I've convinced myself that Smart is a spot-up shooter.

Zeller needs a shot limit. He's never met a shot that he didn't like.

What frustrates me is that we aren't letting the rookies play any meaningful minutes and we probably will lose in the first round of the playoffs.

I don't see the point.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

There you go Smart. That was a good shot for you.
if he can hit another I feel a big second half. He looked ready to shoot to start the game.

I almost prefer when he doesn't hit a three in the first, because he always looks to penetrate more when he doesn't hit a three at the start of the game.

Compared to where he was prior to this 13 game stretch, I'll take that. Let's call it his baseline for now... nice to see them finally dropping, at least.

we need to blow them out in the 3rd this is a good chance for Rozier, Mickey, and RJ to get a shot.

I've convinced myself that Smart is a spot-up shooter.

His passing/vision is good to great
His drives are hit or miss, but he'll get better at finishing.
His shot is hit or miss, but he'll get more consistent.

I think, offensively at least, Smart has a lot going for him. He's also got a knack at being in the right place at the right time and making big shots/plays.
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

  • The Truth
we are killing them all around the field, keep them at bay, around 15 points, we are that better of a team today.
smart/crowder/bradley doing their thing on D, and the C's roll
but seriously, denver is handing it out for us, like they didn't learn anything from the away game.

i would love a nice traffic layup from smart  ;D
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

I don't see the point.

Why should the rookies play over guys who are maybe 2-3 years older than them?

Because Zeller and JJ are league scrubs.

Mudiay's shot looks a lot better than advertised.
