In 19 games where Marcus hits four or more 3-pointers in his pro career, the Celtics have a record of 4-15. In each of those 19 games he not only drills a few, but also shoots a respectable percent -- over 40% from beyond the arc in each of them.I've been mentally noting this for a while and decided to dig into the stats and find out. Crazy stat, huh?Tried googling it to see if this was already out there, but haven't seen it. Just this article and a similar one about a year ago. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21589757/nba-more-bricks-better-marcus-smart-celticsI can't get over how odd this is.

When he hits a few to start a game he often takes more and because he is streaky can make them. As for why we lose, its because the very fact that Marcus Smart is getting threes up means that whatever we were doing offensively probably wasn't working all that well. If it was, Smart isn't taking a lot of threes.
I can't get over how odd this is.
He seems to step up and knock down shots when the rest of the team is playing badly.
