Did Jaylen Brown deserve his first career ejection vs. the New York Knicks?

Jaylen Brown’s rare display of anger and frustration following his first career ejection in the Boston Celtics’ recent win over the New York Knicks at TD Garden took fans and analysts by surprise — both when the ejection was going on late in the game as well as in the Georgia native’s animated postgame words about the incident.

The Celtics secured a 133-123 victory in what was star big man Kristaps return from injury after an extended absence, but the attention was — perhaps unfairly — shifted to Brown’s frustration and subsequent ejection due to two quick, consecutive technical fouls in the fourth quarter many felt were unearned by the NBPA VP.

Hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon discussed whether the Cal alum was unfairly bounced by the officials in the win over the Knicks, as well as the state of officiating early in the season.
