To be honest I think someone told Marcus to not play so hard, but Marcus misunderstood. He only seems to have 2 switches. On and Off.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Smart shot 1-8, 3 points, in a game where both teams scored 150 and played no D.

Thought he would do better than this.

Chill. He never had the ball. It's not his kind of game. Selfish asses like Clarkson were playing.
how did he never have the ball if he missed 8 shots?

You wanted him to shoot another 8?

Did you watch the game? Did you see guys like Clarkson and LaVine just dribbling and dribbling around? Not everyone can be a team player. Anyone can score when they take 20 shots. And regarding smart, 5 were 3's. Catch and shoot.
Smart got blocked by the rim twice.

Those other guys are quicker and have a better handle on the ball. Smart needs to work on these two areas to get better.

So many future all stars in this. It's crazy how good the last two drafts were.

Gotta wonder if Smart can be one of those all stars.

Okay so he shot 1 for 8 in a game with no d, does that mean he sucks? How about last game then, you would put more stock in a meaningless game just to support your bias against him?  Most people know you have bias against him, dont you get tired?  Your mission is to bash smart in every post you make.

What a stupid game... And of course Lavine was the MVP in a showboat game with no d the ballhog with the most points gets it lol

He's an athletic bum. Make the playoffs  and then I will give you some credit Lavine.

He's got my vote for one of those all defensive teams.

Yeah he shrunk in a game where other future all stars shined. It sucked to see that.

Not giving up on Smart. I just have high expectations for him.

If your feelings get hurt then don't read my posts.

Well he went into the lane twice but him driving in there more often against better leaders would had been a bad move.

I don't see why any knowledgeable basketball fan would put any stock - at either the team or individual level - into an exhibition game.

Stanley Johnson got snubbed from the game. Smart got left off last year.

They need to change this format to be just the best guys.

It's a pretty meaningless game, but Smart really didnt look like he belonged offensively.

Because smart has been playing in a controlled offense in Boston. This game was anything but controlled. Marcus isn't a great fit when they're running up and down the court throwing alley oops.
