BOSTON, MA -- Jaylen Brown spoke to the media during Celtics practice media availability on Friday.

Quotes from Brown:

"I've noticed in the last couple of games, my body hasn't recovered the same ... I know I just turned 25, this can't be what it's like on the other side ... I'm breathing fine, but I'm just not recovering the way I like." ... "I didn't really need an inhaler ... I usually go through a (recovery) routine and it works ... I haven't felt like Jaylen out there every game."

Jaylen on Udoka's critique of him: "I didn't see (mind-boggling) comment ... it didn't bother me, it's mind-boggling to me too ... I think that was obvious, I don't think he was out of line."

Brown on Udoka's honesty: "I think Brad was honest. I don't think that Brad was not honest ... I think Brad probably took the blame on a lot of issues, because that's the kind of coach he is ... it's just different coaching styles I guess...."We have a good understanding of each other ... issues can get resolved a lot easier that way by communicating with each other rather than by hearing about it in the media ... we'll be fine."
