Is Marcus Smart really a point guard? Would he play the 1 on the majority of NBA teams?

Brick City so far for Boston. When your 2 best players can’t throw it in the ocean (Tatum & Brown), it’s gonna be a long night.

I do get slightly annoyed by the Kobe comparisons. Bean was so much more technically sound and precise its not even funny.

I dont think Boston won the minutes Durant sat out. Never a good sign.

Nets are playing focused defense. They are clearly the better them, but are handicapped by Nash, Udoka is 3x better than Nash.

Good time to get Boston on the live spread. They probably still win this.

Nah, they're the better team and the Nets are looking gassed already. Ignore my financial advice if you want.

Well in fairness it's also tough to get some consistency when the main players are so in and out of the lineup. What you're saying is also true, but that chemistry and familiarity with tendencies and the system also factor in.


That is true, but they had a steady lineup during the first 2 months and they had the same problem.

This is Smarts true value. Can change the momentum of a game and inject some heart into his teammates.
