Your Morning Dump...Where the Celtics get lulled into James Harden's booby trap

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

Marcus Smart stood in front of his locker in the Toyota Center’s visiting locker room, half undressed, ranting about the officiating…

“I think Russ and James shot 31 between the two and our team only shot 25,” Smart said after he had calmed down some. “That’s a big discrepancy.”

It certainly is. In a game Boston lost by 11, they were outscored by 17 at the free throw line.
