Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart warned that Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals probably won’t be easy on the eyes.
Smart predicted a “dogfight” in the decisive game, with both teams fully focused on winning the game and heading to the NBA Finals.
“It’s about just winning the game now,” Smart said after Friday’s game, via Chris Forsberg of ESPN. “It’s not going to be pretty. You got to be able to get down and get dirty. You can’t go out and try to look pretty. You have to be ready for a dogfight.
“We got to be ready to come up with our nose bloodied. We got to be ready to come out with our mouth bloodied. We have to come out ready to fight.”
The Celtics have home court advantage, and the Cavaliers have health concerns. That said, they also have LeBron James, so it’s anyone’s guess as to how Game 7 will play out.
