Marcus Smart trolls Raptors on social media after Celtics Game 7 win
A thorn in the side of the Toronto Raptors for seven playoff games, Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is still getting under their skin.
About a half an hour after Boston won Game 7, Smart proclaimed the Celtics to be the “King of the North” in an epic post-game troll.
THE KING OF THE NORTH!

Smart was excellent again for the Celtics in Game 7, scoring 16 points in the 92-87 win. He also made perhaps the biggest defensive play at the game, blocking a Norman Powell layup in the final minute.

“I’m first-team all-defence for a reason,” Smart said after the game.
There will be a new NBA champion this season, as the Raptors’ run is over. The Celtics will play the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Final. Most pundits expect the LA Lakers and LA Clippers to meet in the Western Conference Final, though they are still involved in series against the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets, respectively.
