The Boston Celtics’ rollercoaster season came crashing to an end Wednesday night, falling to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Optional player interviews took place at the Auerbach Center on Thursday, where we heard from Jaylen Brown, who issued an apology to the Celtics fanbase. As the 22-year-old voiced, things didn’t go as they planned following the major expectations Boston entered the season with.
Brown has shown this in the past, but that’s an impressively mature response for any 22-year-old.
Most Celtics fans would be able to tell you that when things went bad for this year’s team, they completely snowballed. Brown would agree with them.
After discussing the team’s downfalls, the Celtics guard turned positive, saying that he looks at things optimistically.
We know it’s tough for Celtics fans to do this less than 24 hours after a blowout, season-ending loss, but this is the smart approach heading into what should be a very busy offseason for Danny Ainge and Boston’s front office.
