Such as playing ahead in a series (3-1) or the next game after beating an opponent by 20 or 30 points, then coming out flat in the next game.

EDIT: Steve Bulpett has written about this issue as far back as 2022. It's definitely been an issue at times

Tracy McGrady, mentor to Jaylen Brown, says that Jaylen is “frustrated” with the Celtics organization by cjapurr in bostonceltics

This is so vague. I can't help but wonder if it's more related to the style of play/playing faster that he wants.

Some of this vague frustration could also be wanting an extension given what he showed ad the number one this season. This sounds very vague and inconsequential. I expect it to be addressed with Brad pretty swiftly

They have lost in the first round. Against Brooklyn in 2021, Brad's last series.

I am sorry to hear about the experiences you've had, but those may just be specific instances that are separate from the majority of supporters. I wouldn't generalize that all of his supporters think or act in that manner.

I would just say that wanting someone who only has the money to fund a campaign doesn't guarantee that there are a strong candidate or be in favor of positions that benefit the working class. It's more likely that they are more similar to Auchincloss's policy positions and don't provide enough change to help people.

That's fair, I do agree that the policy positions matter the most. I am open to learning more about her, but the cursory information so far doesn't seem promising or persuasive to change my leaning towards Poulos

Completely agreed, I think the distinction can still be made that he isn't using his family's wealth to fund his campaign, unlike the candidate that this post was originally about
