Seriously, guys, do you not see how well Smart is running this offense? This is the textbook definition of how to initiate and run an offense.

He's looked great, but I still need to see how he does if a team game plans against him. If we're gnna move IT to the bench, we need to make sure it won't kill us down the line

Naw, move Bradley to the bench to be the scorer with Rozier. Have Smart run the offense with IT off the ball, which gives you IT's scoring and iso offense when needed.

The team takes a step back trading IT but I love the D. I would be ok moving him. I like the way this team plays.

[alewilliam789]

Like when Smart probes in that paint.

[Ilikesports17]

I love Al and Marcus together.

I like this basketball I can't lie. We are playing beautiful basketball

Yep. And this is how basketball is supposed to be played - together.

Subtweeting @IT, I see.

Haha, you have to admit that the offense has looked so much more efficient and coherent the last several games with IT out.

We certainly miss his iso offense at times, and we need more of that with our guys right now. But the ball is certainly moving much better without him.

I think IT certainly has his faults, but this offense is far better with him than without. From these games without him, the only conclusion we can undoubtedly draw is that playing Smart off ball with Roz on is certifiably insane.

[TrueFan]

Roz didn't get fouled?

[alewilliam789]

How the hell is that not a foul on Westbrook omg??!!!

[SCeltic34]

Refs are letting them play. They're not buying Westbrook's crap either.  But that looked like Rozier got whacked pretty good.

Imagine how good we'd be if we had Steven Adams over Amir

[tarheelsxxiii]

OKC always seems to make late runs in close games behind Russ.  Need to open up the margin this qtr if possible.

And Crowder is the best player on the team, possibly in the history of the Celtics.  IT is trade bait.  Smart plays like this every game, not just against OKC every season. Bradley sucks because he's not shooting his usual 80% from the field tonight.

I don't think that'd be a good idea. Bradley is usually hot early, and he's our top rebounder. I think an IT/Smart starting backcourt would be worse than IT/AB or AB/Smart

The shooting would also be brutal from that pairing

[TrueFan]

Horford is niiiice

[alewilliam789]

Imagine how good we'd be if we had Steven Adams over Amir

We would probably be the best defense in the league if we had Adams

Because it's Westbrook, you answered it yourself lol..

Worried about Westbrook with Smart on the bench
