Marcus Smart Game 1 Postgame Interview | Celtics vs Nets

Marcus Smart was interviewed after the loss to Brooklyn.When asked about his feelings on the loss and if he was discouraged, Smart said “I mean you definitely want to come in and then especially the playoffs and steal a road win…we got a lot to build on…we gotta move on. This game’s over, gotta tip you hat to those guys. They did what they were supposed to do. They took care of the home court right now and they got another chance to try it again.”
Smart didn’t mince words when it came to his mentality around the playoffs. “If you’re not going to bring it, you might as well stay at home,” Said Smart. “All you can do is control what you control. You go out there…you try to run into the best you can and you know we did pretty good. Obviously, we had a couple breakdowns. We’ll see them tomorrow, we’ll fix it. See what we have to do and come out and try to execute it again.”
Smart seemed far more encouraged than discouraged over Boston’s performance.
“I love our aggressiveness. We got to come out and be aggressive, you know? They’re going to come out here aggressive…”
