We’re just getting started, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics.

On Wednesday, January 17, the Boston Celtics defeated the San Antonio Spurs 117-98 to win their 20th straight home game.The Celtics played without two starters, but the victory increased Boston’s NBA-best record to 32-9.

Jaylen Brown, who scored a game-high twenty-one points, sent a brief but terrifying warning to the rest of the NBA following the game: the Celtics are only getting better.

“I Think We Still Are Improving,” says Jaylen Brown
Derrick White, a guard, and centre Kristaps Porzingis were not available for the Celtics’ game on Wednesday. They were both recovering from minor ailments that shouldn’t keep them off the pitch for very long. Nevertheless, the Celtics found themselves in complete command, building a 70-45 advantage at the half and winning by 19 points.

With the victory, Boston now leads the Milwaukee Bucks by a comfortable four games for the top record in the Eastern Conference. Brown was questioned about his impression of the Celtics at the halfway point of the season following the victory over the Spurs. Brown made a suggestion that the Celtics might still be playing their best ball.

Brown told NBC Sports’ Abby Chin, “I feel good.” “I don’t believe we missed any steps, and I believe we are still getting better. You have to embrace this portion of the regular season because it can lead to complacency and mental exhaustion.

We want to make sure that everyone is involved, and this is where you develop the stamina necessary for a protracted playoff run. Heading into the All-Star break, this is the stretch of the regular season that I believe is most crucial. Team, begin tally the days, and we will continue to pile up victories.

The Miami Heat destroyed the Boston Celtics at home in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago, despite the team winning 57 games. The atmosphere is different this year.

Boston’s offence has far more variety now that it has added two players in the summer. The Celtics can’t rely on Brown and Jayson Tatum alone in the closing minutes. With the addition of experienced guard Jrue Holiday and Porzingis, the Celtics had the strongest starting lineup in the league. Marcus Smart, Boston’s floor leader, was lost to the Porzingis trade; however, White took Smart’s spot in the starting lineup and, with to his two-way play, has earned significant All-Star consideration this season.

With a $304 million five-year contract, Brown’s supermax agreement with the Celtics was the biggest NBA contract ever in the offseason. Large pressure accompanies large wealth, and Brown has managed it admirably. Despite playing for a squad full with offensive weapons, he is averaging 23.3 points.

For Boston this year, sacrifice has been the name of the game. This season, Tatum, Brown, Holiday, and Porzingis have all witnessed a decline in their scoring totals. The lone Boston starter who saw an increase in his stats from the previous campaign is White. The Celtics don’t care about statistics anymore. As the Celtics prepare to hoist Banner 18 from the rafters in June, the number 18 is all that matters.
