Marcus Smart Heard Yelling At Teammates Following Game 2 Loss 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Sep 18, 2020 5:14 am

Marcus Smart reportedly yelled at his teammates in the locker room following the Boston Celtics' 106-101 loss to the Miami Heat in game 2, according to Malika Andrews of ESPN.


The Celtics, who blew their second straight lead in the second half, are now down 2-0 in the series.


"Y'all on some bulls---," Smart yelled while leaving the locker room. Several other teammates were also reportedly heard yelling following the game.


Smart did not talk to reporters after the game.


Brad Stevens, Kemba Walker, and Jayson Tatum all downplayed the situation, chalking it up to the emotion of the loss.


"It really just, a lot of emotions just flying around. Obviously we feel like we could have won, we should have won, but we didn't. So just a lot of emotions flying around. That's it," said Jaylen Brown. 


The Celtics were outscored 37-17 in the third quarter.


Walker added that the Celtics were simply outplayed during the third. 


"Man, they outplayed us. They outplayed us. It's really unacceptable on our behalf. It was just a really bad quarter for us. We didn't continue to do the things that we did to get us up and get us that lead. I think we got kind of comfortable and those guys, they took great advantage of it. They played hard. They played really hard. They played a lot harder than us. They wanted it."

Weird... I thought Kyrie Irving being gone was suppose to improve the locker room?
