Jared Weiss: Asked Jaylen Brown if the Nets’ process with Kyrie Irving is fair: “I think you are asking for a need to satisfy the common public & I’m not sure if that is something that Kyrie is looking to do. I don’t think he meant any harm by posting it. But the comment that Joe Tsai made which I feel like bothered a lot of people was like, ‘He has more work to do.’ Like, what does that mean? Our society has more work to do, including Joe Tsai. So I’m curious to know what that is, what that means, and everybody is tuned in.”

Brown: “I don’t think (Irving) meant any harm by posting it.”
Says Tsai and Silver both affirmed Irving isn’t antisemitic, and that he’s apologized.
“He has more work to do? What does that mean? … I’m curious.” – 10:46 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Jaylen Brown was alarmed #nets owner Joe Tsai didn’t say they’re working toward getting Kyrie Irving back on the court, but that he has more work to do. Brown said Tsai, Nike and business owners have more work to do, and that he’s trying to protect Irving’s legal rights as VP. – 10:44 PM

Jaylen Brown on changing the momentum tonight:
Once we got the crowd in the game, we started guarding our yard a little better – 10:41 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Jaylen Brown: “Tonight was a resilient win, a tough game to win.”
Said the Celtics got “a great performance from our point guard, Marcus Smart.” said the game wasn’t pretty but they found a way to win. – 10:41 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown said he had a knee contusion in the game before last and then the game before that he had a slight right ankle sprain, so that’s why he sat out the second night of a back-to-back. – 10:40 PM

Jaylen Brown on missing the game the other day:
Had a little knee contusion…they advised me to sit out during a back to back – 10:40 PM

Jaylen Brown has 18 points, but this hasn’t been a great game for him. OKC is going at him defensive. It’s either directly, like with SGA a few times or off-ball by back cutting him over and over. – 8:46 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
The Celtics defense has made so many mistakes guarding OKC’s cuts out on the weak side, targeting Jaylen Brown several times when he had the low man position on the baseline. Poku is jumping over Grant for boards and OKC’s length driving the lane has been a problem. – 8:41 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Kyrie Irving remains listed as out with his suspension for the Nets at Sacramento on Tuesday. Ben Simmons questionable with his left knee soreness. – 8:20 PM

Despite “productive” meetings with Adam Silver and Joe Tsai last week, Kyrie Irving remained suspended for his 6th consecutive game Sunday.
And reports today say the NBPA could take action if Irving and the Nets don’t reach a resolution soon. clutchpoints.com/nets-news-nbpa…5:43 PM

The @Cleveland Cavaliers Darius Garland became the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 50 points with 10 3P made in a game (age in years-days):

22-311 – Kyrie Irving (1/2815)
22-342 – Saddiq Bey (3/17/22)

Nets are 4-2 w/out Kyrie Irving since he was suspended. It’s not an aberration since he got to Brooklyn.
Nets are 60-51 with Irving (.541 win%)
Nets are 73-56 without Irving (.566 win%)
Nets had NBA’s worst defense with him this year, and have had NBA’s best defense without him – 10:57 AM

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant’s arrival in Brooklyn came weeks after the Lakers traded for Anthony Davis. It also coincided with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard going to the Clippers. All three teams went all in to win now. The Nets see the parallels. Story: theathletic.com/3882003/2022/1…10:54 AM

Kemba Walker said he helped Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown stick together amid constant trade rumors. The former Celtics guard discussed the situation with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod (h/t Conor Roche of Boston.com): “I remember me telling those guys, because they’ve always seen the talks and everybody saying they can’t play with each other, I always told them just block that out. I always told them, this organization isn’t going nowhere without you two, literally. My main thing to those guys was that they have to love each other. Jayson and Jaylen, you two guys have to come together as much as you can and lead this team to the promised land. They can’t go anywhere without those two guys.” -via Bleacher Report / November 14, 2022
