Whomever is hot, we do not have an alpha dog so a pack attack would be best each night, whomever is hot for that game.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Hopefully Brad figures this out, because it sure as heck isn't Rondo.

Marcus smart should be given that responsibility from his next game onwards.
He's developing the shot, and has the ability and killer instinct to get to the hole.
If he's going to become a franchise player then give him the ball now.

  How sure are you that he's going to become a franchise player?

I'm not sure, I just said 'if' we want him to be a franchise guy, he should be given the ball now.
 As Brad Stevens said- when the game is on the line, I want Marcus Smart out there.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Yup.  He's an ace on spot up shots and a flat out scorer with huge stones  ;D

Now prepare for the mockery

I agree.

In his SacTo days he hit some clutch shots.

I really want us to keep him in the long run. He could be an excellent scoring option off the bench.

Turner and Thornton for me.

Both have a lot more experience and success taking end of the game shots than anyone else on our team.

The exception could be Rondo who gets stuck with the ball in his hands at the end of quarters and games, the D sags off him, not respecting his shot, and most of the time he doesn't score. Not sure if the stats back this up or its just an unfounded perception. Sure feels that way though.

Not sure that translates as, "I want Marcus Smart taking the last shot."
