I'd trade Rozier.

now that's a good shot for Smart to take  -  the close pull-up.  not the 3 he jacked next trip down

Again wide open. I’ll get on Smart when he takes bad shots but that wasn’t one

like smart. always have. like what he brings. but get the ball to someone else to shoot. thankslol

You know, Brad, perhaps if you wouldn't play Smart in these types of lineups where he's essentially  forced to become a scorer he wouldn't play like this. There's no reason this lineup should be out there without one of our better scorers. When are you going to learn??

I mean, he is out there with Tatum. I think he should be the primary option in this group.

I know you guys are full of hate for Marcus but he has to take those shots.

I can't speak for anyone else but I have no hate for Marcus, he's a great defense player but his shooting is worse than hideous...

I really wished Tatum would take over similar to when Morris takes over when he's with the bench. Smart is already at 6 shot attempts. Tatum with only 3

Pretty evident why the bench has shot 17% over the previous 3 games.  If Smart isn't going to play PnR and create for others, we might as well have MM or Horford to run the offense through.  MM can at least get established in the post and get his own midrange shot, which is much more reliable than any shot Smart can take.

I love Smart but his habit of shoot-first needs to stop.

This team desperately needs a proper backup PG.

i was hoping he would pan out as a good draft pick.

This.   Smart is a "scorer" with this unit.  When his focus is on D and distributing with no pressure to score Marcus is a much better player.

Agreed we are sorely missing a bench scorer. Where’s Gerald?

Rosier reminds me of rondo on defense. Always trying to go for The steal. Looks good when the steal happens, but looks bad when the steal doesn’t happen

I'd bring in a true sg too.

Or trade him and bring up Bird
