Sometimes when you see a guy helping beat the team that knocked you out of the playoffs you gotta double down on your "PJ didn't help us win a title" takes.


People have a hard time letting go of their takes. And it’s hard to watch a former player you could have kept make a difference for a rival

Amazing how mortal n very beatable the celts are when they dont shoot upwards of 45% from 3.To bad the bucks couldnt figure that out even though they had 7 games

Smart is such an insufferable POS. Cannot stand him and his style of play.

Are people just noticing this stuff now from Marcus Smart? I would love to see a boxing match of Smart vs. Lowry. Neither one would actually have to make contact with each other but both of them would be constantly on the ground flailing. The league needs to do something about these shenanigans.

It's probably new to a lot of people since it's on a much bigger stage now.

Is he emotionally mature enough for that gig? Me no think so. How funny would that be though? ‘Losing Time’, AMIRITE??!?!

I am tired of the defensive strategy of poke your face out with your arms back so part of the shooter's arm contacts your face. Can't believe the NBA allows this.

The flopping without being touched is ridiculous too. Sad thing is, he is actually a good defender when he plays legit.

he should have gotten **** canned this past season

I don't hate on Smart so much as I hate the NBA for allowing it and nerfing every other way to play defense so now try hards actually take pride in flopping.

as time has passed, i have moved from wanting the celtics to win it all to validate how good we are to wanting nothing more than to see them absolutely crumble. Miami won't beat Golden State anyway.

The only thing I hate more are Bucks fans who think signing PJ would have resulted in a title this year.


I also hate definitive takes based on nothing

ooh, the self-hate is oozing off of you.

GSW is pretty easy choice to root for giving how annoying every other team is, plus they have 2 Milwaukee guys.

People keep thinking last years version of PJ is on the Heat too. He looks rejuvenated down in Miami.

It's something I think I will always struggle to get over is how badly we shot and how we continually just gave up great looks over and over again.

Bud sleeps like a baby. Instead of counting sheep, he counts opposing players shooting wide open 3's.

* I love watching the celtics shimmy after made shots down 20

* Smart gets Carried off the court 1x per game just for the hero welcome (see someone mentioned this and ref Paul Pierce)

*Miami stays home on shooters and still wins --- amazing

Every time I watch DAL it’s just a non-stop parade of clanked 3s. How did they make it to the conf finals?

Hopefully the PJ Tucker fiasco is a learning moment for the franchise.
