I don't think that Smart should be shooting the same amount of 3s as Brogdon, Grant, and Hauser combined. Also, Blake shouldn't shoot 0-5 on 3 point shots. The right guys need to be shooting.

Brogdon- 48%

Hauser- 43%

Grant- 46%

You've gotta respect a 15-percent 3-point shooter. A guy like that is always lethal.

I don’t know what you’re talking about? He’s the best no-no-no-yes shooter we’ve had since Evan Turner!

He’s taking shots because he’s left open. You want the open guy shooting if he has a good look. Unfortunately Marcus thinks every shot he takes was a good look, it would be helpful if he could knock them down.

There’s a reason you’re wide open, Marcus.

Yep. Least Blake stopped shooting after missing a bunch last night. Smart will just continue to fire away when he’s ice cold. Definitely need to get Brogdon more involved on the offensive end.

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's better at driving the ball. If he's open drive! He's always a better player toward the end of the game.

In general I agree Smart’s usually at his best when he takes fewer 3s.

For perspective, tho, it’s not like he bricked all night. Last night he was 4-11, which is 36.4%. That’s not elite but it’s above league average.
