That was a terrible posession.

The team stood around, watching Brown dribble around the court lol

Probably. No other reason. He lost his quick first step and speed. Handles declined. He wast fast as a rookie
I remember all the hype when he posted photos of him bulking up, but he's not a freak athlete, and didn't need to bulk up, imo.

I think a Toronto poster posted earlier that Smart & Tatum were out partying hard last night... that probably explains it for this game
Sigh.

What pick was Smart? Doesn't matter where they got drafted...both lottery picks. One is a difference maker, and the other is an end of the bench guy.

I didn’t liked that at all. Thought he was going to play solid 4 because of that, but that’s not his game posting up.
