Just stop it with all this marcus smart defense. I hated marcus as a starter here, and it’s obvious you’re a fan boy. So let’s just agree to disagree on this one, and move on.
Oh, i get a vibe from you, with the way you react and comment. Like, you’ve been here before. Am i right? Haha


I can post whatever I like lol.

Posting factual accurate stats isn’t being a fanboy. In fact, the person who ignores facts with such great contributions as “lol NO” is being an irrational hater. You can hate all you want, more power to you.

And of course I’ve been here before, I’ve made no secret of who I am. And I was overwhelmingly in favor of moving Smart for KP, I was ready to move on regardless. But let’s not lie about what he brought.


He brought defense and grit i get that. I liked him as a bench player, and thought he was holding this team as a starter. I admit, i hated his guts as a starter. I was over the moon when he was traded. The fact is, he’s not with this team anymore, and stop defending his ass already.


Why can’t I defend him, exactly?

It’s okay for you to hate and blast him, but not for me to be a fan and defend him?

Arguing with me is as little fun as ever lol.

Apparently you're not allowed to appreciate a long-time Celtic for his years of service and the good times he brought. Once they leave, they're only allowed to be strangers to you. So says Triple7. :wavefinger:

Don't want to tempt fate by commenting on how Suns have performed so far due to their stars missing games. But everyone was praising them in the off-season on how well they constructed that team.

I came here to say, they did a great job building depth. Nurcik I thought was a weird fit but what’s the deal with Beal and Booker? Surprised Beal hasn’t played yet and Booker has been a part timer so far.

I’m in the camp of not seeing them winning a championship but they’ve had Durant all season so far so I’m a bit surprised they’ve looked this bad.

I think they’re a perfect example of a new owner coming in and trying to spend to win without much else thought.

Beal and Booker haven't played and they gave away Ayton for nothing, probably because he became too toxic.
All this could've been avoided if they just gave Ayton the extension he ended up getting, instead of playing cute and trying to test the RFA market.

I wonder why Trae Young has been regressing offensively the past couple years.

Jalen Johnson is a steal for the Hawks.

Lebron 35 minutes and the Lakers still lost big.

That would be good for the Cs, but it would be bad for the kid.

Jalen Johnson is in the perfect spot because he's going to be a starter there.

With the Cs, he's going to be Brissett's replacement.

He will just want out because of the lack of minutes.

The Bulls need to blow it up.

Return to Boston Celtics
