Good D by Brown.

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

Jaylen is much more decisive than Roz even when he makes mistakes. It bodes well.

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!!

You know I'm in. Smart is special.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

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.

Well if it's his shooting you're referring too, then yes, it's been disappointing.  But his ball handling and playmaking out of the PnR has improved dramatically.  Not every guard develops this even with many years in the league.  So he's improved offensively, but he's still an abysmal shooter.

I'm hoping that with his revised shooting form and more reps he'll eventually become a passable shooter.  Kyle Lowry, for example, shot well below 30% from 3 for his first 4 or so years.

That's like the 4th time someone's taken a shot with their foot on the line. That needs to stop
I'm bitter.

Crowder bailed Smart out with that rebound
I'm bitter.

This game might be the end of any deals involving Smart or Roz for Noel. I can't imagine they would want either after tonight.

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.

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.

Agree. Him and Brad need to go take some tape of Andre Miller and takes some notes. Smart is more athletic, but overall I think he could become a very similar player.

There needs to be a rule for Smart that he cannot shoot the three unless he is WIDE open, it's on a kick out, and he's taken and made at least one shot from inside the arc.

Smart needs to be the backup pg full time, Rozier at the 2

God, these refs are absolutely incompetent. There are two completely different standards on each end of the floor. How is what Horford just did ANY DIFFERENT than what Ilyasova did on the other end?!
