“He Was Flopping Around”: Jaylen Brown Takes Shot at Joel Embiid, Questions NBA After Game 7 Loss

credits: Imagn ©credits: Imagn Boston is not in love with The Process . Joel Embiid is not the most favorite person in TD Garden and Boston City right now. The fans showed it.

The Celtics bench showed it. Now, after the Philadelphia 76ers eliminated the Boston Celtics 109-100 in a decisive Game 7, even the players and the head coach are showing it. But that’s the collateral of shutting down your critics.

After all, there was very little faith in Embiid to not ‘flop’ this postseason too. As reliable as the big man is during the regular season, his availability evaporates in the postseason and his production declines. ‘Playoff Embiid’ wasn’t a concept until 2026.

And it’s got Jaylen Brown and his head coach very upset. Contrary to every expectation, the 76ers came back from a near impossible 3-1 deficit in this series with a huge heave by Joel Embiid. While the Sixers celebrated their leap to the Eastern Conference semifinals, the atmosphere in the Boston locker room was one of frustration.
