Lemme guess - Jimmy Butler already has 6-7 freethrow attempts lol his whistle as a Warrior playing with Steph Curry is going to be SGA-lite

Refs can’t fall for the Smart BS. Curry barely touched him wtf

LeBron James, Austin Reeves, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart….god every possession is gonna be a flop by any of them

Flagrant for sure. Looked like he was trying to injure Curry.

Definite flagrant

Not too surprised Houston lost, but they have a competitive squad that has some special and reliable pieces on both ends.

Houston will need to make a move for a steadying lead guard, and add a shooter or shooter-playmaker wing, in place of a utility wing player. I'd hone in on the eastern conf. teams and see what to get.

Amen Thompson probably a year or two away from being an adequate floor spacer.

Smart doing smart things. Trying to dislocate Curry’s shooting arm

Close. He has 8 fta so far. Dude has a better whistle than SGA and it's not even close

Is SGA appreciably quicker than this Kobe (this is 27 years old):

Watch on YouTube

Maybe, is he quicker than younger Kobe before some beating on the body who was even quicker than this one, don't know...

I consider Kobe extremely quick and I'd still say SGA is quicker than him even in straight line speed.

It's his change of pace that makes him quicker than he actually is. Honestly, I'm still shocked he's become a Top 3 player in the league with his athleticism. He's closer to average than he is elite, it's a real testament to his skill level to be able to dominate the way he does.

After watching that exciting double OT, i tune in just in time to watch Steph and Smart with the flopping masterpieces...

Post #799 » by **HMFFL** » Wed Oct 22, 2025 3:12 am

Attempting to do harm to Steph only hurts the game. Come on Smart
