On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers by a score of 126-110 to win Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

All-Star forward Jaylen Brown was brilliant and finished the game with 40 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal while shooting 14/27 from the field and 4/10 from the three-point range in 37 minutes of playing time.

After the game, Brown met with the media and was asked about not being named to an All-NBA Team.

The former Cal star gave a very honest answer (h/t Noa Dalzell of CelticsBlog).

Brown: "We're two games from the finals, so, honestly, I don't got the time to give a f**k."

The Celtics have a 2-0 lead in the series with Game 3 on Saturday evening in Indiana.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the NBA Finals and face off against either the Dallas Mavericks or the Minnesota Timberwolves (the Mavs lead 1-0).

Brown is only in his eighth season, but this is his sixth time playing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
