Celtics (6-2) at Pacers (6-3) Game #9 11/3/18

[Neurotic Guy]

Come on Smart -- now you choose to heave up a 3?

They finally call that moving screen
 Smart should not have the same number of shots as Kyrie in any game.

[Kuberski33]

Good Lord, Smart, what kind of shot is that?

That would be a brick - which is his specialty

I hope you aren't blaming Smart for that. 7 shots is fine for Smart, Kyrie needs to be shooting more though

[SCeltic34]

How does that happen?  This game has been painful to watch.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Anyone else thrilled that Evans and Sabonis just left the game?

And 1 minute later, Sabonis comes back in for Turner.

Smart is a funny guy

[Vox_Populi]

I love Smart....but does he know he's a bad shooter?

[liam]

Is Brad just using Kyrie as a defender now? Not a good use of personal...

[nickagneta]

C's have played great defense tonight but the story of the game is Indy 17 made FTs, Boston 5.

[BitterJim]

Brown!

[jpotter33]

THAT is the type of three Brown should be taking, not fastbreak pull-up wing threes.

[keevsnick]

5-3 and no score....

Because - you guessed it - we took a less-than-ideal three pointer, though admittedly it's more about *who* took the shot.

Shooters like Kyrie, Gordon, Morris, or Tatum are fine taking those types of fastbreak threes, but that's not the type of shot Brown should be taking.

That is exactly the shot brown should be taking. Its a good shot.

Nope. Brown is a set three point shooter. His three point percentage was higher last year because he took more corner threes.

Ya, literally everybodies percentage is higher form the corner. And if you only look at above the break shots brown would still be above average from 3 last year. Also, Morris is a 36% 3 pnt shooter on his career, he is hot this year but if you argument is Brown is a set shooter than so is Morris. Or Tatum for that matter who lived on set shots last year.

It helps when you are going to the basket unlike the Celtics.

[Kuberski33]

should be an 'and one' on Al's shot
