Smart is low key putting up an amazing season this year. He already has as many win shares as he did the entire last season (on about 1,000 less minutes played).
I think the extension and commitment that Ainge made to him has given him some extra confidence and desire (didn't know he had any room to improve here).
Smart scores zero points tonight against Atlanta yet was so influential in the game. I think his presence settles the team down a lot.
Meh...not sure I agree with this. Yes, he had a good game but influential is a bit much. He played his role and played it really well.
I agree with ozgod. Smart's leadership on the floor is incalculable. I think he has a big, positive influence on the way the rest of the team plays. Influential, I think, is a terrific word for what Smart does.
