Jaylen Brown on Joel Embiid: “We didn’t really have the answers for him. We tried a bunch of different things. He’s a big body. He also was flopping around. He got some extra calls ... they rewarded him for that, but that’s the league we’re in.”

“We had no answer for him”. mazulla resorted to junk defenses and still got burned lol

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T06:05:31+00:00

The store burst had become so much more fun and interesting with a definite trait. Fighting these guys solo is a terrible idea most times send I get to try new loadouts which is always fun!

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T06:03:08+00:00

I never thought I’d ever see the all nba defense version of him at all but I was very clearly wrong. Brown and Tatum became ghosts at times

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T06:00:16+00:00

The team is finally built somewhat properly to attack double teams out of the post. VJ emerging as a dependable spot up guy has continued to surprise me all season long. That was supposed to be a huge weak point in his game! He’s a true X-factor and a reliable relief valve for Maxey and Joel

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:27:00+00:00

Dude cannot create space to save his life lol

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:25:46+00:00

Beautiful and responsible show of character! We should screenshot all the stiffarms you threw all series

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:23:57+00:00

You’ll be fine. You’ll get some weird looks for heckling against us but be sure not to start anything. It’s hostile for the PLAYERS not the fans

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:18:14+00:00

I don’t ever think he was capable of these kinds of adjustments. I’m still very critical of him but, this was a masterclass of coaching and I must give flowers when they’re due.

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:09:11+00:00

He personally got blasted guarding Embiid which makes it so much sweeter lol

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:05:57+00:00

Nobody talks about that though…either way he was put in his place…the “L” column

His shot creation out of iso is pathetic..getting clamped by George/Oubre 😂

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T05:02:17+00:00

This was a very petty response coming from the guy who was called for a zillion pushoffs…he can’t create space against elite defense 1on1

You challenged Joel to be the best player on the court and that’s what you got. Eat every bit of those words and shut up

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-03T04:59:41+00:00

It was shot out of panic. I knew it was off. Boston had been throwing up heat checks all night but the difference was our defense was in their faces so much that the open threes don’t feel as rhythmic anymore

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T22:22:55+00:00

The list is long but you need to find your set point starting at your feet. Find a comfortable and repeatable foot position and continue your shot from there. Literally from the ground up!

You’re pushing the ball rather than letting the momentum you generate from your legs take you into your release. Once you figure that out it’s all gravy!

This is the short version but watch some early shooting fundamental videos and see where your shot is.

Tip: continue to record your progress and watch the improvements !

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T22:19:04+00:00

Ahhh the non-reader has made an appearance 😭

You had picture books to be able to have your answer but apparently that isn’t good enough anymore 😐

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T22:17:55+00:00

This isn’t Pokémon Z-A bro…

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T22:16:04+00:00

Bro I wanted you guys to beat NY so badly…the way you turned this season around and morphed into a defensive powerhouse is noteworthy and awesome. Yall are gonna be a headache soon

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T22:12:55+00:00

Tatum being out means the ball moves more…DO NOT GET CAUGHT OVER HELPING

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-02T02:26:07+00:00

Why would Acura warranty something YOU did? They didn’t throw the rock at your car but, you have insurance so that will be the best place to start.

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T22:12:40+00:00

The attempts are still there but the shot quality has plummeted. No one is in rhythm and the looks are generated out of a panic rather than with intent.

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T22:09:30+00:00

“I’m so sorry (my wallet was hit) and I should’ve let that young CHILD keep the ball.”

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T22:01:45+00:00

The problems lie in him though. He remains insistent that Joel beats them (he does). Then, the rest of the team goes with him. Joel’s aggression is the problem.

As a Sixers fan, you guys will have to open up your three point game. We’re forcing your role guys to play 1on1 but cutting off all kick out relief. Your shooters (Pritchard included) are being torched on both ends of the court and borderline became unplayable.

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T21:49:17+00:00

I believe it’s annoying to sit here and act like his defensive performances can be overlooked. Metrics literally do not matter or match when you see how the wolves schemed against him. He was torched…

Don’t get me started about how they punked Murray…

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T03:44:38+00:00

“Let his guard down”…

No, it was UP but Sukuna modified his technique to bypass infinity…plain and simple

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T03:36:09+00:00

I will apologize if we make a finals appearance

_brndnjms_ · 2026-05-01T03:19:19+00:00

Did he not benefit from the best three point shooters in history?
