The Boston Celtics are in uncharted territory after starting the 2025-26 regular season at 1-3. Boston hasn't lost three of its first four games since 2015-16—the season before it drafted Jaylen Brown at No. 3 overall in the 2016 NBA Draft.
With Brown facing adversity unlike any he's encountered on a basketball court with the Celtics, he did what fans have come to expect: Spoke the brutal truth out loud for all to hear.
Boston dropped its first three games by a combined total of 17 points—devastating results against postseason-caliber opponents in the Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia 76ers.
