Great outlet by Marcus.

I've missed a couple of games. Smart looks more comfortable handling the ball and the offense

This whole season, whenever Marcus has been able to run the offense hes looked really good in my opinnion. When they ask him to play exclusively off ball I think he loses a lot of confidence and isnt sure how to play and ends up chucking a ton of bad threes and forcing layups because hes not confident in how hes supposed to play.

Thats my take at least. tommy said something similar the other day if i recall correctly.

I agree.  I mean he could just have better shot selection or he just needs to put in serious work on his shot.  In a year or two if he improves we could really change our tune (rightfully so, but I just think he is hard working and will put in work).

I keep thinking he is better in the paint too.  Has had some nice floaters recently.  He throws some nice passes.  He is also very confident and capable posting up guards.  You see some guys not really be able to use their size advantage but he does well.

[Chief]

Pretty rough foul.

[SHAQATTACK]

Sweet elbow to the turds chin

TP...Avery

Yeah, he's definitely a better player as a ball-handler rather than an off-ball type.

Abominable shot selection.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Smart needs to cut it out with the early shot clock 3's already

[jpotter33]

Geeze, Smart can't buy a foul in the lane.

What does Smart have to do to get a call

He needs to prove he can score at the rim first...

Refs are punishing him for all those awful threes.

that doesnt mean he has to be robbed of a foul though.

btw, we have the lady ref. no sexism or anything intended, but shes a trash ref.
