Isiah Thomas then talks about the Boston Celtics’ most recent win against the Miami Heat. He says, “He(Brown) took eleven shots and they won. That is kind of the Celtics way. They know how to be unselfish. And they know how to play together and work together…and the most important thing is about winning.

Impressed with the Celtics’ team chemistry, the NBA Hall of Famer claims that, “Jaylen Brown is all about winning. Porzingis is playing well or Tatum is playing well, and they are winning and Brown takes eleven shots, I think he’s (Brown) fine with that.

 

However, Isiah Thomas states that if the Celtics are losing and Jaylen Brown is taking 11 shots, then it could become problematic.
