Smart... if you're going to flop so much, gotta be a little better at it

He needs to stop. He was starting to get a bit more calls from the refs. Doubt that continues now.

Korver was in foul trouble and he was killing us late.  That was absolutely the right play by him to spectacularly flop.

Fined $5k for the flop

Hope he learns from it
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

well that was spectacular to watch LOL. I didn't think that was a flop initially during the game, I thought it was a legit foul/nudge

but after the game I rewatched it, it was clearly a flop lol

Yup.....you do what it takes to win ......Smart is like Pierce , Wade , KG , Stockton ......you do what is necessary to win the play offs ......any edge you get .....you take it may be the slight diff to win a game or series.

Good for Marcus .

No, the right play was to take the ball at Korver and force a foul. That play was bush league.

I think Smart legitimately hurt himself on that flop.

I'm not too happy with the antics but as long as he can throw a couple threes in and dish some assists then I can live with the nutty flops.

I apologize if others have made this comparison in the past and I just haven't seen it, but does Marcus remind anyone else of Tony Allen? Allen was even more athletic, but other than that, they have/had very similar games - neither one has a consistent outside shot, but they'll hit a big one every now and then, they both make their fair share of boneheaded plays, they're both outstanding defenders that can guard multiple positions, they're both unbelievably competitive and play extremely hard, and they're both tough as nails. Not to mention the obvious similarity in where they played in college.

All the time.

Defensive specialists with little or no offense who are boneheads. Allen got in a lot more trouble in Stillwater than Smart, though.

It's good that Ainge talked to him. The refs aren't loving him and it's hard to blame them. I just wish the local media would tone down the hype on him.  Before he played a game they were hailing him as the heir to rondo, leader of the team. He's a gutsy player that makes an ovcasional really awesome key play but just not a high iq guy. He scares the heck out of me with hero shots.
