celtics are obviously gonna lose the series

but yeah its normal to get emotional and yell at people after your team throws a game away
This is one of those stories where if Celtics rally back they'll give this scene credit for it and hail Marcus Smart as a hero. And if they end up losing the next two games they'll try and paint him as disruptive and say he needs to go. Media always need some way to spin up a narrative even for basic ass interactions.

Dude who reported this is their beat writer. A black man who has been in journalism for a couple decades. He wasn't the only one who said this was happening and Coach Stevens confirmed that several athletes were emotional/pissed after the loss. Perhaps the behavior was so uncharacteristic of the Celtics since he started covering them to where he felt the team was imploding.

After all, today's journalism is about clicks. It may be about the truth too, but it's definitely about clicks.
Oh I didn't know he was black. That makes the shoddy troll reporting OK then. My bad.

Jayson Tatum is not that guy :mjlol:

He’s just a good player..

I think Kemba is the best player on that team
Jayson Tatum is averaging 23, 7, and 3 while playing on a team with two other guys averaging over 20 points a game (Brown and Walker).

Jayson is also just 22 years old nowhere near his prime and should actually be a senior in college right now.

Jayson is a good playoff run or two away from being a superstar and he's definitely better than just a "good player."

Kemba isn't anywhere near the talent or player Tatum is. Kemba can score though.

Outside of Luka, I'd take Tatum over any other of these young bucks right now.

See...

So what?

Maybe this is the best he will ever be? nikkas love to project because he’s 22.

I don’t see him ever being a dominant transcendent force and being the best player in the league.

This happens when you blow a lead in a pickup game at LA Fitness, so I'd say hell yes, giving away a Playoff game like the Celtics did could cause some friction after the game is over.
:dead: You ever played sports?

hold up brehs you making too much sense :whoa:

smart definitely should've just shrugged off his team falling apart in the third quarter :manny:

guess it just wasn't our night. oh well its just a game anyway:manny:

All you can ever go on is a player's trajectory, he's gotten better each year he's been in the league. This is his third year. He's already in the conversation of very good right now (fringe superstar imo), but he's looked timid and passive at times in this series and a little in the last one too.

He may or may not be ready to take that next step right now, I guess we'll see in the next few games but he's 22 years old and based on what he's done he's definitely going to get better barring injuries.

The only question is how high is his ceiling. He can be anything between a poor man's Kobe on the higher end of the spectrum to a Paul George type guy on the lower end of the spectrum.

The jury is still out on that, but he'll be a perennial All NBA guy and All Star based on what I've seen so far.
