We beat not just the Rocket but the refs too.

8 on 5? No problem!!!
Well actually it was 7-5 tonight.

What a remarkable effort by our team.  It was a true team win.   Smart proved once again that he is a winning basketball player no matter how poorly he shoots.

Shout out to Rozier - we'd have had no chance winning this game without his contributions.  MM and Baynes too.

In my ten years on this blog I have seen a lot of game threads like this. You just can never count this team out.

Could anyone who wants to hate on Smart please remember games like this.  It's gotten to the point that it is expected that Marcus will do something to help the team at the end of games.  He is one of the team's most valuable players.  Don't trade him Danny.

NOONE IS EVER ALLOWED TO SAY ANOTHER BAD THING ABOUT SMART ON THIS SITE!!

DUDE JUST SINGLEHANDEDLY WON US THIS GAME WITH HIS D!!
To be fair he lost us enough games that he owed us one

That simply isn't true.

Admit it, you are completely wrong about Marcus.

He has proven it, he is a winning player, and he leads us to wins.

Just stop with the irrational Smart hate. He impacts winning more than a guy like Andrew Wiggins does.
Forgiving money are you telling me you don't trade Smart for Andrew Wiggins straight up? Is that what you're saying?


You are right, I wouldn't say that. Wiggins still has potential that clearly would outdo Marcus.

But Marcus helps us win more than Wiggins would.

I watch a lot of Wolves ball.

He is dumb on defense on and off the ball, and he has had almost 2 years of Thibs coaching.

He is almost the anti Smart really.

He would frustrate Brad, whereas Brand and Marcus are on the same page.

Oh we'll gripe loudly when we're playing like crap or when we're being jobbed by poor officiating.  But most of us aren't going to shut off the TV.  I've never once seen our team quit under Brad Stevens.  Not once.

That is every game.

I just do not understand how people get so worked up all the time.

We have a great coach, a resilient team, and an 82 game schedule.

Settle down.

It's not about losing; it's about how they were losing. There was simply no energy in the first half. All of us were absolutely justified in being upset over that first half showing.

Now they made up for it in the second half, but it was their fault in the beginning that it came to that.

I am totally fine with people focusing on the 1 and a half minutes of absolute virtuoso performance by Smart.

I prefer to focus on the 46 minutes of him being beaten around like David Caradine #checkouthowhedied

lol well, I hope you know Brad obvioiusly disagrees with you.

But I mean, if you think you know better.
