Celtics (21-21) at Grizzlies (19-20) Game #43 3/22/21

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Robert Williams completely changed the complexion of this game. It was headed for blow out territory and his presence changed things. Teams are going to start fouling him. Good time to work on those free throws.

I hate this team this year.

They seem to hate themselves....

[radiohead]

I feel for Timelord, Teague, and Jaylen. They played their asses off tonight. Smart just decided to win this game by himself. That last three was really infuriating. That deflated the whole team’s morale I think.

[footey]

Game over.

Back to the trade rumors.

[Silas]

Hate is a terrible word.

[Walker Wiggle]

Frustrating game for sure, but you’re talking about a second game of a back-to-back on the road without Tatum, Kemba, and Thompson (the latter would have been useful in the paint tonight).

[Goldstar88]

Well, Smart helped the C’s make it to OT, but then costs them the game in OT. Brad, it’s very simple... Just tell Marcus that he isn’t allowed to shoot in the 4th. He’s a good passer, just needs to stop shooting. Cap him at 6-8 FG attempt a game and you're good.

Smart never learns .....

And he wont ... under Brad

Danny should trade him for Collins

I said it a few pages back but this is one of the few times I actually don’t mind the team quitting. There’s nothing more demoralizing than playing with somebody who think they’re better than they are taking all of the shots in crunch time.

If I was Jaylen I’d be chewing out Smart right now.

Get Huerter too.

Terrible FT shooting 15-24!

I actually thought Smart played a good game overall, but he’s clearly still working himself back into shape after that long layoff. Looks slightly heavy.

Just pray Atlanta is dumb enough to do it

[Tr1boy]

If Marcus Smart is a card. He would be joker

How can one guy be a hero and zero at the same time?

Its like internal sabotage mechanism. Inescapable

[Celtics Mike]

As has been said Marcus Smart chucking 3s in OT cost us this game
