Morning Dump Jaylen Brown TV show has more to say: Every morning, we collect the links of the day and dump them here ... highlighting the great story. Because there is nothing as satisfying as a good morning dump.
- Brown was quoted in a Heavy.com story Dec. 16 as saying that Irving was "unworthy" of the blame for last year's disappointing season, and instead said that "the organization and the coaching staff. "they should bear most of the blame.
- Brown refuted those comments before Wednesday night's game against the Mavericks, saying his statements were misleading.
"I think it was a wrong quote, certainly, but to be honest, I'm tired of talking about it and tired of being asked," he said. "I would definitely say it was a wrong quote. It didn't go the way I said it, the way it was written with a narration in which he already wrote the story the way he wanted to write. "But I definitely didn't intend that way. But I'm tired of being asked to be honest."
Morning Dump Jaylen Brown TV show
Boston Globe
WEEI yesterday contacted Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson to express his opinion about Jaylen's notion that he was wrongly quoted (in particular, the article on Heavy.com was presented as a transcript interview). Robinson apparently met Jaylen Brown at a high school basketball tournament at Barclays Center where Robinson was making color comments. He sat with Brown for half the time of the game, recorded the interview, and apparently transcribed it later. The problem is, Brown's comments about the front office are almost completely offended by part-time entertainment.
Robinson insisted that he quote Brown accurately and said he understands why Jaylen would try to "back down" his comments.
So did Robinson quote Brown badly?
Who knows.
I think it's entirely possible that Robinson has missed a few words that would have slightly changed the character of Brown's comment. However, in the clip WEEI posted (around 2:30 in the audio), you could hear Brown go straight to talking about guys who "couldn't take a step back" to talk about him. 'front office, and if Brown was to blame himself for last season's disappointment, it came after he blamed' other guys' and in front office.
While I think Robinson got the quote from Brown more or less accurately, I don't think Robinson is right in implying that Brown is trying to reverse what he said to smooth things out with the front office and body. technician, because I don't think the C's head office and coaching staff are too worried about a 23-year-old who's cautious. In the end, if the C's coaches and management were the kind of people who would sit around dissecting news reports, Boston would be sunk in the bottom of the league, and they probably wouldn't have recruited Brown in the first place.

"He was training hard and he could work and he has only one toe / toe, it's right there, right where his toe connects to his foot," said Ainge. "It's just a little pain and we're trying to figure out what it is." He received a cortisone injection, hoping it would improve, but it did make it worse. So we are trying to solve all this. No one knows exactly what the problem is. "
