The ball itself never crossed half, so when CJ went back to get it, I guess the timer was still going

I admit I don't know the exact rule but I assumed once the offensive player stepped into the front court that was enough.

I think the new rule is you have to be in front court BEFORE the number hits 16.

W-was that a good timeout by Brad?

The whole team is suddenly playing with a Smart-like ferocity

If only we could unlock Smart's Ron Artest mode without also unlocking Smart's KOBE shot selection mode haha.

He taketh and he giveth.

Smart won’t pass to Brown. What a dick.

Horford needs to stop the jump shot crap and post up.

Killing us.

Man when this Celtics team learns to take a lead and keep it, watch out NBA. Any day now...

Both feet and the ball need to cross -- imagine there's no defender and he's got a foot still in the backcourt -- that's a violation.

Just give the ball to Jaylen and let him work. He can create his shot or get to the rim. Preferably get to the rim which he is a beast at. Look to him every time please.

These Smart 3 pointers with 20 seconds on the clock are horrible

Should've milked Brown's advantage in the post some more.

Our guys got tired in those final possessions. But they're FIGHTING!! AND NOT EACH OTHER!

Yeah, hopefully he backs it up by getting Morris out the game and Tatum+Kyrie back in.

lol Hayward has a +13 in the box score. It's hilarious how so many of you hate on Hayward for not filling up the box score when he's literally being frozen out by his teammates. When he's out there at least he makes the right play and isn't a complete **** like Brown and Rozier.

Stop this.

He’s a max player who’s playing like a scrub. The honeymoon is over for him.

You are a dumb ass. He is not playing like a scrub. Christ I am surprised if he wants to stay the way he is being treated.

He is accepting a "role" that I am quite sure he doesn't want.

On offense he just got 2 offensive boards and they still won't pass him the ball for a corner 3

Smart exhausted, which compounds his bad decision to shoot that three. He REALLY expended a lot of energy during that incredible sequence to start the quarter.

That sentiment speaks more to chemistry issues and team interpersonal issues opposed to on court play.

Bad decisions with ball handling sure, but there's no denying his game has been fine.

Hey, Jaylen Brown's been hot this quarter, give him the friggin ball

That was a good timeout, the players were all going 120 mph that whole run, need a breather. Get Tatum in for Morris though, Brad.
