smart did look good

He sure loves to shoot 3s. 

And play elite defense on James Harden.

True, but he could be one of the worst scorers in the game today. I mean all he knows how to do is shoot threes and that skill is barely acceptable. If the team truly is using this year as a learning curve to extend his range, then great, but I would like to see a solid drive and dunk once every couple of games or so.

Harden one of the worst scorers in the NBA today?! Really?! He's gone to the line at insane rate while hitting 45 percent from the field, 38 percent from three and is leading the NBA in scoring is one of the worst scorers?! Either you're trying to downplay Marcus Smart's defense or you really are underrating Harden.

And that's not even going into his rebounds and assists. Harden is playing at an MVP level this year.

Even then Smart is a rookie. He's learning how to adjust to the NBA. To expect him to be a scorer is unrealistic.

He did look good yet again, mostly on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm convinced, I really believe that at worst, we'll have the Tony Allen of PG's, at worst. At best, oh, I may have to wipe my floor, there's drool all over it.
