NESN's Gio Rivera sees the possible injury absence of Marcus Smart due to a chest contusion as "daunting news" for the Boston Celtics - making the case that his fourth-quarter performance from Game 1 against the Philadelphia 76ers makes him one of the team's primary clutch time players."This comes as especially daunting news, not just because the Celtics are trailing the 76ers 0-1, but because Smart came up big in crunch time, after being anchored by Jaylen Brown's lack of offensive production - three field goal attempts in the second half with two turnovers - and Jayson Tatum's inability to shine on the big stage," Rivera wrote.
