Augustin has literally been roasting Smart since the beginning of the [dang] game. This team plays a lot better defense with Jerebko at 4 because he can guard off the pick and roll a lot better than Amir or Kelly can. Really believe he should start right now.

I see why it's quiet there in that gym..

Nobody home.....the shot I saw from the court view out .....70 percent from the fist 15 rows up looked like the place was empty.

Smart is definitely slower on defense this year than last season.

He's always struggled covering quicker guards and that's generally why he would match up against Klay Thompson and 2 guards to use his mass/length to his advantage while Bradley guards the quicker guards

The 3s are a function of the defensive scheme right? They've gotta be. I think there's a concerted effort in not letting guys finish inside, which is leaving 3s open if you swing the ball enough. I mean, didn't DJ Augustin create only one of those 3's in the PnR but the next 2 came off ball movement?

Assuming even moderate regression to the mean for both teams, we'll win this one with ease.

Agree we need to find our mean side!

[danglertx]

Our  bigs need to help out and show on the picks up top.  You can't blame Smart when he fights over a pick, then gets repicked and Horford doesn't help him out at all.

Smart playing great/efficient basketball

[max215]

Leave it to Amir to ruin a great possession.

Somebody lit a fire under Marcus.

[BitterJim]

The Magic have now missed as many 3s in the second half as in the first

Good D

Holy Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline., smart is a scoring machine tonight.

Hearing AB yell "Gimme that Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.!" and two guys yelling "Ahhh" right after the Fournier block is what I'm talking about.  That's Celtics basketball.  Maybe they needed a game or two without IT to re-establish their identity.
