What a **** pathetic game from Smart.

Five straight negative posts on Smart later, but you're not a hata...

Is this little boys ymca game were we can't criticize?

Brad really hasn't done a good job at times with his rotations.  Easy to be an armchair critic I know.  But that lineup he trotted out to start the 4th was terrible.

[slamtheking]

what a dumb foul by Morris.  that's the type of play that makes Smart special.  too bad he botched the FT

That is a low standard for special.

those types of hustle plays causing other teams to make mistakes.  few players in this league hustle like that.

Sure, but there are tons of things other players do that he doesn't. Does everyone have to be a special snowflake?

most are not.  Smart's hustle stands out.

Painful loss.

And Kelly needs to hit that 3.

Tough when you come off the bench and your first play is shooting a three.  Brad iced him.  IT and Turner iced him.

Terrible game. I'm done with this team. Wake me up after the playoffs.

So, see you tomorrow night at the Bulls?

[jpotter33]

We didn't deserve this win after how we played and shot free throws. Once again, Stevens deserves blame, too, with his freaking reluctance to change that ridiculous lineup to start the fourth. I'm really getting tired of having to question Stevens' rotations dang near every game.

That was a bad one. Hopefully Brad gets super p---ed again and the guys go out and win tomorrow/Danny offers his soul to Vlade for Boogie.

Only real problem I saw was CBS icing KO in the 2nd Q. He sat him almost that entire Q.

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing bums.  I can't wait to make some trades.  This is garbage.

[greece66]

our leading scoring only started scoring in the 4th quarter. it's hard to win like this.

No, it's called being fair. The Johnson three was clearly a mistake on Turner's part, but since you have an agenda against Smart, you blamed him. It's called confirmation bias.

This happens, guys.  The Celts are a BAD offensive team. 

They put up points in a hurry at times because they execute Brad's system quite well and play at a fast pace.  But they just don't have the talent or the shooters to get much beyond 90 points some nights.

Gonna need some more talented frontcourt players (and better health / shooting in the backcourt) in order to get closer to offensive potency.

Sad loss. And at home. With Bradley not playing, and IT struggling it was inevitable some time during the game they would stop scoring for long spells.
