Defenders are shooting 3.5% below their season average against Marcus Smart this season, a stellar number.

Last 10 games: Minus-9.1%

He's really been excellent during our run where we've won 10 out of 12. He's even a +53 during that time frame. Just a very good stretch for him.

Marcus Smart: "I’m playing some of the best defense that I’ve played my whole career."
I'd say opponents would prob agree.

Isaiah on Marcus Smart: "He's a special player. He's special because he has the things you can't teach."

Isaiah on Smart: "When he has the full package, he's a tough guard to handle. When he plays like that, I bet we win 100 percent of the time"

It's crazy how much hate this kid gets from his own team's fans.

Pay no mind on these fantasy basketball fanatics. Smart is here to stay until Danny say so.

Yeah, Boston fans like to think they're the best out there, but sometimes I wonder...

Yeah, he's been noticably fantastic recently. Great role player for us this season.

He's no Okafor or Randall

If only he could shoot as well as Julius Randle. He's definitely no Randle.

Marcus is the man...

Yet half the folks on this blog don't see what he brings.

Watch guys like Zach Lavine look like a deer in headlights guarding some punk on defense, while Marcus will guard anyone from Wade to Davis, from LeBron to Millsap...


I hope he stays in Green.

LOL

Randle is a punk...Smart could D him no chance could he D Marcus up.

Randle is a Faker kind of player, while Marcus is a Celtic through and through.
