Marcus Smart Out Two Weeks After Fighting Hotel Decor

Brad Stevens disappointed in Marcus Smart Celtics to handle situation internally

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens declared of the Warriors, "They're a joke".

We've reached an embarrassing conclusion to the mystery surrounding Marcus Smart's cut-up hand.

And maybe doing something we seldom see Boston do this season - get to the free throw line. [Assistant general manager] Mike Zarren and [assistant athletic trainer] Brian Dolan were with him at the hospital two hours ago [when Smart] got stitches. But we want to make sure we're not putting (the Celtics) in the bonus early. "But, again, I think that he cut his hand in the hotel on glass sometime this afternoon".

Fortunately, this is the best defense in the league for many more reasons than just Smart.

They had four players - Stephen Curry, Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green - chosen to play in next month's NBA All-Star game, making them the first team in NBA history to have four players chosen for the all-star game in back-to-back seasons.

I personally think it would be a very significant mistake even though I don't think there's a justification. Booker claimed the USA was in "troubling times" and compared Trump to "foreign dictators".

Bennett and Niels Lesniewski of CQ-Roll Call; by Karoun Demirjian and Rosalind Helderman of The Washington Post; and by Frank E. Ty Cobb, a White House lawyer working on the response to the Russian Federation probe, declined comment Thursday night.

Smart, in his fourth season with the Celtics, is averaging 10.1 points and 4.7 assists per game for Boston this season.

On the other side, the Warriors have been dominant as usual.

It may or may not be instructive to note that the Celtics chose to include the term "non-basketball incident" in the first sentence of their press release on the matter yesterday. When Smart was at Oklahoma State he pushed and shoved a fan in a game at Texas Tech.

"I love y'all and I truly appreciate all the support". His defensive ability makes him worth a contract extension, but he can't keep acting up. While his teammates prepared for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors, Smart was apologizing to the organization and fans. They always defend as an overall unit, and missing one player does not destroy everything they are good at.

Unfortunately, Smart returned to Boston for tests on his hand and will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks, according to the team.
