Marcus Smart has been the heart and soul of the Boston Celtics this year, and such raw emotion from Smart after a 2^nd consecutive loss in the ECF is very much understood.

Are the Boston Celtics done?

Miami is most definitely in the driver’s seat right now, as they have forced the Celtics to blow a 14 point lead in Game 1 and a 17 point lead in Game 2.

When asked about their comeback, Jimmy Butler said he loves being the comeback kid.

“We like to make it hard on ourselves. We like being down double digits and being the comeback kids.”
