Jaylen Brown is ready for all of it. He is amped and ready for his Celtics to defend their title, but he knows this time around they have a target on their back, as he told Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area. “Last year is over, to be honest. We celebrated, we had a good time. It’s been an awesome summer. I’ve been having a great summer, by the way. But it’s over with it. Now we got the target on our back. Everybody’s trying to come after us and I’m like, ‘come on.’ It’s back to work. And I’m looking forward to next season.” -via NBC Sports / August 21, 2024
