Can we all agree that Smart is just a totally different player than he was ten games ago??

It's really encouraging to see that he's regaining confidence and rhythm now as he works his way back from injury.

Jumper still isn't in evidence, but he's finding ways to get in a groove without it, which is a great sign.

Well, I've noticed that he's shooting/looking for the three WAY less now and looking to drive a lot more. Like we were all wondering last year, I wonder if he's had a change in strategy from the coaching, and they've told him to focus on penetration and passing more this year than his shooting. Because it really just seems like he's flipped a switch.

Finally getting to be the ball-handler would help with this a lot, too.

I've never liked Sully on Gasol, we should double team whenever that occurs.

Smart made both those plays with a little swagger I've never seen from him before. Frieken beautiful.

I was hoping for more condescension and homerism from Tommy re: Blatt there.

It seems like the prole saying that all he needed was to be handed the keys were right (granted, he's only been handed the keys to the second unit)

I agree. His DNA as a bball player is to be a ballhandler.  He struggles to remain involved on offense playing off the ball unless he just hoists up threes rather indiscriminately.  Letting him completely run the offense for stretches is important.

This is, again, why Turner's presence is a bit problematic.  Turner's in the same boat.

I wish we had a backup 3 that could shoot (I don't count Young, he can't play

I can tell when Turner isn't going to pass it.

Really nice to see Smart playing well. I hope he settles less for 3's moving forward and looks to be more aggressive on O.

Ooh, nice move by Pau.  Zeller's not equipped to handle that.

This is why Zeller keeps eating the bench... Gasol got in there too easily.
