Terry can talk his way into and out of most anything, but he didn’t deny that his year was anything but awful. He isn’t done yet, though, especially because he has two years left on the deal that he signed in 2012 when the Celtics had him pegged as an outside shooting replacement for Ray Allen. “I definitely don’t want to retire,” Terry said after the Celtics’ 88-80 season-ending loss to the Knicks at TD Garden Friday night. “I’ve got a lot of basketball left in me.” Boston Globe

With 7:06 left to go in the fourth quarter, J.R. Smith was called for a flagrant 2 foul when his right elbow caught Jason Terry square in the face. That meant an automatic ejection for Smith, and it could have repercussions for Game 4 on Sunday as the Knicks try to close the Celtics out. Terry had to be restrained by teammates. “I was trying to draw the foul,” Smith said in the locker room after the game. “He reached in one time. I thought he was gonna reach in again a second time. I was gonna try to get a quick shot off, but they made a call that the refs saw. Not really much I could do about it.” Boston Globe

Smith said he was going to prepare to play on Sunday, though flagrant 2 fouls can come with fines or suspensions after they are reviewed by the league. “I don’t really know,” he said when asked if the ejection was warranted. “I’m not really the judge of that. I’m going to let them do what they do. I’m really trying to stay away from getting into it with the officials. I’ve got to keep my head. “It was a bad basketball play on my behalf just because I got kicked out of the game. My team needs me. Just got to get ready to play Sunday.” Boston Globe

So, Terry was asked, how could a guy trained by The Glove turn into such a fire-at-will offensive player instead of a defense-first guard? “I was (defensive-minded),” Terry said, breaking into a smile. “That’s how I made my name. In high school and at Arizona, I was a defensive stopper. Mike Bibby and those guys shot all the balls. My job was to lock people down. “But once I got to the NBA,” he added with a laugh, “that all changed. You’ve got to score in this league to have success. “But Gary’s just been an inspiration in my life. I still talk to him. He’s just been tremendous for me.” Boston Herald

That’s part of the learning process. And Cuban believes Terry’s development in Dallas should be an example for Mayo. “They’re completely different players, but I think O.J. can learn a lot from Jet,” Cuban said. “Jet really got better when he became catch and shoot or one dribble and shoot. I think that’s something that O.J. needs to add to his game, and I’ve told that to him.” ESPN.com
