Could not disagree more.

Let me guess, "He makes winning plays you can't see" :camby:

Tired of his bullshyt. If he's not going to change his ways, which after 3 years he's still doing the same shyt and Stevens is still allowing him to do the same shyt, he has to fukking go

He's one of our best defenders, rebounders and yes, does the little things. I want a guy like Marcus on my tteam. It's up to management to add another true scorer to the second unit. which relieves Marcus of a role he isn't meant for.

This team is fukked without Marcus on the roster.

I'd be all for a guy like Marcus if he knew how to stay in his lane. Problem is he doesn't, he hasn't since he came into the league and probably never will. He has the shooting ability of Tony Allen yet he damn near has the shot selection of Klay Thompson. He literally has a worse 3% than Amir does, yet he gets free reign to chuck as much as he wants. Part of the blame goes to Stevens for refusing to rein him in and hold him accountable, when he's constantly showing to be a detriment to the offense. I think pretty highly of Stevens but any competent coach would put a stop to his bullshyt. But also I would expect an NBA player to know how to play to his strengths. He's proven that he has no concept of that whatsoever.

Spare me that BS about adding another scorer to the 2nd unit, he was doing the same shyt last year when we had one of the best 6th men in the league coming off the bench with him. Accept that this is who he is, an inefficient blackhole

Defensively he does some great things but he also does equally stupid things, such as his excessive flopping that he doesn't even get calls for the vast majority of the time, the unnecessary gambles he takes like tonight going for a steal and allowing Lowry to score an easy basket late in the game.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Smart is the pointguard Reggie Evans

Even if you say he had a bad game yesterday, he's been excellent pretty much since beginning of December. And he's been able to step in seamlessly when Bradley has been out on our journey to the 2 seed.

Horford and Amir were much bigger concerns for me personally in the game yesterday

Cleveland looking vulnerable, if Danny can add a piece we can give them a run for their money

Played excellent while shooting 36% during that stretch :mjlol:

But the people who think Smart is a useful player are the same ones who were riding for Rondo until the very end, so that says everything :ehh:

Excellent defense, much improved playmaking, clutch plays and as much as you may not admit it his shot selection has improved he's looking to create as opposed to taking shots

A good chunk of his shots come at the end of the shot clock

His shot selection has improved so much he's shooting 36% instead of 35% :wow:

When did Reggie Evans locked down all-star caliber players, let alone an MVP candidate? :patrice:

Isaiah have more freedom now because Smart have improved his passing. He's now a threat in the post and becoming a deadly pick-n-roll passer. With Smart becoming the second ball-handler to IT, he wouldn't have much pressure scoring because IT can score both on and off the ball. Instead, it gives the team more option and problem for the opposing team.

"Had Brown been drafted by a real lottery team, he would likely be averaging significantly more than his 5.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.3 minutes, and he would likely be a shoo-in for the U.S. Team that features only three rookies: Malcolm Brogdon, Brandon Ingram and Marquese Chriss. Thanks to the Boston Celtics' infamous 2013 trade with the Nets, though, Brown's job as a rookie is to make the most of a relatively limited role."
