Celtics (15-2) at Mavericks (3-14) Game #18 11/20/17

I will give a tommy point to anyone who can convince me why Abdel Nader deserves to be on this roster more than say Gerald Green.

[SHAQATTACK]

Smart shooting % tonight 5% ? or something

never have i seen so much clanging the rim

Smart wearing the piant off the rhe mavs rim

[jpotter33]

Smart shoots the Mavs back into the game, then makes a steal in the 4th, and his fan club will gush about how clutch he is.

Maybe if the peanut gallery didn't constantly harp on every little bad thing he does and showed a little perspective by actually being objective, then his "fan club" wouldn't have to so vehemently defend his status as a legit contributor to this team...

Kyrie has been great, Brown has been great (outside of ft shooting), and we should easily be up 20... but the elite d/offensively challenged bench showed up in a big way and it’s a two possession game...

our issues are SELF INFLICTED. fix it CBS!

I got nothing. Would have much preferred Gerald for that roster spot.

Why won't Irving let other guyz shoot? He's gonna score all the points?

Smart's been tough from three...really tough.

[SHAQATTACK]

After the third brick ,  id bench Smart

Same with Brickzer


just awful

[A Future of Stevens]

I don't get it. How can Jaylen be so competent from 3, yet so below average at the ft line?

[ETNCeltics]

Smart is about the only guy in the league who can go 1 for 7 and it barely move his shooting %.

[Rosco917]

We were on our way to a blowout until the second unit took the floor. Rozier and Smart sucked.

[CelticSooner]

CBS has been doing these wonky lineups since he got to Boston. He's coaching for the season not tonight, I understand it. Either the bench will improve or it will cost them come playoff time.

This argument has never made sense to me. In the playoffs we're only going to go like 9 deep with Kyrie, Brown, Morris, Tatum, Horford, Smart, Baynes, Rozier, and maybe Semi more defense. Why should we suffer all year long with full bench lineups out there when you won't see that at all in the playoffs? I just don't think that argument makes any sense.

Because players get hurt and other circumstances. The C's ultimately beat Washington last season because they had a bench and the Wizards didn't. I don't have a big problem with CBS tinkering during the season as much as I do with players not making WIDE open shots. This league is filled with the best basketball players in the world. If you've made it this far you should be able to do that at worst.

Tommy point for answering.

Holy Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Nader sucks.

when a guy is hot and has not missed yet you let him keep shooting!

Jaylen Brown has been great again.  Dude's quickly developing into a two-way monster.

I’d be fine with him taking the rest of the shots this game...
