Still don't miss Smart. Curry is the greatest 3-point shooter of all time, if he's on he's on. Nobody on earth is gonna stop that.

This is just crazy talk, especially after what Smart has done on these types of offensive superstars in his career (remember Harden earlier this season?).

Sure, but I'm still not convinced. Rozier is no slouch on defense. It's easy to say "No Smart = Curry lighting it up", but are we forgetting what Curry does to defensive superstars too?

Rozier has certainly improved defensively, but he still can't hold Smart's jockstrap defensively.

And, the Currys and Hardens of the world are Smart's absolute specialty, because they're not super quick or athletic. They get past their defenders with their crafty ballhandling, fakes/moves, and quick first step, which plays very well into Smart's elite BBIQ defensively. He reads perimeter defenders as well as any defender that I've seen, and his added size, length, and physicality is something that he provides above and beyond this.



Every team needs a junkyard dog.

Ah, so that little contact on Brown is a foul, but not on Tatum? Okay.

Generally can't complain, though. This is the best game the refs have had with us in a long time.

Jaylen made a great spin to get open underneath and then wasn't ready for the pass. 

Come on, kid.  You did the hard part.

Larkin and Rozier with D League level performances today.  We need a big, but we sorely need a veteran guard too.

Just as I complement the refs, they stop calling fouls for us at the basket.  ::) That's a clear foul on Larkin there.
