What Jaylen Brown and Duncan Robinson shouted to each other during their altercation on the floor last night is now public knowledge.
On the floor last night, Jaylen Brown and Duncan Robinson had a heated argument. Robinson and Brown were involved in a hard foul that was called flagrant during the Celtics’ victory against the Heat. Jaylen had responded angrily to Duncan’s harsh defence by locking arms with him, which may have resulted in harm had Brown attempted to pull away.
The two became combative with one another on the court, according to the audio of their exchange that was released.
Duncan Robinson: “Get off of me, please.”
“What the f**k is your problem?” asks Jaylen Brown. Why did you act in that way?

That Was A Bad Call Against The Rockets
Jaylen Brown was called for a foul after Robinson locked arms with him, and he replied violently, which sparked this argument. Given that Duncan started the collision, this definitely should have been a double technical or perhaps a Heat foul, since we’ve seen Kyrie Irving dislocate his shoulder in a similar circumstance.
After the Celtics defeated the Heat 110-106 to win the season series, Brown got the final laugh. Throughout the game, Robinson scored 15 points on 45.5% shooting from the field, while Brown scored 20 points on 50.0% shooting.
Since there was no indication of animosity during their last playoff run, this was the players’ first significant on-court altercation.
Jaylen Brown and Duncan Robinson made disparaging remarks in the press
After the game, both players were questioned about the play. Brown blasted Duncan for making the move on purpose, saying he wouldn’t want to play defence, and vowing he wouldn’t attempt it again.
“I believe Duncan Robinson understood exactly what he was doing in that situation. He didn’t want to play defence, so he tried to get twisted up, etc. He continued to try to cling on as they called a foul, and I was attempting to free my arm. I’m not sure what he was attempting to accomplish, but you can guarantee he won’t do it again.
Robinson retaliated angrily as well, branding it Brown’s “dirty play” and describing it as risky, needless, and over the top.
To be honest with you, I simply felt like it was a dirty play. People miss entire seasons in this way. You’ve seen throughout NBA history that such kinds of plays cause serious injuries to players. I considered it to be excessive, needless, and hazardous.
The Heat vs. Celtics rivalry has a new chapter since both players appeared uninterested in one another before to today. The Heat are now struggling to recover from yet another injury-plagued season, sitting at 28-25, while the Celtics, at 41-12, are the unquestionably best team in the East.
