Why do you need another Marcus Smart when you have someone already better than him? *cough *White I mean Smart is overrated guys, come on. Dude can't shoot and overrated defensively. Got torched by GS and Miami guards. Time for a change.
Class guy. Easy to root for. Go Celtics and D White!
I can't get my head round what's just gone on loosing smart. He's the heart and leader of the celtics they are going to be lost without him. This is the worst thing Brad could have done. Porzingis doesn't make up for what we have lost
What's wrong with his face?
I like Marcus Smart… but the Celtics fans and Celtics Media acting like they traded Micheal Jordon SMH
As much as it crushed me to lose Smart, and he no doubt was the heart/soul of our team….I'm genuinely excited for White this year to have a fortified role at PG. We were def super guard heavy last year and I kept thinking last year during the playoffs we need more minutes for Pritchard/Hauser, and now they'll get more opportunities too. KP coming in is gonna give a whole new dynamic to our offense, a lot of our scoring as always come from our guards, with KP he can put up 20 a night easy in this offense. Not to mention the elite assistants they hired, I think we're gonna have a fun year peeps! 😀
Celtics is the worst team in the league now smh.
Ummm, for some reason I can’t get through Derrick White interviews.
Great commentary. Love Derrick and Chris.
Love Marcus Smart. Always made me cringe when he took 3 point shots though. Hes good in the PG position when he's playing like an actually PG, racking up assist and looking for the open man. He indeed was the heart and soul of the Celtics but someone will step in to that spot eventually. He will be missed on the defensive end mostly. That guy is tough as nails. I don't know much about KP. I like his numbers though. We'll see how this thing pans out.
Marcus Smart was not only a great player but also a great person….can we relax? Lol it’s not like we don’t have 2 ALL NBA players still. We have not won since 2008! Brad did what he had to do, we will still be top in the East
Enough with smart already it seems like the Celtics lost bird or Russell.He’s an average player that flops half the time .
Looking forward to Derrick having another big season. Great interview with a great guy, thanks.
Love D White. Probably my fav Celtic now that Smart is gone
Great pod!
Stoked on D White and Pritchard getting more time to shine
His Birthday is this Sunday
A real Celtics fan respects someone like smart, for the same reason we respect Paul Peirce, drafted here, went through the grind and played tough, all this chirping in the comments mean nothing, he was traded. Love the shit outta smart, as much as I love this team, stop talking trash and let his legacy live.
Buffalooooo. Im glad your still here.
DJ was better
