It didn’t take Marcus Smart’s postgame outburst to confirm the Boston Celtics are performing nothing like we expected from them but perhaps it’s good to know there’s some aggression somewhere on that team.
The Miami Heat have turned what was thought to be a poised, mature bunch into a group that second-guesses itself on the floor and apparently, challenges itself off it for the world to hear.
Another double-digit lead was blown in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals quicker than you can say “Los Angeles Clippers,” and what’s worse, they looked every bit of tentative for the entire second half as the Heat took a 2-0 lead — with Smart’s frustration boiling over on the way to the locker room.
