Smith isn't sweating the Boston Celtics' Game 2 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.The 76ers evened the first-round series with a 111-97 win at Boston on Tuesday night. Despite the setback, Smith argued on ESPN's "First Take" that the Celtics should bounce back from a poor shooting performance."I'm not concerned at all," Smith said on Wednesday. "They shot 13-of-50 from three-point range.

It's about 26 percent. Jayson Tatum, Sam Hauser didn't have good nights shooting from three."Smith celebrated the "special" backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, who scored 59 combined points for the 76ers. However, he doesn't see Philadelphia posing a significant threat to Boston with Joel Embiid sidelined."The issue with the Philadelphia 76ers is that there's no Joel Embiid," Smith said.

"Now, I watched this man average 35 (points) on one leg. So if he's on the court, I'm worried about Joel Embiid. No doubt.

The problem is that the possibility of him ending up on the court is slim to none."Meanwhile, Smith expects Joe Mazzulla's Celtics to stay the course and rebound behind their two superstars."But I don't think this is a concern. I've seen the Celtics lose games and then, all of a sudden, they answer the call," Smith declared. "It's Jaylen Brown, who had 36 last night.

It's Jayson Tatum getting healthier and healthier with each passing game. And they don't shoot like this under normal circumstances. "I believe they believe in their system.

I believe they should. And as long as Brown and Tatum are there, the 76ers are not going to have enough to beat them in a series. I'm not concerned."Michael Wilbon concurred.

The longtime "Pardon The Interruption" co-host expects the Celtics to keep firing away from behind the arc, and he doesn't anticipate Boston going cold three more times this series."This is how the Celtics lose when they lose. They just have a three-point shooting night that goes awry, and they're going to live with volume and more volume," Wilbon explained. "Their answer to shooting 15-of-50 is shoot 55 of them the next game. I don't think they'll be this bad back-to-back."More NBA: Celtics' Fatal Flaw Sinks Them Again In Game 2 Vs. 76ers
