Not too  many complaints tonight.  It's always fun when they win. too
Yeah, not too many.  Dysfunctional bench except JRich.

You made a good point then suggested Kemba/Fournier...  ::)

Smart had a really solid game.  I really like how he's played since he returned.  Not chucking up a bunch of bad shots.  Still with characteristic sloppy turnovers at times but he's been a huge plus overall.

Al with an average Al game.

JT with 7 assists, only 2 TO. Good to see.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He bricked a few horrible ones tonight.

He’s been stringing together some good games where he looks like a solid PG. I’ve been really against Smart as a PG but his play has me doubting myself. Maybe part of it is because it’s just night and day when you compare him vs Schroder (who is a PG)

I really like it when Smart initiates or gets involved in early action (like setting the first screen). If the ball goes through Smart AND Tatum early, the possession is usually good (whether the shot goes in at the end though is another matter)

6 shot attempts in 30 minutes is fine by me.  Beats past games where he'd have 12+ while JB would have the same number of attempts.

As Thanos would like it, all things should be perfectly balanced.

Celtics are 26-25? Time to get back to .500 lol  :laugh:

Agreed. Smart with under 8 shots a game is such a good player. Not going to get my hopes up and start thinking that he’s realised this.

Has happened before, and it’s only led to disappointment.

Get this team another shooter.  It will make a huge difference.  I heard Kemba and Fournier are available

Can those guys still shoot? Kemba looked fairly cooked when he was here.

Fournier still can. He just looks confused in NY. You think he’ll accept a bench role now?

You just never know with this team. They are fully capable of showing up and getting an impressive win on Monday and just as capable of putting up one of the worst games of the year instead, or a mix of both by leading the whole way and blowing it badly in the 4th. It doesn't even seem to matter who they are playing.
