The NBA Conference finale turned out to be a jaw-dropping event that left fans in awe. This highly anticipated game was tuned in by millions, and by the time it ended, Boston Celtics fell short of reaching the coveted finale. The Celtics scored their lowest-ever total of 84 in a game this season playing against the Miami Heat. The winning team dominated the game with a comfortable lead of 19 points. The Celtics fans are outraged, and their biggest target of them all is Jaylen Brown.
Shannon Sharpe was one of the people who didn’t spare a single second before ripping on Jaylen. The latter’s horrible performance has left his team with a devastating loss, that led to his trade speculations hours after the game.

The Heat played exceptionally well in Game 7, and now they will face the Denver Nuggets in the finals. Their players showcased peak performance throughout the entire game, and the Celtics couldn’t seem to catch up. While the Heat’s Jimmy Butler contributed 28 points in the game, Jaylen committed 8 turnovers for the Celtics. Following his devastating performance, Shannon Sharpe didn’t hold back on Twitter, taking a few shots at Jaylen and his struggles on the court. He tweeted, “Jaylen Brown should open up a bakery with all them turnovers. His handles are AWFUL.”

Sharpe was furious after the devastating loss, but mostly at Jaylen. His 8 turnovers were more than the total turnovers of the entire opposing team combined. Sharpe had his hopes up way before the game even started. He was very confident that the Celtics were going to make history and reach the finals after Game 6. The Celtics delivered an outstanding performance in game 6, igniting a surge of hope for the fans and spectators.
Game 7 was a total downer for the fans. Jaylen wasn’t the only one who performed worse than usual. Jayson Tatum also had a declining performance that wasn’t any help for the team.
Jaylen’s trade talk and fan reactions
After Sharpe’s brutal tweet, fans all over the internet poured their heart out to express the disappointments of Game 7. The hopes were high and the finale was one game away before Jaylen’s underwhelming performance.
One fan wrote,
Now we’re going to subjected to the most boring NBA finals in history. Heat have no chance against Denver. They won’t spot them 3 games and then tank game 7. Denver in 4 or 5….zzzzzzzzz

This is one of the reasons why there’s trading rumors whenever his name comes up. The Celtics are losing momentum.

The experts all over the internet were already in talks of trade rumors for Jaylen. And now it has become more intense. Most of them are urging the management to break Jaylen and Tatum’s duo to keep the team in place. But it must be acknowledged that the team has performed exceptionally well before Game 7. It was a heart-wrenching finale and the Celtics tried very hard to get an upper hand till the final buzzer.
