We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from New York.
J.R. Smith thinks the New York Knicks would have swept the Boston Celtics if he had played in Game 4 of their first-round series.
“Oh yeah, it would’ve been over,” Smith said after Tuesday’s practice. “I’d have been playing golf today.”
The NBA suspended Smith for Game 4 after the Sixth Man Award winner threw an elbow atJason Terry‘s chin late in Game 3.
Smith watched on television Sunday as the Celtics defeated the Knicks 97-90 in overtime to avoid elimination and extend the series. Terry scored nine points in overtime.
Asked about Terry on Tuesday, Smith said, “Who? I don’t even know who that is.”
The Celtics do their fair share of trash talking, but the Knicks are really pushing it.
First, Keynon Martin told his teammates to prepare for a funeral. And now, JR Smith is yapping about a sweep and ignoring Jason Terry.
Why would they want to say anything that could inspire the Celtics?
Just a friendly reminder to the Knicks and their fans. You haven’t won a playoff series in 13 years.
