Can they improve on Smart in the off season? He is a role-player who tries to play above his talent level with tragicomic results. The option are basically Malcolm Brogdon, Mike Conley or Ricky Rubio-though last I read he wants to stay withe Cavs. Does not look good, but with White here, there must be a good part-time option out there.I’m not sure you can have a worst final minute of play an in NBA game than Marcus Smart did tonight
Celtics were up 105-102 with the ball and would go on to have 4 more possessions
1) Marcus smart turnover with 49 seconds left off the Giannis steal.
2) Tatum free throws
3) Marcus smart blocked by holiday on a layup
4) Marcus smart turnover on holiday steal
End of game. Marcus Smarts 3 turnovers in 49 seconds resulted in 5 points for Milwaukee.
This was hideous
Been telling you guys about Smart for years. Thought he may have turned the corner this year, just to implode in the biggest momentCan they improve on Smart in the off season?

I agree, getting past Giannis was going to be the most difficult hurdle. Still upset this morning about the loss....may sting for a long time unless there is banner 18 in the next few years.Just in this series, they are a better team without Rob Williams on the floor. He's being hunted by Giannis on defense and he clogs up the paint and can't shoot on offense. 98 points in the paint in the 2 games without him and 76 in 3 games with him, Bucks can't just camp the paint like they have when RW is out there if everyone on the floor can shoot and they would be 2-0 if they didn't play like the 2021 celtics in the 4th quarter. Unless they win the next 2 that loss is going to sting just as bad as game 7 against the Blues, as besides Milwaukee i like how they matchup against the rest of the teams still in the playoffs.
Game 5 in the second of a basketball game vs a game 7 at home for a championship is equaling stinging for you?Just in this series, they are a better team without Rob Williams on the floor.

Me too, I have taken a lot of deep breaths this morning.....lolThey're not done. I don't care how bad that loss was last night. Ime and the group take that on the chin. They know they squandered an opportunity. They're mad at themselves. You should fully expect them to win the next game. And that's what I'm doing.

Aren't they kinda proving they never really had a real shot at the titleHard to gag away a real shot at a title by losing Game 5 in the second round, so kudos to the Celtics for doing something something impossible difficult.

Probably did take it too far comparing a game 7 of a cup final to a 2nd round series but the nba and nhl are two different leagues for what you can consider a championship contender. I could also at least console myself that for most of the last 14 seasons the Bruins had the chance to go on deep playoff runs, won the cup in 2011 and even after 2019 thought they still had a run or two in them.Game 5 in the second of a basketball game vs a game 7 at home for a championship is equaling stinging for you?
You are obvious a much bigger C's fan than a Bruin one.
Smart just was extended in the off season and is the defacto PG, none of those you mentioned are coming here Conley seems to like Utah and that duo with MitchellCan they improve on Smart in the off season?

Conley may like Utah but do they like him now? Eh Brogdon is definitely available and probably cheap. Rubio is Rubio........

you don't know the way this roster is constructed, what exactly has any of Conley, Brogdon or Rubio won since entering the league..... Brogdon got replaced by the Bucks by the guy who shut the door defensively last nightConley may like Utah but do they like him now? Eh Brogdon is definitely available and probably cheap. Rubio is Rubio........ You should read more.
