Beautiful video to watch.  I missed seeing him cause havoc this game because he had to be glued to Korver but boy did he do a great job on him.  The way he gets around those screens is just unreal.

TP to you.

His defense is great but he has a long long way to go on offense for a Havlicek or Pippen comparison.  His shot selection is just atrocious.

More like John Havlicek.

i really believe Smart has the ability to shut down any guard. I'm excited to see him (and Bradley) square off against Klay and Steph this year.

Well, Pippen (while more skilled offensively than Smart) was never a good shooter.  It's part of the reason he didn't mesh that well with Hakeem and Barkley at the end of his career.  They basically asked him to be a jump shooter on the weakside and he struggled.

I can't wait to see Smart guard Westbrook tonight.

I was not talking about Smart's offense. I was talking about his defense.
It is very similar to Havlicek's.
