Okay, people, when do we start asking the inevitable question: are our defensive gains with Smart instead of IT (along with the better TEAM ball and ball movement offensively) actually an overall positive for the Celtics?
We still need to make up the iso scoring for IT's absence, but I think yes.
If Smart was having a decent game scoring, it may be worth asking but he's only got 3 points and is 0-1 in the game.
I will say that the ball movement is much greater without IT dominating the ball.
