Unbelievably bad call.

Not even a hyperbole that may be the worst call I've ever seen

Good call by the refs.  Once again, they got it right.

Bet they don't see it that way over on the Rocket threads  ;D

Love the attempt at penetration by Smart. Keep going for it, kid!

  • About five seconds after 17 O'clock!!
If that was an offensive foul on Smart, then Reggie Miller should have never made it past the first quarter of a game before fouling out.

I think that was the first time Smart stepped inside the three point line on offense all night.

I dont think he kicked his leg out on purpose.

At the half of this Rockets game Marcus Smart is the 15th most impactful player tonight. Virtually every player that has touched the court tonight has had a bigger impact on the game than him. I wish I could say this isn't very common.

He's got to get the minutes and the touches to be impactful. They give him no role in the offense, and his minutes have been spotty.
His minutes have been spotty because he hasn't done anything with them. There are several other players tonight that have played similar minutes and look like they actually belong in the NBA. He looks like he belongs at OK St or possibly the D League

Righhhtttttt.
So you think he's just ready to go. Just ready to be a big piece but Stevens is just messing around with his minutes because.....no good reason?  Pressy is the better NBA player right now. They're giving him more minutes than he deserves already. He's not going to be on the all rookie team despite all the injuries. As of this moment he's a bust.
Only in the realm of trolls is Pressey better than Smart right now. Absolute nonsense.
Pressy doesn't suck completely when he plays and that's the difference. Smart flashes some good defensive ability here and there and that's about it, and no amount of wishful thinking or denial changes that.

This isn't what anyone signed up for with this guy, not by a long shot. He has a long ways to go.

Houston only scored nine points that quarter.  That was an exceptional quarter by the C's.  Gotta give Stevens some credit.

Really really really wish we could get some Smart and Young playing time at the same time. Why is Young even here if Brad isn't going to play him? Why isn't he in Maine getting reps?

honest question: even supposing this was an offensive foul, why doesnt Smart's 3point count?
It is an offensive foul, no basket. It's the old Reggie Miller move, and now they call that leg thing more these days.

If that was an offensive foul on Smart, then Reggie Miller should have never made it past the fist quarter of a game before fouling out.

I think it's called the Reggie Miller rule because of him.

The NBA made a rule change on that play because of Miller and his epigones.  Unfortunately, Smart would rather bait the refs on making a foul call than drive to the hoop.
