael Porter Jr., Nets beat Celtics as Jaylen Brown calls for more effort: 7 takeaways

I gotta say, I'm loving how Jaylen Brown is taking responsibility for his team's loss . It takes a big man to own up to mistakes and call out his teammates to do better. And honestly, some of those shots he missed were straight-up heartbreaking . I mean, Derrick White has been having a solid season all around, but that shooting slump is really getting in the way of his game right now... . On the flip side, Anfernee Simons stepped up big time with 23 points on 10-for-16 shooting - that's some clutch basketball right there! And I'm loving Jordan Walsh and Hugo González's energy - those two are definitely guys to watch out for in the future . The Celtics are gonna need to regroup and refocus if they wanna make a deep playoff run, but I've got faith in 'em .

I gotta say, Jaylen Brown's frustration after that loss makes sense. The kid's gotta be feeling like he's been putting up huge numbers and still can't get his team the Ws. Poor decision-making from him definitely gave Porter Jr. too many chances to shine. Anfernee Simons trying to carry the load on offense is admirable, but you can tell it's a strain. And Derrick White's shooting woes are just pesky . On the flip side, Jordan Walsh and Hugo González showed some promise - those young guys gotta keep working to live up to their potential

man that boston loss was rough Porter Jr was on fire tho! 33 points for him in the 4th quarter alone his efficiency was crazy good and left brown's team struggling to keep up I feel bad for Jaylen Brown he's been carrying that team all season but it looks like the rest of the squad needs to step up their game ️ Anfernee Simons gave a great effort tho 23 points on 10-16 shooting but at the end of the day, brown just gotta keep pushing his guys to dig deeper and for those youngins Jordan Walsh and Hugo González they showed some promise out there with their speed and energy might be the key

I don't get why Jaylen Brown's teammates can't step up when their star player is on fire . Like, what's the plan there? Just let him do his thing and hope for the best? The Celtics need to figure out a way to contain guys like Michael Porter Jr., not just try to keep pace with them. And Anfernee Simons' 23 points was just not enough to make up for Brown's mistakes... I mean, five fouls?! Come on . On the bright side, Jordan Walsh and Hugo González are looking promising . Maybe they can be the x-factors the Celtics need to turn things around .

man.. i think brown's frustration is totally relatable we all feel that way when things aren't going our way but you know what... porter jr.'s masterclass was pretty awesome too he showed us how to be efficient and unstoppable on the court. and i love how walsh & gonzález stepped up for their team - they're like the new hope for the celtics it's all about learning from our mistakes and moving forward, right? we'll get 'em next sunday against the magic

I'm so done with Jaylen Brown's excuses ! If he can't find a way to shut down Michael Porter Jr., he's not doing his job as a leader. I mean, 5 fouls? That's just poor discipline and it cost the team big time . And don't even get me started on Derrick White's shooting woes... that guy's got some serious mechanical issues . On the bright side, Jordan Walsh and Hugo González showed some promise, but you gotta think Brown's gotta do more to elevate those guys . The Celtics need a spark, not just a bunch of excuses . Bring on Sunday!
