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

I wish I could watch.

Dayum.

RJ Hunter sounds (and looks, from his highlights) like such a steal with his playmaking ability and smarts to go with his size.

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?

Way better passer and scorer than Danny Green. Reminds me So much of a raw Klay. Just watch

To all the guys who were bagging in Ainge for the draft selections...

So far I think Rozier, Hunter and Mickey all look better than Winslow so far...and Thornton is starting to make a case for himself today as well lol

Marcus Smart might just build a whole city with such bricks

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.

My inner D.O.S. is coming out...

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.

See above. Good thing your opinion is necessarily authoritative...

Devil's advocate here.

Smart has said that his explosiveness isn't back yet.

I think his true shooting percentages haven't been bad at all (from memory and impression of boxscores).

Plus, one bad game for several good games. Those who are insanely consistent (PP) are the exception (even among stars) and not the rule.

Surprisingly good going to the hoop and passing. Doesn't look lost on D either. Very happy with the pick.

Did Marcus Smart and Marcus Thornton switch bodies?

Plus J Holmes looks good...and I like Perry Jones...not enough roster spots here. Pressey and Babb gone, maybe as part of Lee trade.

How am I being biased? My one and only hoby is following Celtics and my favorite player is Smart after IT4.
