Jaylen Brown explained how he’s memorized all of his teammate’s astrology and numerology in order to better learn how to communicate with them: “I learned communication styles that work best for each individual, and started utilizing that when I speak to each and every guy.”

Jaylen Brown is not as down at the podium as I expected: “Game 7 is a game amongst itself, in a sense — the rest of the series, doesn't matter. It’s gonna be who's gonna show up on that day and be a better performing team.” “There’s definitely some stuff I see that I can improve.”

Asked (a very visible disappointed) Payton Pritchard how he balances processing a 56-win season with this outcome: “Just because you don't win a championship one year doesn't mean it didn't build for the next championship. So, when we won Banner 18, four years before that, we lost four straight — lost to Miami, lost in the finals. So those might have been disappointing years, but maybe those led to the championship. So, that's how I look at it.”

![Jayson Tatum on his message of gratitude to the team yesterday: “It was one, just being vulnerable, showing my appreciation to the team, of how they have played this season, how they motivated me every single day. The joy and competitive nature that they displayed, I wanted to be a part of that. And I say it all the time, going through rehab and being injured is lonely. It's not intentional. I couldn't practice for a while, I couldn't be in the game. When they were on the court, I was in the weight room, having to do my own thing. So you feel isolated, in a sense. “But I just expressed that being around as much as possible, going to games, being on the plane, really made me feel like I was still very much a part of the team, and how thankful to the group for just being themselves. I was thankful to the coaches that extended their days a lot by helping me during rehab and on the court and pick-up games [for] my conditioning. So I really just kind of telling everybody in the room that they all played a part in essentially helping me get to this moment.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2030120630461362569/amplify_video_thumb/2030120482800889856/img/Oy2OTo7OsM0rIOm1.jpg)

![Asked Jayson Tatum if he feels like there’s been a turning point with the joy he’s felt on the floor as of late: “Klay [Thompson] told me this after we played them the first time, he’s just like, ‘Man, he’s like one thing he wished he did more, when he first came back was just give himself more grace. He was like, ‘There's not too many people understand what this injury is like and coming back and the ups and downs, physically and mentally that you deal with.’ That's just something I've tried to continue to remind myself. It’s a balance of being a competitor and wanting to be the best version of yourself, but I just kind of try to remember, I've came a long way, and I'm grateful to be where I'm at. I wasn't 100% sure I was even gonna be able to play this year, so the fact that I'm able to go out there and contribute even what I'm doing now is a big win.” Has he been applying Klay’s advice? “I try. I still get frustrated.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2039549206197612984/amplify_video_thumb/2039549059934171136/img/DBCs02SI4HqeJ5_j.jpg)

Jayson Tatum on his left knee stiffness: “It was just kind of tough because rehab was just going so well the entire time. I guess it was inevitable at some point that I was gonna have to deal with was something, and it just kind of came at the worst possible time.”

Asked Jaylen Brown about the backstory to this Tweet, and he explained he had just come back from a basketball camp, and that there was a ton of commotion of kids asking him questions: “She made a comment — she was like, ‘If Jaylen doesn't do his work. I don't care what camp he went to or whatever the case may be, he's not gonna be successful if he doesn't pay attention in class.’ I might have said something back, like, ‘Whether I pay attention to class or not, I'm gonna make it.’ She was like, ‘Well, let's see. I'll see you in the Cobb County Jail.’ And that was her response. And it was a substitute teacher, and it was kind of a back and forth.” “But I empathize with teachers, because the reality is like you have a class that's probably got too many students in it, and their job is to not only teach the class, but also keep a group of like 30 students behaved.”

Joe Mazzulla explained why he doesn’t feel pressure from the Boston media: “They don’t have a weapon. They’re not gonna come after me. They’re just saying words.” “We’re either going to win or we’re not — 40 years from now, none of you are invited to my funeral, and that’s it.”

Asked Jaylen Brown how he looks at failure and success, and whether anything short of a title feels like a failure: “It's hard to reflect on it just right now, because it's so fresh from the moment. But, obviously this organization is used to playing later into the season. I think this is my first time having a first round exit. But this season, what the expectations were and how we came out and we rose to meet that level of uncertainty with this group. There's nothing more I could ask for. I had a great time with my teammates. We played hard. Feel like we left it all out there. Tonight, we came up short.”

Jaylen Brown really gushed when asked by Jay King about Anfernee Simons being traded: “Anfernee has all the respect in the world from me — it's a business, but there's a human aspect to it. And since he's been here, he's contributed to winning. He's won us some games. He's just a great, great person, great kid on and off the floor, just humble lik — I hope he gets everything that he's looking for just because he just fit right in with his group of guys in our locker room. He could have had different thoughts and thought differently, and his energy could have been different.” “Man, he was a great teammate and did everything he needed to do that we asked him and more and contributed to winning. So Anfernee has all the respect in the world from me, and I hope he gets everything he deserves.”
