Marcus Smart was 0-for-7 from the field.
0-for-3 from 3.
3 turnovers.
And a plus-15.
Oh, and the Celtics’ offense was 11 points better per 100 possessions with him on-court.
Hey, so...
This is my last week at CBS Sports.
I begin with my new site on January 1. You can learn more about that at 11 a.m. ET, right here. For now, I need to share with you what the last SEVEN. SEVEN FRIGGIN' YEARS has meant to me.
Pelicans are actually 1-point favorites vs. the Blazers, Rondo, Mirotic questionable, no injuries on Portland’s side. 72% of bets, 82% of money on Portland.
I am wary of both sides of this.
But here’s an important additional note. The Sixers starters (Simmons-Redick-Saric-Covington-Embiid) are at 112 offense, 89.8 defense (!!!!) and a +22 Net.
They VANQUISH.
