Re: Marcus Smart, DPOY – Gets Engaged (Christmas, 2022)
But I read an entire thread saying the real problem was the lack of a real PG.
To be fair, he has clearly gotten better as a playmaker, but I thought he just needed time.

Even before then he was underrated on offense by same people who think offense is just about scoring/shooting.

I’m surprised I was never banned during the Smart wars.

I think this is from Basketball Reference but I found it on reddit.

Please let him retire as a Celtic. With 3 or more titles.

Small sample but in the four consecutive games Smart has missed, Celtics have the 4th worst offensive rating, 4th worst assist/turnover ratio, and are just 21st in true shooting %.

Larry Bird’s steals are insane. It’s easy to forget how impactful he was defensively because he was so self deprecating about his one on one defensive ability..

Smart has retired from basketball and is just selling cereals for a good cause. Support him and his efforts.

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’m tempted to order the Wicked Smarts. $31 with shipping for a 2 pack. I was thinking I’d pay up to $15 for a box but don’t really have an interest in two of them. Also I’m being cheap!

I’ve got tickets to the Pacer game on the 23rd, behind the basket right by our tunnel. Would hate for him to miss it for selfish reasons.

Just 2-4 since Smart went down. 20th in offense during that span where we didn’t have our offensive liability.

That’s my PG! Delivers more pinpoint on-time passes than anyone on the team.

Feels like he shouldn't be in this chart at all, since they call it off-ball guards/wings. At least he is validly dominating it.
