""For him, it's about what he can do better on the court," Pierce said. "This is the thing: when you start getting more of the rope, you've got to be more responsible. "So he's going to get more leeway - and not that he didn't have all of the leeway, but now he's the main focus. So with that comes more responsibility. You know, 'How do I get my other teammates involved more? Where I gotta maybe change my game up a little bit?'""
""He can't have the mindset like, I've got to go in and score more points because we're losing points in Tatum.""
""Brown will be the Celtics' go-to scoring option this season.""
Jaylen Brown will serve as the Celtics' primary scoring option during an extended absence by Jayson Tatum as Tatum recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tatum had been a durable presence, rarely missing games since his 2017 rookie season. Offseason roster moves, including trades of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, further reshaped the team. Brown must assume greater responsibility, adjust his playing style, and involve teammates more to maintain offensive balance. Forcing scoring or trying to simply replace lost points risks disrupting team chemistry and efficiency.
