Pistons (19-16) at Celtics (19-15) Game #35 1/6/16

[max215]

These refs have waited to see if the shot falls all game. It's either a foul or it's not, make a dang call.

Smart 1-5

3 of those shots were 3 point bail out shots after other people dribbled away the clock. One was a miss but he got fouled. By my count, he took 1 bad shot that half. I can live with it. He'll find is range and he wont always be shooting contested bailout threes.

excuses.

Smart gotta hit some shots soon. Maybe he can hit a few jumpers in the second.

Maybe we can give him a few games back to find his shot?

Almost a year and half of bad shooting.

Not giving up. Just getting tired of the poor shooting.

He's not a shooter yet.  But he's not complete as a driver or passer either.  These are skilled to be developed.  I believe he'll develop.  He's young, intense, assertive, hard worker.

Good points. He's also determined to the point that he does stupid things out of frustration.

and yet the C's are a better team with him on the floor.  go figure.  imagine how much better the C's would be if he weren't as incompetent as you make him out to be.

Boo hoo. Lol.

All I said was he ain't shooting it well. How can you argue that?

I believe you also mentioned the bolded part above.  your overall tone towards his play has been negative which I find hypocritical coming from someone using the moniker "keepRondo".  complaining about Smart's shooting in comparison to Rondo's is at best head-scratching as well as doing stupid things out of frustration

He does stupid things when frustrated. Stop me when I say something wrong. I have also said Smart can be dynamic at times.

 

well there you go.  a nice dynamic move Smart taking that charge

We all know he could dominate. Just a matter of fixing his shot or not.

Why shoot three?  I like him when he posts up.

So post up every play?

Worst call all season

No that was the earlier "foul" by Smart on Jackson for 3 fts which was probably the worst call I've ever seen. But this one was bad too so it says a lot about the crew

Pretty common for NBA refs to do that. They don't want to make hard calls unless it looked like it mattered.

Wow IT is 1-13

[SCeltic34]

Refs should be fined for late whistles

they should be fined fired for poor officiating

Fixed

There are so many missed calls in sports that it is pointless to talk about 'worst call'.

I said I will give refs benefit of the doubt and I will... they are blind, it isn't their fault, they don't hire themselves!

[SHAQATTACK]

Not liking the way things going right now .....refs ganging up

Bench has been awful

Start there. Go back from time to time when the other things aren't working.

Come on fellas!

Nets update: it's 79-67, Toronto.

[LarBrd33]

The olynyk and amir pairing has always made the most sense to me... even before we brought in Amir.  I was a fan of bringing in a defensive big (ideally noel... but even someone like WCS or Biyombo had to be considered) paired next to Olynyk.   We went for Amir... and it's cool to see them playing minutes together.

This spells doom for Sully's trade value, though.  I felt like we were playing him early on to showcase him a bit.  I still feel like he's going to be moved, though... can't imagine us giving him a big contract.

[Neurotic Guy]

This lineup is just wrong.  Sully with 2 important shots, but this lineup is not doing anything offensively.
