What the heck was that? What the heck...was ...that? Jump over his own man? Almost break his wrist in the process? That was stupid. Physics much?

Again, confirmation bias. Horford pushes Sully under Smart when he goes up for the layup, but it's Smart's fault?
No. Jerebko was there. Occupying space. So Smart runs right into him, then launches through the air like a fool and gets lucky with the call.

Okay. Whatever you say. Horford clearly pushes Sully under Smart and gets called for the foul, but, yeah, you're right. Stupid Smart...

The thing with Smart is that most are expecting too much as he was such a high draft pick.. Does he really ply up to the number 6 pick? probably not but most top 10 picks usually dont either.. However he can be a lockdown defender, guy with unlimited hustle, and if he can work on scoring with the ball in his hand he can be an Avery Bradley type of player putting up 15ppg with better rebounding..

But he's not a hard worker. If he was he would have improved. Instead he regressed knowing full well what he needed to work on

See, this is just trolling. There's absolutely no indication that Smart is anything but an excellent worker with a superb work ethic. That's been his MO his whole career and everyone that has played with or coached him has said this exact thing. Saying he's not a hard worker is absolutely baseless and fueled just by contempt for him.

I wouldnt say that... Ever watch him in pregame warmups... I have seen him literally hit every shot so it shows that he works on his shot... now he needs to translate that to game time..

I simply do not believe it is possible to work very hard on a short coming ...especially with this supposed legendary work ethic...and then regress.

Smart is clearly not as good as you think he is but also better than Eja gives him credit for.

It is entertaining watching the back and forth between two posters who are wrong about Smart.

It's also fun watching narcissists who've been here for all of two minutes complement themselves and criticize others.  ::)

Smart is a great player. He's just not as good or close to what you have him.

What's Smart's +/- for this series, I wonder?

He's +11 tonight.

Marcus may have saved the game for us by knocking Milllsap out of his rhythm.
