2765774, Game 1 almost was, Game 2 just saw Smart brand it the Smart Game

While it COULD happen given how he's been enabled this year, gotta imagine Spo and squad accept Smart is back on the court and hasn't lost a step so they have to account for his presence on the floor. Plus even Horford at 75% has been there done that and won't let his floormates slouch over a little half court press.


While this game was nearly a Suns-level shocker, I do think a Jimmy led team is prone to getting cocky as well (see: bubble Finals) and thinking they'll just make it work. I'm rooting Celtics ultimately, but I have to assume Spo and his staff are gonna remind these guys how gassed they felt going into those Finals before falling 3-1 to the Lakers. The Heat are basically a team without a window that've found their way to this position twice in three years, they're not gonna lie down on all_stah's watch.
