Marcus Smart is the heart and soul of the Boston Celtics – a bulldog with no back down ready to go toe-to-toe with the reigning MVP of the league and a dude that has 8 inches and 20 pounds on him. Side note: HE ONLY HAS 20 POUNDS ON SMART, what a bitch. It seems like any time Marus gets matched up with a Superstar he gets in their head and agitates the shit out of ’em and causes them to make mistakes. It’s inevitable. They let Marcus live rent-free in their heads. Beautiful.
Last night Marcus and Giannis got locked up and hit the floor during the 4th quarter in a game where the Celtics had come back from down 19 points to take a 10 point lead. The Bucks were starting to cut into the deficit and Smart just mentally locked up the arguably best player in the league. Giannis was CLEARLY frustrated that the Celtics had been able to contain him all night (he finished with an impressive 22pts 15reb on the night, but was held as in-check as they could).
Marcus Smart gives zero fucks about your MVP award, Giannis. He had one of the best games I’ve seen him have in a Celtics game, single-handedly making sure the game didn’t get out of hand in the 2nd quarter with his 8 points and timely three-pointers. He finished up with 19pt 4reb 6ast and one LOUD steal.
