Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart didn't exactly seem all that upset about his ejection during Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

After getting knocked to the floor by Sixers star Joel Embiid, Smart decided that he would go over and give him a huge shove.

Naturally, that resulted in him getting thrown out of the game, which forced him to have to head back to the locker room.

However, on his way to the back, Smart chose to taunt the Philly crowd in a way that will certainly only add even more fuel to the rivalry between the two Eastern Conference title contenders.

Retaliating in that manner just wasn't a good idea by Smart no matter how upset he was about Embiid's actions, especially considering that the Celtics held a double-digit lead at that point.

It's a game that Boston would love to win as it tries to continue its ascent up the standings in the East, with Brad Stevens' group entering the game at 43-28 overall on the season.

After this one, the Celtics will hit the road once again to take on the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.

They'll return to Boston on Sunday for a showdown with the San Antonio Spurs.
