Mark Jackson: "Nothing against Marcus Smart but he's not that good"

I saw DJ play a lot of defense when I was younger, and it is hard to compare players between eras, but Smart is def in the conversation.

If Boston is up 20+ by the end of the quarter, does Lebron sit the 4th?

nope only if we are up 30

which is why i said we need a 30 point lead. he sat in indy down 30 in 4th

No

Why is Smart throwing 3 pointers

That was a good shot.  It was in the flow of the offense and not shooting would have stalled us anyway.

Come on Terry! You can't fumble away an easy rebound like that!

agreed

He's been sloppy with the dribble bringing the ball up this half too.

only 4 points for rozier. he cant be great every game. but other celtics have picked up the slack so no problem so far.

[Surferdad]

GIVE IT TO HORFORD SO HE CAN DRAW THE 4TH FOUL ON LOVE.

[bknova]

Gotta keep our foot on the pedal.  No messing around with Lebron James on the other side.

My issue is that he's saying it because he struggled against DJ, but that experience isn't super relevant if you've only played against one of them.

I'd love to see him try and score on Smart. Like I'd pay good money to watch that

I think Terry has been fine so far.  7 assists and only 1 turnover.  Taking what the def gives him.

good point. the celtics need to drive to the basket more in general this quarter.

[Thruthelookingglass]

We’re at the stage of the game that one more surge by the celts should do it.  A surge by the Cavs will make us sweat a bit.

Note from us old guys:  sweating out these games is NOT good for us.  Grey hairs, heart attacks, exploding heads . . . you get the drill.

GET BACK TO RIM

RUN PNR

[KGs Knee]

Gotta stay composed and resist taking bad shots. Get Horford involved more.

[Phantom255x]

Finish this quarter strong C's!!

That sure looked like a clean srtirp by Tatum
