It takes some effort to move your knee out AFTER you have jumped straight up and are in the air already. And it does nothing to leverage a pass, so there is not really a reason to swing the leg like that otherwise.
I've played a lot of basketball and jumped a lot. That looked like a natural movement to me, but I guess YMMV.

Jesus, Marcus. Not tonight when you've been throwing up bricks.

These are wide open jumpers that Smart is shooting and they aren’t fucking close

Agreed, I agree with the no call. Like he's making a kinda panic throw, his body flailed, just bad luck for Marcus
Yes. People are failing to see that Randle was being heavily pressured and attempting a cross court pass while trying to gain balance off the pass. The last thing a player is thinking about in a reactionary moment at game speed is the opportunity to kick a guy in the nuts.

OTOH he may be enough of a clever asshole to figure he could get away with one

I think about kicking Celtics players in the nuts a lot nowadays

You don’t need a three in that situation. They burned so much time with endless threes. Go for quick two. Poor coaching poor decisions.

I agree with you on the initial decision to shoot a 3, but after that they were just taking what the defense was giving them with the paint packed from rebounding attempts.
