If there are things about veteran Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart’s game that he needs help with, trash talk probably isn’t at the top of the list.
But that didn’t stop “Your Cousin from Boston” — an imaginary relative we all seem to have a real-life version of (or are that version of) whipped up by the folks at Sam Adams beer and Bleacher Report — from trying to help the Texan defensive specialist in this short.
While we have to admit, “You’re going to have to quarantine for 14 days after that travel,” is pretty witty, anything that requires that much thought to get the gist of the ribbing probably isn’t going to work too well on the court.

To Smart’s credit, he’s pretty patient with Our Cousin — at least at first – who seems to have confused puns with trash talk.
Check it out for yourself to get in a few chuckles ahead of today’s big game — and let’s hope the Raptors go back to their anti-vaxxer ways with all those missed shots.
We’ll show ourselves out.
