Jaylen Brown Criticizes Officiating Again
Brown's Frustration with Free Throws
After the Boston Celtics faced the San Antonio Spurs, Jaylen Brown was clearly upset about the officiating. He pointed out that he did not get any free throw attempts during the game. The Celtics as a team only shot four free throws, while the Spurs had 20.
Comments on Officiating
Following the game, Brown did not hold back his feelings. He said, "I thought it was some unfair officiating tonight." He believes that this has been a problem throughout the season. Brown mentioned that he is ready to accept a fine for his comments, saying, "I’ll take the fine. I’m just frustrated with how the game was called." He specifically called out official Curtis Blair, stating, "Curtis and all those dudes were terrible tonight."
Previous Complaints
This was not the first time Brown voiced his concerns about officiating this week. After a game against the Denver Nuggets, he also mentioned that he felt the referees allowed too much physical play from the opposing team. He noted that he only had three free throw attempts in that game, which added to his frustration.
Brown's Season Performance
Despite his complaints, Brown is having a strong season, averaging 7.4 free throw attempts per game, which is a career high. However, he feels he deserves more opportunities at the line. His public comments may be an attempt to encourage better officiating in future games.
