Jaylen Brown did not disappear after Boston’s season ended. He went live.
One day after the Celtics blew a 3-1 series lead and lost Game 7 to the Philadelphia 76ers, Brown appeared on Twitch and turned the aftermath into something between a film session, a grievance hearing and a therapy session. He admitted the Celtics “had no answer” for Joel Embiid, saying he had never seen him that dominant, but he also accused Embiid of flopping and claimed the officiating had been stacked against him during the series.

Brown was frustrated. Of course he was. Boston had just watched its season collapse without Jayson Tatum, while Embiid returned to tilt the series and Philadelphia walked out of TD Garden with a 109-100 Game 7 win. His central complaint was blunt:
“Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.”

He also said officials had “an agenda” against him, connecting it to criticism he had made during the regular season, and suggested some referees from the final three games “need to be investigated.” Those are serious claims, and reveal how deeply Brown felt the series had gotten away from Boston not just tactically, but institutionally.

“They clearly had an agenda, maybe because I spoke so critical on them in the regular season”

The Celtics lost the series on the floor. Brown made sure the postmortem did not stay there.
