Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was caught yelling some NSFW words to the referees after fouling out in the third quarter against the Miami Heat.

 

This past week, Smart was fined $15,000 for comments made after Boston's 119-112 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. During his post-game interview, Smart accused the referees of trying to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo in the game when he had five fouls for an extended time in the fourth quarter.

Nevertheless, the Celtics can't afford to have Smart face anymore disciplinary action from the league for his comments. Smart has certainly played an integral role for the Celtics this season, averaging a career-high 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 32.5 minutes. Furthermore, the 26-year-old is shooting an astonishing 38 percent from the field.

The Celtics are currently in a tight race with the Toronto Raptors for the second seed in the Eastern Conference, so every game matters in the regular-season “seeding” games.
