Is Brad ever going to get a handle on Smart continuously jacking threes?
Contract or no contract it needs to be addressed. This could become contagious.

I've got news for you: if they were shots CBS did not want, Smart would not be in.

Most of his shots are within the flow of the offense. He is in a lull. Let CBS coach the team. He's doing a pretty good job of it.

Great game tonight - couldn't ask for a more complete game (except some 4th quarter Speights 3s and Smart's shooting). I really don't have anything to say except - GREAT JOB!!

I really liked the energy in the second quarter by the lineup with Brown-Smart-Rozier-Baynes-Ojeyle. They played good defense and they were also moving the ball really well. I liked Brown's aggressiveness in lineup. He seemed to really be trying to make plays.

That was definitely a step of growth for our bench.

teams will settle for those shots all the time when hes shooting at a 25% or less clip. Marcus has been in a shooting "lull" his whole career thus far...

He needs to adjust his stroke.

Ball still going way to far back over his head, shooting too late in the hop.

"Gimme the ball, gimme the ball". Freddy Quimby, 1994.

I have an idea, why don't we hire a shooting coach for this team.   This is a problems area for some and I think it would help.   Some days would not need this service but some clearly do.

We have some bad free throw shooters too.  The coaches we have are good X and Os guys and solid at analytics.  But shooting skill training is not a strong point.   I know it is during the season but how much worse could Marcus shoot really?
