The Boston Celtics entered the playoffs as the odds-on favorites to win the NBA Finals.
They had the best record in the league during the regular season, and after making quick of their first two playoff opponents, they have moved on to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston is already up 2-0 in this series, with much thanks going to Jaylen Brown and his 40-point performance in Game 2.
The Celtics have one of the best superstar duos in the league in Brown and Jayson Tatum, which was put on full display in this game.
While this was a known fact heading into the game, fans and reporters had a question in the postgame press conference about Brown’s snub from the All-NBA list.
After all, they just watched him drop 40 points in a playoff game, so this snub was fresh on their minds.
Some players might have been upset that they were left off this team, but Brown didn’t seem to mind.
As he said via the Celtics on NBC Sports Boston Twitter page, “We two games from the finals, so honestly, I don’t have the time to give a ****.”

Brown was, and is much more focused on his current series than being selected for an All-NBA accolade.
As he mentioned, the Celtics are only two games away from making it back to the NBA Finals.
He has been a massive part of the team’s continued brilliance and seems to fill in the cracks if and when Tatum has an off night.
