Jaylen Brown Drops Bold Claim That Could Transform Celtics’ Playoff Destiny
So here we are, staring down the barrel of yet another Boston Celtics season filled with questions bigger than the lineup itself. Can a team missing Jayson Tatum — and having just waved goodbye to Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Al Horford — really hustle back into playoff contention? Sure, it’s tempting to panic when the marquee names vanish almost overnight, leaving the parquet floor feeling emptier than a New York bar on a Monday morning. Yet, here steps Jaylen Brown, brimming with that calm confidence you just can’t fake. This isn’t some rookie talking; it’s a guy who’s never missed the playoffs, who’s hoisted the Finals MVP trophy as recently as last season. So, can Brown’s unshaken belief be the spark the Celtics need to weather this storm? Or is it just the classic “glass half full” pep talk fans love to cling to in October? Whatever the answer, it’s clear—the Celtics’ story this year is gonna be one heck of a page-turner.

Many people are understandably concerned about the current state of the Boston Celtics.
With the injury of Jayson Tatum and departures of Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Al Horford, a lot of fans feel the Celtics will have a tough time making the playoffs.
But Jaylen Brown still believes in his team, and he wants everyone to know the Celtics can still accomplish a lot.
“I’ve never not been in the playoffs. I have more playoff wins than 15 or 16 teams. I know what it takes. I know this group has it. I know what we can accomplish,” Brown said.

Last year, Brown put up 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists for the Celtics.
Those are robust numbers, but he will have to do even more in the new year.
Brown will have to go beyond simply scoring because Boston will require more leadership from him since Tatum will be gone.
He will be the team’s central scorer as well as their floor general at times.
To his point, Brown has been in the playoffs every year and has found a lot of success during the postseason.
He was named Finals MVP when the Celtics claimed their latest title in 2023-24 and has been a reliable threat during every series.
But the team has never been in a situation quite like this, and fans have every right to be afraid of what’s next.
Brown has a lot of faith in the Celtics, but it might be a while before everyone else feels the same way.
