Stephen A. Smith Calls Out Jaylen Brown, Celtics for Major Issue vs. 76ers

The Boston Celtics caused their own demise in Game 7, falling 109 to a hungry Philadelphia 76ers team that had all of its key players available.Philly completed an impressive comeback after being down 3-1, with much credit to Joel Embiid. In his return from an appendectomy, the big man was stellar and put on another big performance Saturday to lead his team to the next round of the postseason.While many will point to the Celtics not having Jayson Tatum due to injury, others are criticizing Boston for a different reason, and they're right. A tendency to live and die by the three-pointer really hurt this squad, as they kept firing from long range as their strategy, even in a one-point game. ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith brought attention to that critical issue, which really made the Celtics and their fans suffer, even though Game 7 could have gone much differently.Read more: Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla Under Fire After 76ers Win Game 7 in Boston..."Props to the @sixers. Big-time win. But I don’t understand for the life of me how the @celtics spent 6-straight possessions launching 3’s — including 3 from @FCHWPO — in the last 2 min of a 1-point game.
