I can't believe it. Marcus Smart is leading all players in the game in assists. Never thought that would happen
Funny you say that because the Heat announcers were actually complementing the C's on how much more ball movement they have since the Rondo trade.
And the Heat announcers would know this because? My guess is they never see the Celrics.
Well, Eric Reid, their play by play guy was talking about how he spoke to Gorman at length before the game, and how they used to do Big East games together years ago. Then the conversation switched to Rondo and how he has a knack for holding the ball and trying to wait until he made a pass that led directly to a FG. So either he knows this from watching C's games or from Gorman directly. I don't think it's any secret that announcers tell each other things that would help them discuss the other team on air.
So with all the ball movement, why are they 7-15 without Rondo?
And with an easier schedule than the Rondo period.
Uh, talent? It's about the same record wise, no?
9-14 versus 7-15. You would think with the great ball movement the record would have improved.
Pretty [dang] close though. You would think we would be a lot worse replacing Rondo and Green for basically Crowder and Prince. Regardless, the ball movement is better. We might not have one guy racking up assists, but we probably average the same, if not more, collectively.
