Jaylen Brown took his chance to take one final swipe at Joel Embiid with the Boston Celtics<\/a>\u2019 season coming to an end.<\/p>\n The Celtics star spoke to reporters on Saturday after his team lost Game 7 of their first-round series against Embiid\u2019s Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>. Brown initially sounded like he was praising Embiid, calling him an interior presence that none of Boston\u2019s big men could handle. That was before Brown blasted the former MVP for \u201cflopping around.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t really have an answer for him. \u2026He\u2019s a big body,\u201d Brown said<\/a>. \u201cHe also was flopping around. He got some extra calls, and stuff like that, and they rewarded him for that. But that\u2019s the league that we\u2019re in. That\u2019s all I\u2019ve got to say.\u201d<\/p>\n Embiid finished with a game-high 34 points on 12-of-26 shooting with 12 rebounds and six assists. He also got to the free-throw line 11 times.<\/p>\n To his credit, Embiid, who is less than a month removed from an emergency appendectomy<\/a>, got battered and bruised throughout the contest and still managed to play until the final buzzer. The 76ers star even took a scary blow to the knee after Brown shoved Tyrese Maxey into the big man\u2019s legs in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
