Marcus has 4 pts, 2 rebounds and 3 assists but is at +22 on the game.

Avery has 23 pts, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, but is only at +7...

Marcus has such a positive effect when he's on the floor regardless of whether he's scoring or not

That's it ....the intensity I meter pegs when he is out there

absolutely.  love that about him.

No question about it.  If you evaluated Smart based on traditional stats, you'd think he was a terrible player.  Quite the opposite.

hard to believe Portland gave up on Barton.   kid looks pretty darn good since going to Denver last year

[esel1000]

[esel1000]

Guys feed off his crazy energy.  ...KO seems to get going easier with him out there

[esel1000]

Fouling JJ on a 3 might be the dumbest thing you can do lol

[jpotter33]

Bradley dribbling with his head down and not seeing Turner lol

Good look by Smart to see JJ in the corner by himself.

[Surferdad]

LOL, Smart avoided advancing the ball to Turner in the corner and chose to swing it the other way.

IMHO, I think that KO plays better with Smart because Smart isn't looking to score like IT is so KO seems to play more aggressive on O.  just how it seems to me lately

[Celtic Fan Forever]

This isn't good. We need another run to close this out.

[jpotter33]

So, I love that we have a competitive team with a great environment for young players right now, but I'm really worried about how much we're stunting Smart's growth with this team. Playing him mainly off the ball with Turner is not really helping him long-term, and I wonder how much we're trading short-term benefits for long-term benefits there.
