Jaylen Brown is ready to go. He’s ready for his Celtics to defend their title, but he knows they have a target on their backs this time around, as he told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. “Last year is over, honestly. We celebrated, we had a good time. It was a great summer. I had a great summer, by the way. But it’s over. Now we have a target on our backs. Everybody’s trying to get at us and I’m like, ‘Come on.’ It’s time to get back to work. And I’m looking forward to next season.” -via NBC Sports / August 21, 2024
