Why the Celtics will miss their ‘Draymond Green’ in the playoffs | The Jump

Published

on

Jorge Sedano, Stan Van Gundy, Amin Elhassan and Richard Jefferson of The Jump react to comments made by Kyrie Irving about the Boston Celtics’ drama during the 2018-19 NBA season, what their chemistry issues mean for the 2019 NBA playoffs, and how the injury to Marcus Smart — aka their Draymond Green — will hurt them as they prepare to face the Indiana Pacers and potentially more.

    Marcus Smart is their Draymond Green ?…don’t disrespect draymond. Marcus Smart is ass. Gets hit by air (flopper). Fights and gets punked.

    Rozier isn’t filling in for Marcus Smart lol It is going to be Brown or Hayward. I would probably even put Morris ahead of Rozier. I know he had a slump recently but he played solid nearly all year.

      Morris already starts, i definitely think Brown should start at the 2. he’s played really well recently

      +Profound Sound yeah I know I’m just saying if they rework the lineup rozier is the last of them I would start. Everyone else deserves it more. He’s played terrible this year. I would do brown as well. Hayward would be a close 2nd though. He has also played well but we need a solid bench starter and he has been doing well there. Why change it.

    Marcus Smart: What a tough minded versatile unselfish glue-guy, and he is clutch when they need it.

    I’m a Celtics fan, in my opinion Kyrie NEEDS to go, he’s to much of a problem for the team

    celtics are going to struggle on this one, pacers in 6.

    We have people saying tingless, all star less bench player should be ashamed to be compared to a 3 time champion starter. Can Smart even be on a top ten list of a award? Also if Draumond is so overrated, why are people complaining that the team has FIVE all stars? Y’all weird

    We need to get RJ on First Take and replace Ryan Hollins. He actually knows what he’s doing doesn’t seem to try to be somebody he’s not

  11. Phong Dao

    April 11, 2019 at 11:30 pm

    Rozier will not start, he’s a better backup for Kyrie and Jaylen Brown will start…..makes more sense.

    Marcus Smart is way more talented than Draymond. All Draymond does is stand at the 3 point line and wait for his super star shooters to get open and pass them the ball. Whoopie doo. Then he screams like he is tough around the court. Ok.

    Keep hating on Boston hope they show the east what they’re all about

    but… but… but how am I supposed to blame lebron for the _celtics_ chemisty issues regarding davis? lebron is to blame for everything, right? _right?_

    Marcus Smart > Donkey

    Jaylen Brown. Hayward and Marcus Morris better. Celtics are so much better without him

    Disrespectful to Marcus Smart..

    Boston’s problem is all their young talent have issues accepting their roles.

    Brown is going to step up. Just watch

    Van gundy looks like he’s choking on fat

    Without Draymond Green the Warriors would have 3 rings.

  25. Devin Bardot

    Funny that Tatum has been all the hype of their young core and Smart is the one they can’t do without. And this point has merit?
