The Celtics’ season is over. Now would be a good time to provide some final thoughts on what went wrong (or maybe, what went right), but if we’re being TBQH with each other, I don’t really want to think about the Celtics right now. There will be no epitaph. No obituary. No eulogy. I have…

This video represents the collision of multiple things that I don’t really care for: -The Celtics (and their fans) -The Raptors (and their fans) -Marcus Smart (and his ability to play defense) -Jersey patches (they’re normalized for everybody BUT I STILL DON’T LIKE THEM) However, it also contains some thing that I’m pretty cool with:…

Celtics fans are surely in the deepest throes of euphoria after this dominating game-1 win over the Raptors. I’m not going to go to all those social media sites and verify this claim, but I don’t need to; any negative or even neutral reaction would be unfindable compared to the torrent of joyful posts. I…

Fans of NBA beefs (beeves???) will be happy to find out that there is some seriously beefed-out BEEFAGE going on right now between Marcus Smart and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Well, at least Smart is attempting to beef it up with Giannis. I’m not sure that Giannis is reciprocating the beef, and I’m not sure that he…

OFFICIAL REASONS WHY MARCUS SMART’S 29 POINTS DO NOT COUNT POWER RANKINGS: 1. Smart was 9-of-23 from the field and 6-of-15 from three (he was shooting too much is what I’m trying to say) 2.

The Celtics need to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror (or as Tommy Heinsohn would say… “in the showah”) after this loss to the Rockets. Marcus Smart is known for being a tenacious defender. So why is he being forced to take 22 shots, 15 of them threes? That’s just not…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 31 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2020)
31 points for Marcus Smart is a lot. If it wasn’t for his 37-point, 11-three outburst a month ago, this would be a career-high by far. But here’s the dirty little secret that the NBA doesn’t want you to know about this performance: It occurred in a double overtime game. As the kids say, that’s…

Attention Marcus Smart: only good three-point shooters are allowed to do the “shoot a corner three and turn around and stare at the opposing bench before it even goes in” move. Not average ones like yourself. Please don’t ever do it again. It worked out this time, luckily for him. What if he had missed?…
