Forsberg: Why Smart was the right choice for DPOY
Smart is riding high after becoming the first guard to win Defensive Player of the Year since Gary Payton in 1995-96. The longest-tenured Celtic also assisted on Jayson Tatum's game-winning buzzer-beater in Sunday's Game 1.
It's a good thing Smart is dressed for a heavyweight bout, because that's exactly what the C's can expect vs. Brooklyn in Game 2. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. right here on NBC Sports Boston. Coverage begins at 6 p.m. with Celtics Pregame Live.
Note: Games 2-6 of the Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics series will be aired on NBC Sports Boston and can also be streamed on NBCSportsBoston.com or with the MyTeams App, which you can download below.
