Jaylen Brown fined again by NBA for latest ref complaints from Celtics' Game 7 loss

The Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 series lead and lost Game 7 to the rival Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

A day after Saturday’s season-ending loss, Jaylen Brown took out his frustrations on a Twitch stream. To the surprise of few, those frustrations largely targeted game officials, whom he declared had an “agenda” to call him for offensive fouls throughout the series.

For that, the NBA fined Brown $50,000. The NBA announced the fine Tuesday evening, citing “public criticism of the officiating” on “a livestream.”

The fine is the second this season for Brown, who was docked $35,000 in January for complaints about officiating. There were multiple other instances of Brown complaining about officials this season that the NBA overlooked.

Here’s the latest from Brown that lightened his bank account.

“They keep saying, like there’s push-offs and stuff like that,” Brown said. “Do you know how many players do that? That’s the common play, a basketball play. Every player does it. So why are you targeting me?

“They clearly had an agenda. Maybe because I had spoken and was critical of the refs in the regular season. So you know how they responded? We’re gonna call every — you’re going to lead the playoffs in offensive fouls. That was the response from the officiating crew.”
