Smart post up...stop shooting 3s
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

I hate the 3 point shot fast break.

Lol oh Smart.

i understand that two of our starters are out, but we look extremely disjointed offensively.

Reminds me that we don't run the Smart post play anymore.  That play often got us a good look from somewhere on the court.  It was a good play.

What is up with these no look passes? The last few games they've had so many turnovers passing without even looking? How is this not being coached out of them?

It appears the strategy is have Smart shoot 20+ threes and hope he's hot?

Welp, at least we're consistent. Our defense looks just as bad as our offense.

Shorthanded or not this is inexcusable.  This is worse than G-league level.

Yup.  1/3 of our FG attempts are Smart 3's.

Lol I mean, these aren't great shots by Smart, but kudos to him for actually stepping up and making a few of them when nothing else is working and our two star players have been futile.

Waters is about to check in. The kid knows how to run a team. Hopefully the C's can go on a run.

Alright, make your bets now. Over/under 17.5 three point attempts from Smart tonight? We're already at 7.

I'm taking the over.

As bad as they have played, there is still a LOT of time left. I wouldn't rule out a Celtic win.
