Jaylen Brown on next season: 'We're getting to the Finals'

Jaylen Brown has never been shy from a confidence standpoint and that trend continued on Wednesday during an appearance on CJ McCollum's "Pull Up" podcast.

The 21-year-old shooting guard declared that the Celtics would be a Finals team this year after coming one game short of a trip last season.

"Oh, we're getting to the Finals. No question about it," Brown said.

Brown also doubled down on comments made about LeBron James during summer league, wishing the All-Star would have remained in the East so the Celtics could have another shot at him.

"I hate how everybody is like, 'Oh, LeBron's gone in the East,'" Brown said. "I know he did have a strong hold on the East for the last seven years, but he barely got us out of there this year. And our mindset was like, 'Man, he's not beating us again.'"

Brown also spoke at length about the talent returning across the C's roster and the expectations they face as Eastern Conference favorites heading into next year.

"We got a lot of talent on this team. And we've got some real good mindsets, and it's a pleasure playing with them all. But we have to be on one page if we want to be successful."
