This game was originally in the afternoon before the Grizzlies injuries, right?

6p start. Interesting.

I've never seen an injury report like what Memphis is putting out there. This is going to be a very weird game, with the Cs in a weird spot. If they do anything other than win by 40, it's going to freak people out, and no matter who you are or what you're playing, "blowout or lose" is a sucky spot to be in mentally. It feels no-win. Good test.

Morant, Bane, JJJ, Clarke, Zaire, Oladipo (and Smart) all out for the Grizz

This game can't come soon enough because my god the sports on TV right now are brutal.

As a society, we should not allow such a dry spell to happen.

Hoping to see a more focused version of the Celtics tonight. At this point it seems clear they are in something of a funk. Dog days of the season, I know, but lately even the wins have felt like grinders.

Poor kids wearing JB jerseys, parents paying the big bucks, and he's not gonna play.

SEC foes GG Jackson and Walsh are the team's representatives to talk to the refs before game time.

I know we have plenty of overt and secret Smart haters but for him to say this just underscores why those of us who loved him - and didn't undervalue him because of his offense - did so.

Marcus is a class act and a hell of a competitor.

Tonight John Konchar gets his audition!
Truth

Just showed some footage of him hugging every team employee (that were present) in the tunnel.

That video is just a reminder how hard Smart played all his minutes. No regard for his own health. A ton of fun to watch play.

That was awesome

Harden and Embiid plays were obviously included

the sign from the little fan aboutbeing a Celtics fan and Marcus has their heart was awesome

Were there really Marcus haters? Recognizing that he wasn't a great shooter doesn't mean you couldn't love the effort and D.

Absolutely. I can name them but won't. A good tell is if he gets mentioned when discussing the performance of other Celtics. Its fine - people are entitled to their opinions.

He's been running a McSmartyism campaign around here for years.

A list of 57 card-carrying Smart detractors on SoSH has secretly been identified.
