Marcus Smart is screaming at someone in the Celtics locker room — or several people. The yelling continues as Smart exits the locker room, swearing.

Marcus Smart is screaming in the #Celtics locker room and there is a bunch of arguing going on. Smart comes out say “y’all on that bullshit!” Team is imploding. Smart is in bathroom and there is still screaming coming from locker room.

After the Celtics embarrassed themselves on the court they decided to yell about it in the locker room. Reports are lots of yelling, swearing and things being thrown. Also, apparently Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown has to be separated. Glad everyone is having fun.
I’m very happy this happened. Assuming this will provide a change for game 3 in ecstatic. This team should be up 2-0 but instead they’ve blown two games, this fight needed to happen. These are a bunch of young guys stuck at Disney for 3 months now. They aren’t playing well and whatever they’ve been trying isn’t working. Even going back to last series they were up 2-0 that series should not have gone 7. This is a wake up call, now we need to see it translate for game 3. I’m expecting a massive win on Saturday.
Jaylen Brown on Boston’s locker room: “A lot of people are passionate, emotional. … That’s all it is, passion being expressed.” Said he wants the Celtics to bring that fire to Game 3.

UPDATE:
ESPN Sources: Brad Stevens had a late night Thursday meeting with Celtics leaders – Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart – to work through emotions of post-Game 2 locker room. A lot of yelling in locker room, but nothing escalated to a physical confrontation.
