Honestly, been incredibly disappointed in our perimeter defense lately. That should've been our calling card all season long. It's pure trash right now.

Well, a lot of that has to do with Smart being gone so long, in addition to Brad liking to go smaller and put him on bigger guys. I would bet he's spent nearly as much time not on the perimeter as he as on the perimeter.

We would be so, so, so much better if we had just one guy we could bring off the bench to reliably guard wings who is not named Evan Turner.

I'd rather just bench Turner and let Smart get reps at the point.

Are we grooming Smart to play sg or does Turner just like to dribble?

Yeah, three games in a row now that the ball has ran the smoothest with Smart doing the ball-handling, but Stevens just lets Turner dribble the air out of the ball out there. I can't wait until next season when he's gone.

It's sad when your perimeter players are tasked with shutting people down on defense and then have to carry the load offensively. They get all the blame for not doing it all!

Must we really wait until next season?

Can Turner guard anyone?

When's the last time that Smart has played in a lineup with only one other guard?? It seems that Stevens is only using him in small-ball lineups anymore, which really takes away his strengths on the perimeter.

Well, I guess it's going to be that kind of night.

2 great passes from Smart to Zeller.  Gotta finish those.
