Pathetic double team. How can you not give more help than that!

How does this young crop compare to the Perkins, Jefferson, West, Gomes class?

RJ is such a smart player. He got his nerves out of the way the first two games, and since then he's been great. Danny Green type player eventually? Klay Thompson-lite?
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I think Marcus Smart caught whatever James Young has.

Lack of talent?

Talent has never been an issue for James Young.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

Yep, Thornton fixed his shot somehow.

These rooks just need to slow down and see a couple of balls go through the hoop.

Nice cross court pass by RJ Hunter off the dribble & drive.

We should sign that fat guy and just let him hang around Sully, so Jared would look small for once.

Pretty soon Smart is going to be shooting 20 percent for summer league. At what point do we just conclude that Smart is a terrible shooter.

After all of this time watching this, have you still not caught on that it's a problem of shot selection not him shooting? He's shown that he can shoot the ball. He's just displayed horrible shot selection. Even the best shooters have off days...

We shouldn't be having this argument every single game...
Why? He's terrible at getting space when driving so those threes are his only open looks. Happens almost every game so yeah I bring it up.

The real problem, if you'd like to know, is that smart can't get better shots consistently.  As was said earlier in this thread, that's why smart settles.  Because those are about the best shots he can get.  And defenses are happy to give them to him.
