Brooklyn Nets wing Bruce Brown had a big game in his team's Play-In Tournament victory to clinch a playoff spot. Maybe he was still feeling that energy postgame when he commented on the Nets first round opponent the Boston Celtics. But teammate Kevin Durant wasn't having any of Brown's "caffeine pride".

When asked about the matchup with Boston, and the Celtics missing starting center Robert Williams, Brown said, "Them not having Robert Williams is huge. We can attack (Daniel) Theis and (Al) Horford in the paint."

Durant heard what Brown said and tried to calm his younger teammate down a bit.

"That's caffeine pride talking. Those dudes (Horford and Theis) can do the same things (as Williams)," said Durant. "We don't need to say (expletive) like that. Let's just go out there and hoop."
