Clarkson is a much better player than Ball. The Lakers blew the game by taking him out down the stretch.
Supposedly he can't play defense but he had twice as many steals as Smart despite 8 less minutes. And he had the same number of rebounds (so far) despite all of Smart's intensity
Pretty sure Kyrie leads the league in steals so far. By this logic, he's then clearly the best defender in the league.
Only a fool would make the implication that Clarkson is a better defender than Smart.
Let's say Clarkson is playing Smart one on one to 100. Clarkson shoots 51% and Smart shoots 31%. Quick. Who played better defense?
Clarkson shoots significantly better from 3 point land than Smart shoots overall. He's that much better.
One guy doesn't drag his team down. The other does.
You are trying to avoid answering him lol. Getting more steals doesnt mean you are the better defender. Im pretty sure Kyrie Irving isnt the best defender in the NBA.
People are avoiding me on this one, aren't they? The Celts forced more TOs. I give him that. He did well on assists to TOs and he got a block. But Smart is to shooting what Tebow is to throwing a football.
again, your logic....first you talk defense, now you talk offense as if your argument was connected. maybe let's all follow the lead of another poster and go get some wine.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
