If this series ends in 4 games, we have questions about Mazzulla. Because this series ended in 7 games, we have questions about Jaylen Brown – 11:17 PM
TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Considering the ramifications of the incoming lead apron over the next couple years, Jaylen Brown getting the supermax will be debilitating.
Who is & who is not worth that supermax is going to be a fascinating conversation over the coming years.
It will start with Jaylen Brown. – 11:06 PM

Kylen Mills @KylenMills
It’s fascinating seeing the same Warriors fans who rag on Jordan Poole for turnovers saying they want to the team to pick up Jaylen Brown. I’d take Andrew Wiggins over Brown every day of the week. #dubnation10:42 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Can you think of a worse individual performance in a Game 7 for Jaylen Brown, other than the Beard? – 10:42 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Really tough draw for Jayson Tatum to turn his ankle that badly on the literal opening possession of Game 7,
But in a game that required Jaylen Brown to step up and show he can be a No. 1, he proved he is not one. – 10:39 PM
Rick Noland @RickNoland
If you think Jaylen Brown is better than Donovan Mitchell, don’t even talk to me about basketball – 10:34 PM

Turnovers tonight:
Jaylen Brown:
8
The entire Heat team combined:
7 – 10:30 PM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
7-of-20 from the field and 8 turnovers for Jaylen Brown, who’s supposed to be on his way to ring No. 4 or 5 at this point – 10:29 PM
Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Jaylen Brown w/ 8 turnovers to Miami’s 7 is really insane. Can’t do that AND shoot 24% from 3 – 10:29 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Not sure who first suggested the Jaylen Brown for Simons+3 trade (I wanna say Simmons?)… but I’m much more into that today than I was a week ago, especially if Scoot slips to No. 3. – 10:28 PM
Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh
Jaylen Brown’s 8 turnovers is a career-high and the most in a Celtics Game 7 in franchise history, per @stathead. – 10:26 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
I’ve never empathized more with an NBA player than I have watching Jaylen Brown try to use his left hand to dribble tonight. – 10:26 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Please don’t include the Thunder in fake trades for Jaylen Brown. The man can not dribble or even connectively play make. Sam Presti isn’t bringing him in based on what he’s been looking for. – 10:25 PM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
Jaylen Brown is eligible for a $295 million contract that many assumed Boston had to give him.
His performance in this series has been disastrous. He’s been horrific tonight. – 10:25 PM
Vincent Ellis @AlabamaScribe56
Wow, Jaylen Brown. – 10:24 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Probably too late now, but Celtics needed to get Jaylen Brown out of the game for a little while. They can’t overcome all his mistakes. – 10:24 PM
Souichi Terada @SouichiTerada
Extremely forgettable series for Jaylen Brown. – 10:24 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown fumbles the ball away again as the boos come in. Just a complete collapse by the Celtics after Tatum got hurt at the beginning of the night. – 10:24 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
7 Jaylen Brown turnovers so far and we just started the 4th quarter. – 10:17 PM
Brian Geltzeiler @BGeltzNBA
Another ball handling mistake Jaylen Brown. Some of the issue is judgment related but some of it is simply about dribbling the ball lower. A simple fundamental adjustment that is hurting the Celtics in a huge spot for the 2nd straight year – 10:17 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Heat 52, Celtics 41
Miami is 24 minutes away from the NBA Finals thanks to going 8-for-16 from 3, compared to 4-for-21 for Boston.
The Celtics are now 11-for-56 from 3 since the start of Game 6.
Caleb Martin has 14 for Miami, Jaylen Brown has 13 for Boston. – 9:25 PM

Briefly nodded off and had the weirdest dream – dreamt hat Duncan Robinson blocked a Jaylen Brown stepback 3. – 9:18 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Celtics finally get a stop and Jaylen Brown takes a no-pass stepback 3 so bad it gets blocked. – 9:17 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Celtics are 2/16 on all shots outside the paint (0/13 3s, Jaylen Brown only player to shoot in midrange) before Horford 3 – 9:07 PM
