Playing at altitude after long series cannot be easy. Heat could get swept. How nice would it be to have a PG that distributes the ball?
The Smart experiment should have ended a couple of years ago.
Smart would have made a great sixth man. I agree. PG is a glaring weakness especially in the playoffs.
A big part of the problem with this team is that Smart views himself as part of a "Big 3." I love his competitiveness, and he could indeed help a team to a title, but not this team. He doesn't have the ball handling skills to run the offense in crunch time, which IMO is a big contributor to our massive late-game chokes. But since Wyc and Brad consider him part of the Big 3, he's always on the court in the big moments, when sometimes he shouldn't be.
And he's a big personality. I feel like sometimes he sucks up all the air in a room.
He is unintentionally undermining the pecking order on this club, and undermining the development of our stars.
