24 minutes for Marcus Smart. 1 rebound
1 minute for Jaylen Brown. 1 rebound
I'm not sure where this hate for Smart is coming from. He hasn't played great offensively tonight, but he's never really great offensively. He's out there for his defense and playmaking. AB and Crowder have been way, way worse on both sides of the ball tonight, and they, along with Stevens, are the major factors in us losing tonight.
Because Smart is not what was advertised and what is advertised. He is not a major part of this team. He's Kurt Rambis. Kurt was a good player. He had some toughness. He played hard. He had a cult following. I thoroughly respect Kurt Rambis. He wasn't picked 6th I don't think, but he's a good player. Kurt was intelligent also. Yay Kurt Rambis.
Whereas Avery and Jae are better than we thought when we got them. They overachieved from what we thought would happen. Smart underachieved.
