Marcus Smart spoke to the media about getting ejected from the Cavaliers-Celtics preseason game on Saturday for a cheap shot on J.R. Smith. He says he told Smith to meet him in the back after the two had to be separated on the court.
Smart went on to say that J.R. knows where to find him if he wants to take care of their unfinished business.

Smith took to Twitter with a response of his own to Smart’s postgame comments and warned the Celtics guard to keep it about basketball.

The next time the Celtics and Cavs play each other should be entertaining. I’m sure the NBA doesn’t want this type of back-and-forth, but the casual fan probably doesn’t mind.
