“Let’s think about it,” Smart said. “As a guard, especially on the team that switches a lot, especially on the No. 1 defensive team, you are worried about every single player. And here’s the thing: When you see Defensive Player of the Year, that means he can guard all five spots. “Nothing against Rudy, but Rudy can’t guard all five spots. I can guard all five spots and I have been doing it. I’ve done it very well.”

Marcus Smart was just ejected with 10.8 seconds to go. Appeared Smart was none too pleased with a few calls that went against the Celtics late.
He went around and shook every player’s hand on the court (on both teams), and recognized both benches, before walking off. – 10:08 PM

One of the unique skillsets Marcus Smart and Rob Williams have is their blend of hand-eye coordination & one-touch control of the ball. They’ll get an amazing quickfire deflection & then grab it and fire off a pass without having to get a grip on the ball. They’re wild with it. – 8:13 PM

More on this storyline
It’s no surprise this guy and this guy had so much to say, especially with the backdrop of hard-fought competition. The best lines, as best as I could hear them: Green: “You joke too much.” Green after about a minute of talking: “There’s nothing to talk about, Jae.” Green (a Saginaw, Mich., native) to Crowder (who grew up near Atlanta): “You’re not like that. You from Buckhead, Jae. You from Buckhead. You from a nice neighborhood. It’s not like that.” -via NBC Sports / March 31, 2022
“I’m cool with Lance doing all his extra stuff. He’s an irritant. Just don’t throw me out for trying to get him off of me. Especially when I didn’t even hit him or really try to.” Austin Rivers responded to Tony Brothers ejecting him for the elbow fake to Lance Stephenson on IG. -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 31, 2022
But the 26-year-old Canadian guard/forward still doesn’t like the three-time NBA champion, and he made it very clear after the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Warriors 123-95 at FedExForum on Monday night. “We all had the vision,” Brooks told reporters in Memphis after the game. “He didn’t, which is perfect. Send him back to the Warriors and let him do his thing over there.” -via BasketNews / March 29, 2022
