When you get to the door of the promised land only to have it slammed in your face, it can be hard to let it go. And for Boston Celtics veteran point guard Marcus Smart, not letting it go can be an important part of getting back to the NBA Finals again this season with hopefully better results — but it can still be a painful thorn in one’s side in the meantime nonetheless.
In an interview with The Athletic NBA Insider Jared Weiss, the Flower Mound native admits that there are some nights that he can’t get to sleep, and ends up re-watching clips from the 2022 NBA Finals.
“My girlfriend’s like, ‘Get off, it’s over, let it go.’ I can’t. That’s the beauty of us competitors,” related Smart.
“The season-ending knee injury Danilo Gallinari suffered with Italy last month is a dagger,” writes Stein. https://t.co/5kMocvQrpu
