Who has been on the court for every critical minute since what? Midway in his rookie season? Who do you want on the court when the game is on the line? Does this give Smart the right to "act up"?
None of us was on the court for that possession, but, a play was called and Jaylen did what he thought was best. I imagine if Stevens thought it was a big deal he would handle it.
Smart and Brown had another altercation that was discussed by the idiots on sports radio today.
My opinion is that Smart is the veteran and Brown is the rookie, thus, Smart assumes he has a right to bark at Brown.
As far as trades, Ainge will never get anything close to Smart's value to this team in return, ever.
As far as Brown? He's got to win some games and then he can tell whomever to shove it when he wants.
Take sides if you like, with 40 seconds on the clock down two points, I want Smart in the game. The other guy, hopefully, will make me change my mind some day.
What the core issue might be?
There isn't a sheriff in town and I think Smart could use one.
Crowder isn't Kevin Garnett, but, I guess he's the sheriff...If Smart wants to be the sheriff some day, he should take some courses on it or something. Garnett would simply look at a team mate and the message would be delivered.
Rondo skipped a game for a birthday party...you think that would've went down with KG on the team?
This is all on Brad Stevens for now.
