and he’s bricking every shot in crunch time lol. A bad post up, wide open bricks and a bad pass. Well he’s working hard though.

So BIG 3 of Suns lost to a Morant-less Grizz at home?

LOL Smart with a clutch steal. Of course.

Suns are a joke!

16 assists, 5 blocks and 4 points seems like a very unusual stat line.

So do you still think we’d win a championship if we didn’t trade Smart for KP ?

Bane was -11 in 37 minutes of a 6 point victory.

Celtics now up 3 games vs. the Wolves and more vs. anybody else. Let's keep -- and extend -- that edge!

That's why I say it's Clips vs. Celtics in the finals.

The problem is if JT and KP don't play tomorrow, the Cs might lose and offset the Wolves' loss today.

Nice try. That's SO NOT what you said. Lol.

I’ll ask the question again. Do you think we win a championship if we keep Smart instead of trading him for KP ?

Not until you admit you had an idiotic take. Used a premature example that bit you in the ass.

Clippers over Nuggets? Don't know about that.

That would be a fun WCF. Might take Clips in 7 with everyone healthy.

I feel Nuggets are still the tougher matchup for the Celtics. Clips have a tendency to iso. Cs have one of the better equipped teams to play individual/iso defense.

This shouldn’t be that hard to understand.
I specifically said the reason we won’t win the championship is because Smart tries to do more on offence than he should. It paying off every now & then in the regular season doesn’t change that which is exactly why we traded him.

Nice revisionist take. We traded Smart because Brogdon to Clippers fell apart.

Worked out for us since we still got Jrue out of it.

It’s not a revisionist take though. The Brogdon trade fell through but we still traded Smart for KP which is exactly what I was talking about in the first place …
How is this not getting through to you ?

Except you're reinventing the exact reason why we traded Smart for KP. Dealing with facts here. If you wanna live in your fantasyland, that's your prerogative.
