Jaylen Brown on Pacers: They "Turned into F----g Michael Jordan" | Celtics Game 3 Postgame Interview

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Celtics secured a 114-111 victory at Indiana with two crucial free throws on Saturday night, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. After overcoming an 18-point deficit in the second half, the Celtics are now just one win away from their second NBA Finals appearance in three years, with a chance to clinch it on Monday in Indiana. Jaylen Brown remarked on the Pacers' performance tonight: “Some of those guys turned into fucking Michael Jordan or whatever.”

As a Celtics fan, what I love most about this clip is how after the Pacers final shot missed, instead of celebrating, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White immediately got to talking about how Nesmith got open. Take a look at that clip again. Its awesome. Thats a team that has its eyes on the prize. They weren't going nuts celebrating. They were saying 'yoooo how did he get that good a look? Thats on us.'

[@VaqueiroAruanda]

Underrated comment. I watched it again. The play was ridiculous, it was more of a football play than a basketball play. As soon as Brown realized he was basically being screened by McDermott running past, he was literally pushing DWhite to switch onto Nesmith. Instead, Jrue was incredibly aware, as soon as Turner got inside the 3-pt line, he realized it was just a decoy and recovered out to Nesmith to get at least a slight contest.

I’m glad Brown acknowledged the Pacers effort and gave them some respect. Even if the Celtics sweep us, i guarantee the Celtics did not think those were easy wins. I love my Pacers but I know how good the Celtics are. And I equally respect them as a team. No way am I comfortable with an 18 pt lead with more than a half of the game left to play. We are very streaky when it comes to scoring at times and our defense is terrible, but we’re young and hopefully we learn a lot from this playoff experience.

[@briankgruber]

I have been a Celtics fan since a little boy in Brooklyn in 1960. One of the joys of following this team is its long time pedigree of intelligent classy players. Russell. Bird. And now Horford, Brown, Tatum, White, Holiday. Listening to Brown talk about social justice or ballin,' he is just an honest thoughtful bloke. Love this guy.That MJ line is awesome. Well timed spontaneous humor. But the humility to say, we were like WTF. But they stayed with it. And they won. I'm also a Chiefs fan. Both teams much maligned (why are you not winning every game by 20 points?). But they win.

[@m617k]

They weren't getting the ball to JB much tonight but still great game from him, he's not afraid to drive and get in the paint to get buckets when really needed. Great team win! Everyone is stepping up, and making big plays. Real nice defensive plays by Holiday in these close games too. Pacers are real good young team. Cs just need to keep the foot on the gas peddle - start to finish.

That was the Pacers team that went on a scoring blitz in game 7 vs the Knicks. But now the Pacers are getting a taste of trying to win without a starter or two (Knicks/Bucks)... it's difficult.
