NBA: Marcus Smart punished for ref-criticism after game against Houston Rockets

The league has Marcus Smart on his 24th birthday. She was ordered to pay a fine for her birthday. The Boston Celtics guard has to pay $15,000 for his criticism of the referee after the Houston Rockets match.

If you play against someone like James Harden, who always gets his calls, you’ll actually always have foul trouble,”Smart told the Boston Globe after the Rockets defeat.

“You have to be very careful and you can’t play your normal defense because you know he will get nine out of ten calls,”Smart continued,”It doesn’t matter whether your hand is up or down. He gets the calls. We have seen it today and we see it again and again. He’s always holding us, pulling us to him and getting the fouls. He’s been doing this for years and getting away with it.”

Harden got 13 free throws against Celtics and finished the game with 26 points (6/18 FG), 10 assists and 7 rebounds in 38 minutes.
