Celtics (0-0) vs Utah Jazz (0-0) Jazz SL Game 1 7/6/15

[positivitize]

Where'd all the Smart hate come from? He's owning this game. He's the only one of our guys who's showed up.

First impressions of RJ Hunter are not pretty.

Looks like he'll get a healthy dose of Maine this year.

Exum is abusing Smart now.

Update on offensive abilities: Smart drove and got badly blocked by a scrub. Smart drove again and hit straight backboard on a reverse layup attempt.

LarBrd33 is that you again you ole rascal!

Seriously, though, why not recognize the many more good things he's done than bad things?

He can't get into any rhythm because either smart is shooting 3's or fair is driving.  It's sloppy.  I'd sit them both 4th quarter

He just stands there. So does Young. How about working yourself open?

[hardlyyardley]

His Ga St teammate is outscoring him

He called foul which makes me think hes frustrated cause that looked like an easy finish. Now he throws up a wild attempt.

Anyone else disappointed in Smart and Young in this game?

Smart is hoisting too many 3's

Young looks like it's his rookie year.

Not following the box score but feels like he's shooting sub 30 percent

Smart is 5-15, 2-8 from 3

Smart's been very aggressive since his outside shots stopped falling.  Questionable shot selection at times but otherwise he';s been terrific.

Smart trying to lead by example, can't fault that.  First game so there will be some fatigue and chemistry issues all around.  Young is terrible.

Exum has been the player showing more game. Kind of surprised. Smart needs to expand his game.

It'll be interesting how Smart furthers his career.  It's SUPER early, obviously.  But I was sorta hoping we'd see less 3s, more drives and mid-range...not so much.  It immediately makes me think of Rasheed Wallace.  How often did we hear "SHEED, GO TO THE POST!" in his career?  He knew he was unstoppable down there, but for whatever reason, he just never did it as much as he should.

I'm really hoping we don't see a version of Smart like this where we're constantly yelling "SMART, DRIVE!" or "SMART, STOP CHUCKING UP 3s"...luckily, I think Marcus Smart might have a bit more work ethic than Rasheed, and is a little more coachable.  So hopefully, sooner rather than later, it will click with Smart that chucking up 3s is doing his team a disservice.

The game some of you guys watch to match your narratives must be on a different channel than the one I'm watching.

[walker834]

Marcus is beast!

[cltc5]

Geez sit smart already before he kills himself and is out for the year!

Yeah really liked Hunter coming out of this draft, but he's disappointing me at this point. Fair needs to swing that ball instead of jacking up some ugly ass throw up shot. Nobody is finding him in transition either so it's not like the team is helping at all. At least he's playing D well in 1 on 1 situations, looks good rotating, and in help.
