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.
yeah, I still dont like it tho.

People still irrationally drooling over Dunn, who has been pretty disappointing thus far?

I'm not too impressed with Dunn.

So, it's crazy how much a playmaking big can help your offense, huh? Horford's playmaking ability that allows the offense to run smoothly and efficiently is just crazy. I don't think anyone realized how much he'd help in that regard.

I did a thought experiment in which Horford might be able to fill 2008 KG shoes. That got some guffaws. They are somewhat different players, but maybe Al Horford is being seriously underrated as an NBA force.

I am going to stick to my prediction that the next two games including this one are easy wins. We are toying with Minnesota. They showed all they have in the first five minutes. They are not ready to win many games. Thibs is a genius, but he'll need some time to figure it out and those players age a bit.

Rebound ?
I don't even think about it anymore. Not in the team's lexicon.

We've been pretty careless with the ball. Smart has been uncharacteristically bad with taking care of the ball, though I think he's been wrongly given some TO's and doesn't really already have 5.

To quote someone else: Zeller and Olynyk are softer than a pillow in a tub of lotion.
