Never expected this loser mentality from Smart…
Marcus Smart apparently said this to the Miami Heat last night:
“We beat y’all last year. We good. Stop talking the whole f*cking game.”

This dude supposed to be the heart and soul of this team smh
Think this team needs a new heart and soul
I can’t imagine this is what he actually said because it literally goes against everything Marcus Smart. This is Marcus Dumb, a quitter version of Marcus Smart that I don’t think any of us knew existed.
Also that thrown elbow at caleb martin by smart was totally bush league. Dude is so washed
Incredibly pathetic. Cool, you beat them last year, then didn’t win the finals. Now, at this very moment, you’re getting the brakes beat off you, about to be down 3-0, probably gonna get swept, and you want to drop this?
What’s he gonna say? He’s probably embarrassed just like the rest of us. You say stupid shit when you’re in the middle of it, whatever it is.
I miss the Smart from the IT days. That was an actual dawg.
Team needs a cultural reset.
Everyone gets frustrated and says stupid shit. Trash talk is a part of the game man, shit happens move on.
Dude has always thought of himself as something he’s not. He damn sure has fooled 90% of Celtics fans tho
Honestly he’s frustrated like all of us. We all saying stupid shit in the sub
That right there shows they’ve accepted their season is ending and don’t care.
This is how you know he needs to go. This dude no longer has the heart and soul if you’re saying shit like this. We need a reset. This style of basketball is exhausting, forced Stevens out.
Brad is about to have a busy summer once again.
He got a DPOY and now he thinks he’s king shit.
Symptomatic of this teams culture. They think they’re great and can walk over opponents. Silver lining to this performance is that maybe this finally humbles them, because the narrative on them has completely flipped on a national level.
Trade his ass for a bag of skittles. this is a garbage take
Oh my. If that actually happened that is extremely embarrassing and it explains why this season’s team is so mentally weak. This season was a failure from Wyc and Brad on down.
I hate when this fanbase piles on Marcus Smart and blames him for the team’s issues. Was this a dumb thing of him to say? Sure. But he was clearly hot/frustrated by a lot of things last night, and in general he looks like the only person on the roster that wants to win / is truly bothered by losing. He is the 5th highest-paid player on the roster and has outplayed most of the top-4 for this postseason run (he’s definitely outplayed Brown, Horford, and Brogdon).
It’s just frustrating when our fans focus the blame on Mazzulla and Smart – when Tatum and Brown are fucking up left, right, and center. It’s literally impossible to be a contender in the NBA with a star player who’s shot is as inconsistent/unreliable as Tatum, but so many Celtics fans will avoid ever scrutinizing him. It’s a soft, coddling approach by our fanbase and as a result we have to root for soft players.
I don’t think Smart and Mazzulla are blameless for these losses, but the amount of focus/hate they get relative to the more highly-paid guys is dumb. Imagine if you built a racecar that routinely comes up short and fails to ever win big races. Throughout all of these races there were stretches where the car was humming as good as any car on the track. But then there are stretches where the engine putters and takes a while to get going again. You guys are all talking about the windshield wipers and the tires, when there is a way way bigger issue staring us in the face (the engine – Tatum/Brown).
I think this needs more context tbh.
May next year’s playoff T shirts can read “We made the East Finals last year, we good.”
I just bought this dude’s jersey fuck my life 😭😭😭
The team peaked too early in the season…they were hanging on to a thread after the all Star game. It was written on a wall.
This is so fucking soft and pathetic. Marcus haters are eating right now.
This is stupid…. Butler probably talked shit the entire game. Smart just got triggered
I recall beating them by the skin of our teeth
Smart needs to be traded. He’s longest constant on this team. It’s been same whole time he’s been hear. We just need to hope Brogdon/White will flourish with more playing time.
This is sad.
He can’t be the starting PG on this team next year 9 years of him is enough
Wait, what’s wrong with this? This, to me comes off as “we beat y’all last year and we weren’t talking shit all game. Kind of like, “act like you’ve been here…” or am I wrong?
Last night was a slaughter, Boston needs to split up
When will they realize he’s been the problem all along
Cooked asf forreal smh proof this teams complacent asf
Does he mean we beat you last year so we will do it again despite being down 0-3. Or does he mean we beat you last year so I’m fine losing this year?
Damn bro gave up. I don’t care if you up 50 you gonna have to kill me
Please put an end to this horrible acid trip of a Playoffs
Easy to make it sound like him accepting a loss.
It’ can also be him trying to sike himeself up. “We beat you last year, we good…” and part two could be “we’ll do it again”.
It depends on what subtext you’ll apply to him next. You can easily assume it’s one or the other depending on your attitude.
LMAO people switch up so fast. If you said this about smart a week ago you’d get crucified in here. He’s been a problem for a while now.
How is that “loser mentality” exactly? He isn’t saying we’re not going to beat you this series. He’s just saying you’re up now. We beat you last year. Maybe close it out first?
It’s easy talk when you’re up
Some of you guys spiraling wanting to blow up the squad that got you this far just because of a series loss is amazing to watch.
By all means, I hope they get rid of every player and coach you want gone. I’d love to revisit how this team is doing around this time next year
Sports psychologist needs to enter the chat.
When did he have time to say anything? All I ever see is him flopping around, laying on the court, begging for fouls. Never liked this guy and am so sick of the way he plays, begging for them to get rid of him for years. He’s unskilled, used to at least be a hustle guy. Now he’s just a flopper, maybe try Premier League.
I don’t think he actually said that tbh
