Brown doesn't look comfortable out there. Looks like he's too busy trying not to mess up to play basketball.

Brown is getting minutes ahead of GG -- who is clearly the better player right now.   I think it's great that CBS is going to Brown and getting him some court time.  But... won't last if JB doesn't make progress.

Not loving Marcus's shot selection so far.

I also think Jaylen doesn't look comfortable out there yet. But the only way to get comfortable is with MORE MINUTES!

You could be right, but I'm not seeing it.  GG's been giving some good effort on D, and Brown's been baffled at times.   That said, I really want to see Brown on the court and hope he starts making some steady progress.   Right now I think he has stagnated.

Not able to watch the game but I'm following along with the ESPN box score.  My favorite stat so far is Horford's 8 shot attempts.  Nice to see!

God Smart doing exactly what we need. Making plays all over the place.

Really thought Al was hitting one of those 3s.

Better shooter right now too. GG hasn't done much since coming here, other than a few nifty passes.

Not loving Marcus's shot selection so far.

I think that's just something we're going to have to accept with Smart, similar to Westbrook. The "fire" and competitiveness that each plays with comes at a cost, which is questionable shot-selection at times, especially after they've made a few.

I'll take a couple of questionable shots for all of the other benefits his personality and fire gives you.
