Marcus Smart and Al Horford going at it on different teams
This genuinely hurts my soul in some weird fashion. They just don’t look right in those jerseys, ESPECIALLY those 2 teams

Makes me sick to my stomach especially seeing Mahcus Smaht 😭
Imagine seeing this picture 2 years ago. You would think it has to be photoshopped
the amount of crayola yellow 🤮
Gross for sure. And I don’t know how to root for them. I want them to do well but also I don’t.
I guess I’m mostly rooting for team failure and for them to do well not so well that their teams really want to keep them/they want to stay on their teams
Please delete this.
Could the mods put a ban on former Celtics in that horrible yellow?
Watching Smart play is pure cinema lmao its like 4 fouls including a flagrant in 6 minutes
My toxic trait is believing Marcus Smart joined the Lakers to ruin them from within
He’s on his horford sixers arc
The dream.
He can come back to the Celtics on a cheap deal and finally willing to come off the bench without it hurting his ego.
But then he’s basically old Marcus for us, but older. Still enough to be our 6th man and win a championship
Mine is disagreeing that this is a toxic trait.
We’re like 2.5 months away tops from some lakers fans legitimately believing this lol.
He’s 100% gonna be their new westbrook, in terms of he’s gonna get 100% of the blame when things inevitably go wrong cause their roster sucks and lebron is 40.
He’s so bad now. 3 turnovers, 4 fouls, 0 assists.
Only laker with a positive plus/minus though
Me seeing Smart in a L*kers jersey in real time:
My heart legit hurts, that feeling in your chest when you feel real sorrow. I could take it when it was Marcus on the Grizzlies but man, seeing them play for teams we hate, that really sucks.
Go Warriors! Fuck the warriors but anyone but the Lakers
nah this yr they got al so we gotta root for al
No we don’t lol Al left a second time when it wasn’t the best situation for him and this time didn’t even do it for more money.
Disrespected JB and D White on the way out at as well saying we wouldn’t be competitive enough
Wait I’ve been out of the loop. WHAT???
Edit: Okay, I read up on at least his exit statement. All he said was that clearly the Celtics weren’t gonna be going for gold this year, which is a given with Tatum being out and us dropping our players that were aging out.
I don’t see what’s wrong in that. Al’s still the GOAT for all he’s done for the Celtics as far as I’m concerned. Would’ve loved to see him retire here, but who knows.
We need him is why . We offered him the same money and a role he’s ring chasing when he already has a ring it’s lame . help us fight until Tatum gets back and maybe you still have a role if not you help the young guys mold the next title team . What’s the glory in being a backup big to Draymon especially after you hauled ass to philly and regretted it
If I’m Jaylen, I’m definitely feeling a way. Al wouldn’t have said this if it was Tatum healthy and Jaylen out long term.
Don’t think it’s cool to prop JB up like he has, watch him win ECFMVP and FMVP and then say he can’t lead a team to compete.
It’s only a slight to JB if you try to read it that way. No reasonable person is expecting the team to win it all with a third of the salary cap sidelined for the bulk of the season and no starting caliber PF or center on the roster. Hopefully Jaylen is mature enough to realize it’s not personal, but Al can’t carry the entire front court rotation at this point in his career.
Are we expecting JB to not take it as a slight? Lol the ultra competitive Jaylen brown that we know
He didn’t say anything about JB though, or any player on the team.
He just recognized that the Celtics were moving their older players, so we’re probably not gonna be hard focused on the championship this year. It’s not that he doesn’t believe in JB or the others, it’s that he doesn’t think the organization is planning to full send it for now. And he’s right.
The man probably only has 2 years left in him at most. How far he’s stretched his career is insane in itself, and most was with us. It’s unlikely, but I hope Al comes back to Boston to retire. I’m not about to turn on him after all this. I don’t care what reactionary redditors have to say.
Am I delusional for believing the warriors and Celtics could end up having the same seed in their respective conferences?
No, it’s not delusional because the west is much tougher than the east lol
Nah, warriors are old and hanging on for dear life to Steph. Cs will be fun and competitive but not have enough to push for higher seeds
Agreed. Folks are in denial otherwise regarding his departure
Unhinged behavior. Al gave everything he had for this team are players not allowed to be free agents now?
They can be FAs, don’t mean we have to root for him
I’m just glad Smart is out of Washington tbh. He was wasting away there
Real monkey’s paw moment
This is the darkest timeline
Uh… we won a title
you ruined it
Thanks dad
And now Smart is LeBrons teammate in purple and gold while Horford is teammates with Draymond and Jimmy. And they’re gonna be season long rivals :(
Pouring one for us who grew up with those two in Celtic green….
Marcus drawing an offensive foul then following it with committing an offensive foul… some thing’s never change 😂
Marcus is hilarious in this game he’s foul baiting so badly
Marcus is playing like a headless chicken, love him tho
Can’t believe Horford left after already winning i get the Tatum injury but come on man.
Yeah, Smart is just trying to find a landing spot after we dumped him. I don’t blame him at all.
With Al, he won with us and we wanted to keep him. I wouldn’t be surprised if we go just as far as the Warriors do this year. With Al, we’d probably go further
I could see if he left for okc but gsw lol
Lakers always scooping up former Celtics players
Just seeing Deandre ayton gortat screen Al so that Marcus could hit a running scoop layup was…a sequence that occurred. Absolutely hate this.
I checked in to see if this was getting aired out yet. Just watched Marcus try to (looked good to me) take a charge. I’ve missed him. He looks terrible in yellow, tho.
Al, good luck with Jimmy/Draymond/Kuminga.
So, so, so dumb
Should be an unwritten rule if you’re part of the Celtics legacy you can’t join the lakers if they aren’t a true championship contender. If u wanna ring chase go ahead but lakers aren’t winning shit this yr or next — lol
As much as it hurts seeing Smart on the Lakers I think that unwritten rule kinda goes out the window if you get traded by the team.
Not marcus’s fault. AL on the other hand…
Dudes heart broke when he got traded he can do what he wants
I mean I wouldn’t put money on the Lakers but they had a pretty good season last year despite a lot of injuries.
I don’t know that I’d put them in the bonafide contender slot, but they’ll be good.
Pass that pipe
They won their division last year and are better this year.
They’re going to be competitive, barring significant injury.
Marcus smart just tossed steph curry to the floor and i got all nostalgic until i processed that he was wearing a lakers jersey
Edit: he got a flagrant! Games gone woke
Y’all just use the word “woke” for anything huh.
Reminder, trump is a pedophile
The government shutdown is just a scam to buy time against the release of the Epstein files
Now that’s woke
That was a dirty play
3 years too late
Fuckin brutal night for Boston sports fans between Smart, Horford and Marchy.
I love how Faker fans wincing in pain with every Buddy Hield 3 lol
Al played for the Hawks for 9 seasons before the Cs
Im okay seeing this Marcus with LA. He’s still flopping about the floor and hitting it at 100 mph causing dumb fouls. AL still taking shots as if he were with us
I threw up a bit
I hate it
I hate that Smart is on the fucking Lakers
I’m one of the 30% of Celtics fans that never liked Smart, I REALLY don’t like him now that he’s with the Lakers I hope he keeps fouling and shoots em Outta the game
Yup him leaving is one of the main reasons we won. He tried his best to lose us the game 7 in Miami in 2022 that was a ridiculous collapse all because he couldn’t stop hurling threes .
Gross.
I’m just glad they on contending teams and not bottom feeders
Mix the jersey colors together and you get green 💚 ☘️
It was certainly an odd look, particularly when Al was the first one to point out Marcus trying to rip Steph’s arm off!
Al’s cool, but fuck Smart. That flopping bastard was out there going ham. Falling all over the court. If you can’t play anymore and your whole game is hoping to draw a foul, just give it up. I’m so happy he plays for the Lakers I could shit. Fuck em both, hate that guy.
After having to watch Rondo in Lakers yellow, this one somehow hurts more. Al doesn’t bug me, he was a role player at this point, and the Celtics chance of competing again is very tied to Tatum now. I’m happy for him, wherever he ended up.
We need a youth revolution and to get the cap under control to build around the core 4 (Jayz, Dwhizzle, Pritch please) moving forward.
It sucks, but the NBA is a business after all.
Traitors
As someone who was never on the Marcus Smart train, I love seeing him in a Lakers jersey. I absolutely would wish him on my worst enemy. Well, wish granted.
LA ain’t winning shit with Smart on their roster. We should be celebrating this!
Horford, though? That one hurts. A lot.
Yup smart will be given the Westbrook treatment by LeBron . You simply can’t have a garbage offensive player taking the amount of shots and holding the ball as much as he does .
