Following the Boston Celtics’ victory over the Phoenix Suns, NBA player Jaylen Brown expressed his belief in having his career-best season to reporters.
The Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown: NBAFor the Celtics, who now boast the best record in the NBA with 52-14, Brown is shooting 50.2% from the field, which is a career-high.’
On the season, Brown has shot 50.2% from the field, 35.4% from beyond the arc, and 70.4% from the charity stripe. He has averaged 23.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. With one triple-double and five double-doubles, he’s got it all.
As of this writing, the Celtics have secured a postseason position before any other NBA club. This would be the first 60-win season for the franchise since 2008-09, when they finished 62-20.
As of Thursday, March 14, the Celtics have a 9.5-game lead and will likely be the Eastern Conference’s top seed. However, they face a very tough playoff draw that includes some very good teams, such as the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers.
In the Eastern Conference Finals of 2023, the Celtics were defeated by the Heat in seven games. Despite leading the series 2-1, the Boston Celtics were defeated by the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals.
Among the NBA’s top duos, Brown and Jayson Tatum rank high. Despite their incredible success as a duo, the two All-Stars have yet to claim a championship.
How far the Celtics get in the 2024 playoffs is something to watch.
