Jaylen Brown badly wants the officials to make the right whistle and he is ready to get fined for that. One moment in Boston Celtics’ win over the Dallas Mavericks showed he is still not satisfied.
The Celtics star has got into it with the league for his daring complaints about officiating before and even got fined for it. He suggested that the referees blow their whistle depending on how blown up the name of the player was.
Cooper Flagg is a no. 1 overall pick and is regarded as a future superstar of the league. Brown’s reaction on his 10th free throw is sort of a validation of his pending stardom.
Flagg finished the game with 11 free throws and he made 10 of those. JB, on the other hand, made a trip to the line just twice.
Brown made sure to make his feelings known about this disparity.

Jaylen Brown had the last laugh
The Mavericks rookie sensation lived up to the hype as he finished with 36 points on 50 percent shooting. He also had 9 rebounds and six assists.
They failed to take home the win though as Celtics’ team play is just too much for the Mavs. They played like they did not feel the absence of 14.2 points per game guard Anfernee Simons who earlier in the day was traded to the Chicago Bulls for big man Nikola Vucevic.
Brown led his team with 33 points and 11 rebounds, followed by 26 points by Payton Prichard who played off the bench.
Luka Garza added 16 while Derrick White and Sam Hauser had 11 each.
