    No one gave it to him. He grabbed the rebound with 5 seconds left. No time to pass it.

    Cavs better be careful. The Pacers are 2.5 games back of the division lead and the 9th seed is "only" 4.5 games back of the Cavs. I'm sure they'll figure it out or make a trade that sparks them, but the way they're playing...

    He had Rozier wide open for the pass in front of him. Rozier who just scored 5 straight points off clutch shots..
    but Smart the worse shooter on the Celtics by far decides he's going to win it for them lol

    I told y'all! The black men be trying to keep da white man down in da NBA. We need the Rooney Rule or Affirmative action to help a young and up coming white guy in the NBA or they just ain't going to make it. They will become extinct. We don't need to have 8 white guys on a team like the Boston Celtics used to, but come on, there needs to be a law where their is at least one token white guy on each team. Kind of like one player from each team makes the MLB All-Star.

    Did you know Scott Copper is a 2 times ALL STAR? WHO. That's right. Affirmative action

    Rozier was never WIDE open for a shot. Smart had an opening for the pass to Rozier as soon as he got the rebound and then a small opening with about 2 seconds left on the clock. To me, Smart's shot was better than a would-be attempt from Rozier.

    That's why I said wide open for a pass. Rozier was ahead of the play and just hit 2 very difficult shots and he would've had more time to create a shot.

    Agreed. I just hate that the NBA does not seem to care about flops. It is clear what he is doing but refs are giving him the call every time.

    I was soo happy he was the one that missed the gamewinner. He really is turning into one of my most hatred players.

    Agreed it was a bad play from him. Unless you are the main scoring option you should Always pass to a player in front of you in such a situation (and even if you are the main scoring option you should probably pass the ball). Especially if you are not a good offensive player.
