Marcus Smart.

I LOVE SMART

LOL I think Smart may have cheated just a wee bit on that jump.

Replay...yeah but a lot less than I'd thought. Little swipe with the off arm.

Isaiah Thomas is one of the best players in the NBA. Period.

But seriously.  How was that Toronto's ball?  The last person to touch it was Carroll and he threw it off the back of the backboard.

Absolutely wrong to give them that ball.

I think they stopped the game before he shot the ball

EDIT: I mean this would be the only explanation

I agree it seems to be the only explanation - however they blew the whistle far after the shot was released, and the call on the floor was that they were reviewing to see if it was a shot clock violation (which it was not).

The last person to touch the ball before it went OB was Carroll. Should have been an easy call.

Love the way Brad manages the end of games.

Me too!

He always seems to have more timeouts than the other team, and almost always seems to get great shots out of out of bounds plays.

IT has been that dude.

Pierce is my favorite ball player of all time, and one of my favorite things about his game was how absolutely cold blooded he was it late game situations.

Also, IT's season has been jaw dropping. His efficiency in the 4th quarter, with the amount of points he has scored is unreal. Not to mention he is 5'8".

And Marcus is ALWAYS in the right place, and just makes winning plays. He is like a 10 year veteran, and is 22.

I LOVE THIS TEAM.

The present is bright and the future is brighter.

What a classic underwhelming boxscore from Marcus.

Basically is the second most important player on the court at all times though..

[max215]

Why did creowder shoot?

Shot clock was at 6.

Was also a really good look.

[Vox_Populi]

I love Smart, man.

[positivitize]

SMart Wins Games.

[esel1000]

After blowing two double digit leads to them, this is just sweet

[hwangjini_1]

Looking good now.

If you have Marcus Smart and Isaiah Thomas you are never out of the game.

Absolute gamers.
