Kendrick Perkins blasts Marcus Smart for calling out his teammates

The blowout loss of the Celtics Boston against the Chicago Bulls was surely an embarrassing moment for the team but Marcus Smart seemed dismayed, and end up pinning the blame onto Tatum and Brown.

He told the media, ” I would just like to play basketball. Every team knows we’re trying to go to Jayson and Jaylen. Every team is programmed and studied to stop Jayson and Jaylen. I think everybody’s scouting report is to make those guys pass the ball. They don’t want to pass the ball.”

But this statement just didn’t sit right with the former NBA Champion Kendrick Perkins.

Kendrick Perkins, a former Celtic player believes that Smart has broken the locker-room codes. The locker room is the place where the team discusses everything pre and post-game to get a clear view of the future. Win or loss is a matter of how one delivers on the court. But Smart’s statement is highly unprofessional and does not adhere to the feeling of the team.

Some fans believed what he said was true and showed their support.

Statements like these sometimes can break the team apart and spread distrust and abhorring amongst the team members. We can just hope that they resolve this issue within the team as soon as possible because the season is almost in its 2 d month now.
