I知 a Smart hater

[wayupnorth]

Smart will (probably) never be a good offensive player but tonight is a perfect example of why he痴 an invaluable piece to a championship team. He makes winning plays.

Ohhhh yeeeaaahhhhh. In the playoffs....he is totally gonna stop Bron. And before that he'll probably stop DeMare DeRozen or Kyle Lowry or something. And then in the finals he'll totally coral Steph Curry. Totally looking forward to it.

lololol for real, are you that fan that yelled at Marcus back in college?

Ok. That's kinda funny.

And, as someone who enjoys your posting(outside of the crazy smart hate), I feel you just might be that dude.

If I remember correctly that guy yelled something maybe racial at Smart when Smart was an unpaid 20 year old kid. I'm not that guy. Smart has a job now and that job isn't to show up at the end of games that are close.

For real:

Do you think the fact that Brad, continually over 4 or 5 years, plays Marcus at the end of games, and refers to him as a winner, is because Brad is dumb or because you are just that much smarter than him?

Smart is quite clearly our 3rd best player. Tatum is making quite the argument, but Smart is clear #3.

Quit hating because you want him to be some score 30 points give up 35 guy.

Smart is our third best player now? After who? Hayward and Kyrie?

You don't have to totally believe every single thing Brad or Ainge say. Their offseason actions will say way more.

Considering Gordon can't play, Kyrie, Al, Marcus, Jayson.

I don't find that controversial.

Lol so are you saying that if another team offers Marcus 22 a year and we don't match, it is an indictment on Smart?

Just admit it, you dislike Smart for reasons beyond basketball, and no matter what he does that will remain the case

22 a year for Smart. That is very funny.

And as usual, what point are you trying to make then?

Oh you just want to complain?

Alright.

[GreenWarrior]

umm smart is the 3rd best player on this team.

I think he shouldn't have plays run for him on the offensive end and hate the amount of times he takes a shot in a game when a much better offensive option like tatum is usually on the floor at the same time.

but as bad as he is offensively, he is our 3rd best player. if someone really needs convincing of this maybe watch a game or 2.

Yes. He cheated me at cards once and then he insisted that Keynesian economics were a good thing right after speaking highly of Neitchke.

Are you referring to Friedrich Nietzsche, the German existential philosopher? If so, that's probably the most hilarious spelling of his name that I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few variations. lol

(Not poking fun at you; it's a legitimately hard name to spell. Just found that humorous.)

No, he was definitely talking about the late Ray Nitschke. Beyond his writing prowess, he was a pretty good linebacker.

I was NOT making the effort to spell that name correctly. He's dead.

I would speak highly of that linebacker.

I think he shouldn't have plays run for him on the offensive end and hate the amount of times he takes a shot in a game when a much better offensive option like tatum is usually on the floor at the same time.

but as bad as he is offensively, he is our 3rd best player. if someone really needs convincing of this maybe watch a game or 2.

There are people that watch the games regularly that say publicly that Marcus Smart is a better basketball player than Tatum or a healthy Jaylen? Or Horford?

Rozier I can absolutely understand. But those guys?

It's close.

Kyrie is the clear #1, and Horford is the clear #2. I think Hayward and Horford are somewhat similar in terms of relative value (can't include Hayward b/c he's not playing for us this year).

After that, you could make the case for: Smart, Tatum, Brown, and maybe, maybe Morris. At this point, it is pretty subjective in my eyes.

So the team traded out IT and KO left. 
The team is significantly better this year.

You see the big difference between this year and last as essentially the improvement of Smart? Is that sorta what you're implying?

Like after the upgrade from IT to Kyrie the next biggest thing is Smart's play?

Marcus is certainly a better player than either Jaylen or Jaysen right now.

1 is Kyrie, 2 is Horford, 3 is Smart.

If Gordon were healthy he would push Marcus to 4.

What are you trying to say?

Nope. I'm not convinced that the team is significantly better than last year. There's still 43 games to play, and the Celtics hold a slight edge as the #1 team in the East. They have a better record at this point, but I don't necessarily think that they will beat CLE in the ECF.

I do think that the combo of Brown/Tatum/Baynes has helped as well.

I think Brown and Tatum will eventually be better than Marcus, but I'm not sure of that right now. I also said that I think its close, and an argument could be made for a couple of these players as the #3. If Hayward was healthy, we'd be talking about who are our 4/5/6th best players.

I am saying I am in shock that anyone would ever suggest that Smart is even borderline in the same league as Tatum or Jaylen.  Better defender? Maybe.

Tatum is going to play in many many all star games. Jaylen could easily make a couple.

Smart won't ever get near one unless some sort of bizarre scenario happens. I mean Wally Z and Jameer Nelson both made one so maybe he could make one, maybe. Maybe. But probably not.

We are talking right now, and right now, Smart is clearly better than either

Go ahead and keep moving the goalposts, everyone can see what you are trying to do.

We are, but someone else is just trying to find new ways to criticise Smart.
