Every time he drives me up the wall as a PG, I remember that he's a great defender and he gets stops.

Just saw this, could really be Smart’s year if the Celtics cap it off with a title

He definitely deserves it.  As I've said dozens of times, I was really down on Smart last season, because the elite defense and the hustle was wildly inconsistent, sometimes non-existent.  This year he's been amazing for the past four or five months.

Let’s face it: His only competition is Time Lord if he can stay healthy, and maybe Herbert Jones in the future. We are blessed.
