The Celtics’ Jaylen Brown continues his frustrations with the refs

It wouldn’t be the first time The Celtics star talked about the trial in the past, but something about Sunday’s game caught him off guard. The stats are eye-opening, as Boston only has four free throw attempts compared to the Spurs’ 20. Brown would have none of the four, again expressing frustration.

“Honestly, I feel like they got away with a lot, and I’m tired of the inconsistency,” Brown said. “I’ll take the penalty at this point. I thought they were some bulls*** tonight. I think (the Spurs are) a good defensive team, but they’re not that damn good.”

The Celtics are currently 24-14 and look to bounce back on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers.
