I'd rather start Schroder and bring Smart off the bench. Reason is that Schroder can beat guys off the bounce, Smart can't. With Smart at the point, the ball just swings around the perimeter. That's always been true. Plus, Smart pairs better with PP than Schroder does.

S does Jaylen though. And normally he'd be seeing the ball a lot here.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Herro has taken his game to the next level. More size and ability to withstand contact and he's in control and more fluid. Reminds me of the leap Jaylen took last season

that's good basketball. dribble penetration jrich, kicks it to Nesmith who nails the 3.

Let's not debate who's better between nesmith and Jrich. let's see how god they are playing together :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I hear ya', but we need a guy on the second unit who can create and score at the same time. So many games last season, our second unit basically lost us big leads because no one could do anything.

Also, if you keep Smart as a starter, he's not likely to shoot away with reckless abandon.

Good start. Love what Romeo did, and Schroder was really good too.

I think PP can be the playmaker on the second unit. It's up to Ime to keep Smart under control.

i like what i'm seeing, but it's hard to get too excited.

rob sitting out with the knee tendonitis injury - same injury he missed time with last year - has me worried. if rob can't stay healthy it's gonna be tough for this team to go anywhere :(
