Should have went full Vince Carter on his ass! Even if you get the offensive foul show some balls!

Langford had three options on that fastbreak, either pass it to Smart or Fournier for the easy dunk, or take it himself with KD rising up to meet him. Of course, he chose the worst one :nonono:

i was hoping they'd show a replay so we could see if he got fouled or not..

or maybe it was just a really weak a%% take by him in transition..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

That's why Celts will never come close to making the finals as long as Smart is on the team.

This team needs to watch every game of the 84-91 Celtics and really try to realize how poorly they pass compared to a team like that.
I don't believe in statistics. There are too many factors that can't be measured. You can't measure a ballplayer's heart. -Red Auerbach

Marcus Smart is an underrated shooter

Turnover was on Fournier. Open 5 feet from the basket on a 4-on-1, and he takes off for the 3-point line? Yikes lol.

On the plus side, hopefully we’ve already seen the last time that Kemba’s worn a Celtics jersey

Romeo just atrocious on the fast break there and we need Marcus to start making some of these open 3s.

Still a chance need a solid 10-2 10-0 run to inject some **** energy. That weak flail foul for kyrie did not get this quarter started right.

If the Lakers are out, then definitely want the nets and sixers to lose most next. But if the Lakers are still there and winning then unfortunately we need the nets to keep winning as I see them as the best team to beat the Lakers out of the bunch of remaining teams.

I think they need to do more purposeful passing to get better shots. I've only seen glimpses here and there, but I"ve seen a lot of rushed, early in the clock 3s.

Well the Celtics are going to at least get us to June 1st this year. That’s about 2 months until the draft

Not going to end well if you're asking Smart to make 3s.

Looked like a weak attempt to me. He should have passed it up. Then again, we've been watching this team blow multiple fast breaks all season...

Kyrie is just punking these bums. Fans don't even bother booing him anymore.
