Yes, and I feel like he hasn't been in much this game.


He's played almost half the minutes Simmons has, Philly's been playing him a ton every night.


Not exactly an even comparison. Simmons plays 1-4 for Philly and he's the best or second best player, depending on if Embiid plays or not. Boston doesn't need to play Tatum as many minutes.

Morris and Semi are absolute black holes on offense.

How much has Smart’s passing improved this year?

He's a fine one-on-one defender esp in the post. Not much of a help defender.


We need him for lebron

Yeah, his defensive skills set a really low bar and it's ugly when he can't reach it. If he can tighten up his 3 point shot I'll be happy.

You don't have to be a statue. He was in position. Simmons was out of control.


Hahaha. Of course you do. Otherwise he would have gotten the call.

Its the NBA. Super Stars get bias calls. Smart doesn't. He took a chance trying to take a charge, his feet moved, the refs saw it, realized he isn't a star, and didn't give him the call. Had he been a statue, like he has been before, he woulda gotten the call.

Guys, come on. Now that Smart is hitting shots we need to find someone else to complain about? Morris is playing well, he's actually scoring with the second unit - I mean someone has to!

If he didn't move his foot a bit at the end he woulda gotten the call. He set and then lifted his foot before Simmons hit him. Maybe Simmons slowed up more than he expected.


we got the call going our way in the 3rd when Covington drove into Brown, who was shuffling just as much as Smart was.

can't be disappointed about getting 50% instead of 0% of those, but I'd bet if the ref could redo it he'd make the Simmons/Smart one be the charge because it looked laughable.
