Jaylen Brown took the blame, but Monday's loss was proof that the Celtics star needs more contributions from those around him, writes Chris Forsberg.

He has been a major part of the reason why the Celtics are the owners of a 15-10 record and the Eastern Conference's third-place spot.

Celtics star Jaylen Brown was seen exchanging words with Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff while taunting at Isaiah Stewart.

Bobby Portis backed down Jaylen Brown for a few dribbles, spun then hit the midrange jumper over the Celtics star. It was a normal play, but after making the shot, Portis talked some trash right to Brown.

The Boston Celtics haven't been able to dominate without Jayson Tatum, but they remain a good side. A loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in their recent game doesn't change that. But it did lead to a Kyle Kuzma taking a hilarious shot at Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown offered one of the most unusual compliments to the Raptors' young star, Scottie Barnes has ever received.

The Boston Celtics have enjoyed some downtime as of late, as they have played just one game over the past week, which was a 116-101 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. On Monday night, though, Jaylen Brown will lead his team into battle against the Detroit Pistons.

The Celtics missed 16 straight 3-pointers to open the second half, plus the Bucks caught fire with some of their role players.
