00:00Joe Missoula postgame talking about why Jalen Brown was benched in the first half last night
00:04in Brooklyn. I say benched because apparently he was benched. I didn't watch the first half.
00:10I'm not watching Celtics Nets unless it's close. No one else is either, by the way.
00:15I'm not watching NBA blowouts. So when they play a team like that, I got to see the nature of the
00:20game before I check in. So I started to check in in the second half. It was, was it tied at half?
00:26It was close. 62-61 at halftime. Celtics barely had a lead. They play a garbage in the first half.
00:31Okay. So I started to check in in the second half because it was a competitive bogey.
00:35And I remember in the third quarter, Jalen Brown started going off. And I remember Scal and or
00:40Carter there saying something along the lines of, well, he only played 10 minutes. I wonder if
00:44Brown's going to come out here from his regular rotation. He only played 10 minutes in the first
00:47half, which is kind of odd. And then I, did they continue the conversation or not? I can't remember.
00:52I was in and out. I was just checking in. Probably not because they got tased for an
00:55anti-Celtics take. So that's the closest I heard. And again, I didn't see the full game.
01:01I didn't listen to the full game. I didn't watch our post game show. So I don't know if this was
01:06covered. I'm not blaming anyone for not covering it. But as far as I'm concerned, I did not know
01:10he was benched last night and I was kind of around the game, just around it in the periphery of it.
01:16But apparently he was, he only played 10 minutes in the first half. He didn't play well.
01:19And I know he was benched because, well, Jalen Brown said this after the game.
01:24No, I was just playing like in the first half, honestly, turning the ball over, et cetera. So I
01:30just, you know, it took a minute for me to figure it out, but I kind of picked it up to close the
01:36game, but got to come out to a better start in the first half, especially in the first quarter
01:40because the team kind of feeds off me. I know that. So I got to be better.
01:45And Joe's just holding me to a higher standard.
01:48Jalen Brown told me he was benched.
01:49Yeah, he did. He only, I mean, he admitted it. So, you know what? Good for Joe Mazzula.
01:54All right. Absolutely.
01:55We'll take it.
01:56Yeah. And I, I actually doing some coaching.
01:58Yeah. I actually did watch a chunk of the first half.
02:01There was nothing else on last night. So I had the Celtics on early.
02:0412 turnovers.
02:05Yeah. In the first half. And Brown had three of them, I think in the second quarter, maybe three
02:09and a half for the game.
02:10He, he was, uh, he, he made a turnover in the second quarter that took me back to the
02:16NBA finals against Golden State. He tried to dribble through three guys. They took the
02:20ball away. And at that point, I almost threw something at my TV because I was like, cause
02:25they were horrible with the basketball in the first half as bad as I've seen in a long,
02:29long time. And I didn't put it together. I wasn't keeping track of the minutes. And so
02:34when they said what they said in the third quarter about how we only played 10 minutes, I said,
02:38Oh, and, uh, and Brown owned up to it after the game. So Missoula did. He sat his ass down.
02:44You're going to have your head up your ass for the first half. Sit down.
