I didn't get to watch the game but just looking at the amount of minutes the big guys played Smith couldn't have been out there much as the PF unless Jerebko was playing the 3. Who locked Deng up by the way?
PoP never blamed Smith. Not sure why you're bringing him up. Smith played a good game, so did Monroe, so did Drummond. This loss was all on our guards
Actually he did, "conveniently leave the other guy out of this", we know what he was saying there.
The original quote was dumping on Monroe for his awful game of 16 points and 9 rebounds because it didn't meet a magic 20/10 number. He also mentioned how Thompson went off in the same post.
Had the original post been accurate, the blame for Thompson would have rightfully been spread among all of the bigs. Jerebko and Smith shared SOME time at the four but Smith moreso.
As for Deng's shooting performance, it certainly wasn't our defense. If you watched the game you saw that he was simply missing open shots and just stopped taking them after a while. And they were WIDE open shots. We got lucky there.
