We are a much worse team if he is replaced by a league average player.

Brad knows it.

Why don't you?

You're really hitting that strawman hard, Cave.

I think the consensus is that he's great defensively and would be awesome overall if he stopped being aggressively terrible in his shot selection.

Yea I forgot. That's you out there right now my man shooting up the bricks.

Carry on bruh. As smart plays offensive tackle and shows me your genius is so unbearably high that I don't know what I was thinking taking a shot at you.

Hard to win with offense when the guy shooting 5% thinks he's Kyrie Irving, no?


We're expected to ignore this bullsh--?

We're up by double digits and watched Marcus hoist brick after brick as Dallas got back in the game... Yeah, nothing to see there...

smart with the ball at the 3pt line with a 7fter on him slower than any 7fter in the nba is NOT an advantage for us.

Saw that. Would have been a good moment to show the rook you have confidence in him.

Borderline exhibition game. Could be up 20+ right now if Brad wanted to go to the starters earlier.

I'm tired of talking about it, but Smart has been the worst of our main rotation guys this season. Awful isn't enough to describe how bad he's been.

It is good coaching. They keep leaving Marcus Smart wide open and he can't resist. :lol: Anyway that Celtics bench is a problem. They are allowing teams back into games almost every night the team plays.

Because you want to see how they play in non garbage time situations. We’re friggin toying with these guys

Okay, I've seen enough of Nader. He can go back to cheering on the bench.

Smart has the second most shots for the half. 1-7, has more turnovers than points.

The hate goes about 100,000 miles further than that.

Celtics point guards having a good night shooting 59%.

Irving 90% and Smart 14%

We really need to revamp our bench. Desperately need another scorer.

And I do think that Baynes should be starting with Marcus Morris off the bench.

Yeah, him and Yabu can go to Portland any day. Semi too tbh. I’d take Bird over all three
