That's just not true.

Maybe you're forgetting that Jrue is an All-Star before he came to Boston.


That was before. Can you say the same about this version of Jrue that we have right now?

It was just last season that he was an All-Star.

I think it was made clear that Jrue had to make a big sacrifice when he came to the Celtics.

For comparison, this season Smart is shooting 43% from the field and 31.3% from the 3pt line and Jrue is shooting 45.7% from the field and 40.6% from the 3pt line.

Even at the FT line Jrue is slightly better this season.

Jrue should like...never attempt to talk any kind of trash ever again. You'd think he might have learned after Jimmy completely clowned him in the Playoffs lol

The raptors head coach became my fav person this week when he went after the refs.

What you want Tatum knows he has no legs, if he puts in effort to get a ball, he need to shoot and without his legs he just hurt his ts% that he pads with 3s.

I hope Jrue accepts his role as the 5th option all this sacrifice talk is nonsense, he’s never been a good scorer so the Marcus smart role is perfect for him

2nd night of a back to back, playing on the road..the game last night went to OT. we're playing 3rd game in 4 nights..5th game in 7 nights. Missing 1 of our top 6 guys (Al) who is also one of our better shooters.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Playoffs will reveal all. No need to get panties in a bunch. It's a catch 22 knowing what they are capable of vs what you might get...

Didn't look at the stats so it looks like Marcus has been even worse this season. LOL.

Those stats of Jrue though doesn't look right, though. He's shooting nearly 41% from three and 45.7% overall? Would you know what are his numbers in the last few games?

Zinger has been pretty horrible. This is the kind of game we have him for and the reason he was rested. Playing so scared.

Cs will face the Bucks again in March and April.

So just let the Jays and KP pad their stats and start focusing on Houston.

Would be a shame if Ime Udoka is the one who breaks the 18-game home winning streak.

I mean he's missing open shots but I don't know if that means he's scared.

He needs to stop shooting threes, I know he won’t but he needs to.

All of his shots outside of 3s are quick-release fade aways. Definitely playing scared right now.
