Just around 24 hours after the Boston Celtics lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7, sealing their blown 3-1 series lead, Jaylen Brown decided to air out some of his thoughts on the result. After initially using his postgame press conference to mention Joel Embiid "flopping," on Sunday night, the Celtics star was on his own live stream, breaking down some of the big plays from Game 7 — and taking his criticism of the officiating a step further. Brown doubled down on his Embiid comments, then suggested there were officials who needed to be "investigated" and that many have an "agenda" against him.

"[Embiid is] a big body. He also was flopping around, he got some extra calls, stuff like that," Brown said.
