With a long NBA season sometimes players need to use motivational tactics and rest days to try and get through the grueling hall.
Evidently, the players and coaches aren't the only ones who need to switch things up sometimes, even the TV has to have a little fun once in a while.
The CSN station that broadcasts Celtics games gave Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart some new interesting tidbits on their banner during interviews.
Under Kyrie Irving's name, it says “Very much woke” and under Marcus Smart's, it says “Leads NBA in combat muscles and grit…google it.”
When you google it there aren't really many interesting results that give a more clear picture of what exactly Marcus Smart is leading the NBA in.
Smart hasn't had eye-popping stats this year and is returning from a self-inflicted hand injury, but he is arguably the heart and soul of the Celtics, especially on the defensive end. He isn't afraid to dive on the floor, flop, take a charge, and do all the dirty work. The Celtics recent struggles prior to the All-Star break happened when Smart was sitting out due to injury. Even though he doesn't put up a ton of stats, he is the glue guy on the defensive end, and most of the other guys play off his momentum on that side of the floor.
On the season, Smart is averaging 30 minutes per game putting up 10.1 points, 4.7 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game. If the Celtics want to finally get back past the Cleveland Cavaliers, he is going to be a key in that quest.
