Hes the steady hand we need. Hes had several highlight defensive plays. If his long range shot becomes consistent.....**** mang. We good.

Didnt he have 11 pts too?


Yeah... but I was talking about that one possession. Heat missed a shot, Smith got the rebound. Heat missed a shot, Smith got the rebound. Then he gets the ball and hits a corner three.

I hope you don't include him shooting the 3. I really don't like that.


Long as he can make 30 percent and stay aggressive in other areas, keep shootin' em big fellaa!

Kid cut his hair and became a beast.

Jaime cut his and turned into a turd.

I distinctly remember Jaime looking like a god among men in SL. Everything was in rhythm, explosive, efficient.

I dont know what this chit version is.

Too busy shooting commercial ads. He has to bring more hours in the lab. His shooting didn't improve a bit.

Wonder who will be the backup guards on the allstar team since Herro got that starting spot locked up tight.

Difference between being a featured player and a bit player I guess. We need the best version of Jaime. We haven't seen him in a bit.

Going small like that for a closing lineup is not sustainable. Bam,Butler, Herro, Smith, and Rozier is not a long term lineup. Smith and Herro have promise as a future backcourt like Gabe and Herro. Adding someone like DFS to that closing lineup is what we should be looking at.

He doesnt look explosive at all. Tired legs from too much work? Hes had some groin issues.

I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a DFS type rather than Terry or Highsmith. In theory, HH is a similar player, but man, he's so meh.
