Tag: Marcus Smart

I’m looking at the 2014 draft, and I don’t know if all the scouts were high on drugs or what, but that was kind of a cruddy set of players in the lottery. I don’t even care for Marcus Smart that much (partially because he just got done kicking my team’s heinie, but also for…

Usually when I want to harvest the sweet ambrosia that is Celtics fan tears, all I have to do is say something like “you paid Marcus Smart fifty million dollars to hustle and suck at shooting”, strap on the apparatus (just a pair of goggles with some tubes attached for the tears to run through),…

Boston-area sports fans have it so great today. They get to watch their beloved Celtics in the early afternoon, then watch their beloved Patriots in the Superb Owl (a contest which they are currently winning 3-0 – exciting!). That’s, like, six hours nonstop of eating chicken wings, pizza, nachos, chips with dip, and more chicken…

Since Marcus Smart is now a 36% three-point shooter (a percentage that will go up after this game), I should stop being incredulous when the three-pointers he takes actually go through the net. In past seasons, it was a forgone conclusion that most of the three-pointers Smart chucked up there were not going to in….

So I guess I have to grudgingly admit now that Marcus Smart is a good three-point shooter. He was shooting above 35% before this game happened, and then Smart went 6-of-8, which means that his percentages will probably go up. To me, 35% is roughly the line that separates “okay” three-point shooters from “good” ones….

I’ve been one of Smart’s biggest critics ever since he came in to the league. Among the attributes of his that I have criticized: -His hair (which looks like white-cheddar cheetos dyed half-black) -His complexion (low blow, but his acne scarring is crazy bad) -Celtic fans’ adoration of him (not his fault, but also kind…

There’s probably people out there who secretly wish that I would create a Marcus Smart Floppilation at the end of this season. I would like to put that idea to rest right now. Such a video would not happen for a myriad of reasons: -Flops do not appear in the box-score. The closest I would…

I don’t really understand how Marcus Smart fits in with this iteration of the Celtics, but as long as he continues to torment Celtics fans with his outsized contract and streaky play, I guess I’m fine with him remaining a Celtic. He was re-signed in the off season to be, I assume, the primary backup…

My burning, irrational hatred for Marcus Smart does not allow me to acknowledge when he has a good game. Instead, I am compelled to point out his deficiencies: how he had the same amount of assists as turnovers (3), how he chucked ten three-pointers despite being one of the worst high-volume three-point shooters in the…
