I can't wait until he gets to play with other superstars.

okay, tied at the half. as long as the celtics are ahead or close, i believe they will win. CBS will work his magic when needed. 

so, a tp for anyone who gives me a cliff's notes version of the first 20 minutes of the game. especially what sort of shots was smart taking to brick the place up?

Keep liking what I see from Rozier.

He's so active defensively, on the boards and on offense.  Really like that he seems to have a "drive it first" mentality.

Reminds me almost of a young, poor man's Russell Westbrook.  Just in terms of his physical explosiveness/quickness, and his motor on both ends of the court.

Smart 0-6

Omg

yeah, he has really stunk it up for a week or so. this is not typical, so i wonder is something is either going on or he might be injuried.

Or he is just not that good of a offensive player?? Not sure why just because Smart's playing bad the Celtic community automatically turns to injury to explain why he's playing bad offensively. He's just not a good offensive player.

He's not a good offensive player but I don't think he's as bad as he's been lately. Like hes been preety god awful lately. He's probably pressing at this point as well.

Right now, he genuinely is a really poor offensive player. 

Not as bad as his stats suggest (I think he's just going through a funk) but pretty bad regardless.

I have faith in him to improve on that in time, because I think he has the work ethic and the mentality and will work tirelessly until he does so.  But I just don't see a lot of offensive potential there.  I think if he can develop into an average offensive player (i.e. not a liability on that end) then that might be about the limit.  I do think he has probably a tad more offensive potential than Tony Allen (just because he is so much better a passer, ball handler) but I don't know beyond that.  I Hope he can prove me wrong though.

i understand what you are saying. normally he is a poor shooter. but the last week is beyond the pale. it is beyond he normal poor to mediocre offense. 0-6, 1-11, this is NOT the norm.

just as if he were to suddenly for a week shoot 9-11 and 8-8, i would say "aint normal". recently really is not typical for him.

I've got to say, I felt genuine anger when I saw Zeller check in the game today.
