We're giving up a lot of open threes tonight it seems. No problem with that, but Avery is such a great shooter now.

We need to fix this Smart situation real quick. Either don't shoot 3s or he should get yanked like Brown. The only difference between Brown and Smart at this point is that Smart is a very good defender.

That's a huge difference

It's sad that the 6th pick in the draft who is in his 3rd year has not improved one bit one the offensive end. I excepted much more from a 6th overall pick. He has been a bust to this point. Great defense and effort no doubt but that would be good if he was the 15th pick not 6th.

2nd chance points!

This is the product of how Brad is playing him. He doesn't jack up threes like that when he's running the offense. He gets others involved. But when they play him as a spot up shooter that's how he plays.

It's so stupid and obvious. It's just crazy that Brad continues to play him like that.

Good D by Brown.

Let's see if he can take advantage of Roz's poor play.

Great D, Jaylen and JJ.

[BitterJim]

Brown's playing in the second half? Wow

[jpotter33]

Look what happens - Smart runs the offense in the 4th and two scores from him on scoring or assists, and not on 3's. Good freaking grief, Brad, realize this!!

[Surferdad]

Bang a 3 Al!

Brown's playing in the second half? Wow

I'm surprised and happy. I think good things happen when the kid plays.

We need to get some open looks for jerebko.

Or maybe he needs to be open for full 5 secs before he takes a 3

Can we have a dedicated Smart-Crime thread? Way easier

LarBrd33 alternate account I assume?

You're not watching the games if you think he hasn't improved. His ballhandling, passing, and court vision are all much improved. He just can't shoot, yet we're playing him as a spot-up shooter.

I know we're focused on our Cs, but any early thoughts on Luwawu-Cabarrot?
