This is a great example.  If Jaylen Brown had been out for the past month with an injury, you can be damn well sure that the Celtics media would be asking him, his agent, his personal trainer, the team front office, random doctors at Mass General, etc. about the nature of the injury and when/if we would be returning to play.

If there were some "whispers" about Brown not wanting to come back it wouldn't messaged about in hushed tones in private threads on message boards. It'd be a story in the Globe or Herald or one of the sports radio stations.

I'm not asking reporters to artificially gin up drama.  I'm wondering why they seem to refrain from reporting facts that have direct impact on the performance of the team.

And it seems that they KNOW these facts and choose to suppress them.  Again, everyone on this board talked about the issues with last year's team  The player reaction's to Benny's suspensions.  The behavior problems with Copeland.  Etc.  I have zero doubt that the folks covering the team across print, online, TV and radio know all about those issues, likely in great detail.  Yet, was there a single report about them? Issues that, by all accounts here, actively harmed the performance of the team.

It's just so weird to me all the cloak and dagger stuff that surrounds a college program.
