Marcus Smart Opens Up About Finals Loss to Warriors

  • by

After battling their way through the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Boston Celtics were overmatched in the NBA Finals by Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. In a recent interview with CLNS Media, Celtics guard Marcus Smart opened up about the tough loss.

“We have to take the lesson the hard way. We learned a lot out of our experience and unfortunately we had to lose to do that, but we now know what it takes to play, to be there, the stress it takes on you, mentally, physically, emotionally,” Smart said. “You kind of figure when and when not to be too excited about it, how to play it and how to keep yourself calm. It was a lot of factors that we’ve learned individually and as a group from this… it’s tough to have to learn the hard way… it’s still fresh for us, so guys are really just trying to wait, but once we do start talking, we’ll get that out there, but right now we’re just giving ourselves a break.”
