Celtics' Jaylen Brown's frustration with refs dismissed by Dan Patrick
· Yahoo Sports
Jaylen Brown has found himself in hot water over the past couple of days. The Boston Celtics All-Star recently went on a live stream to call out the game officials following the Celtics' 3-4 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs, where Boston surrendered a 3-1 series lead. Brown shared his belief that the referees had "an agenda" during the series and were calling things unfairly, with a slight bias against him.
Brown specifically noted how using his off-hand to create space was being called a foul, when it has become a common move among top-level NBA talents. Furthermore, he criticized Joel Embiid for 'flopping' when absorbing contact on either side of the floor.

"If you're going to call push-offs, call that," Brown said. "Same move. Same refs. Oh, it's nothing? It's play on, right?" Brown said. "But you gonna call me? Everybody does it ... but if it would have been me, it'd have been an offensive foul. Every good basketball player does this. What are y'all talking about? They clearly had an agenda. If Jaylen does this move, call the offensive foul and follow him every time. I don't know if it's because I (expletive) the refs off. I've been critical about them, and I called them out a bunch of times."
During a recent episode of the "Dan Patrick Show," the host dismissed the notion that Brown received an unfair whistle throughout the series. He noted how NBA players will do "what they can get away with," and that the officials were calling the game as fairly as possible.
