Stevens is right. The all star voting is a joke. Did yao Ming make it this year? The whole all star weekend is a joke. I hate all all-star games period |

Love or hate Marcus Smart, the guy's a winner. Smart is an enigma. Last night I had to praise him and then bury him. I felt he had an active game except for three things: 1-He attempted too shots many for my liking (he has got to shoot less). He impacts the game in so many other positive ways that his shooting should not take away from that.
2-He almost blew the game with his unforced turnover allowing Atlanta to have the last shot (just pull the ball out and put it in the hands of Hayward or Tatum).
3-I hated his unnecessary "walk over" of the young Trae when all he had to do was pass the ball forward to a clearly open Theis who had just blocked the shot and ran open down court. But, with the game in hand, Smart had to walk over Trae which, had the shoe been on the other foot, I would have backed a Celtics player NOT accepting that from an opponent. That's not being tough, that's being stupid.

Nobody can out stupid, Smart! That play alone could and probably should have resulted in a tech at the least! |

Smart was out of control last night. Cole and Pete nailed it ..... Just finished watching the game via e mail link from the US from my Grandson who taped it. Tatum had ''' In My Head'' mental issues again... No Fox Holes in basketball. Ming? Nah. Voting from China for the all star game was stopped thanks to the Chinese tariffs . |

No fox holes whatsoever. Tatum better play a whole lot better tonight for us to have a chance of winning. |

If he misses a couple lay ups early, you can bet your ass he's gonna have a bad game! He needs to take lessons from Brown, when he gets to the rim! |

What Smart did was stupid......at the end of the game. But we don't win that game without him. If I wanted to win a close game, I'd want Smart out there with me...........is that better?  |

He needs to take lessons from Brown, when he gets to the rim! I should have included you with Cole and Pete. The reason i've always favored Brown? He's tough in a '''Smart'' way.....? Tatum looks like the poster boy for the Cub Scout Handbook at times.. He's needs to eat more'' Grits'' we say in Va. He also had a child at what 20 ? Not so bright either trying to play in the NBA and raise a family before the green behind your ears has dried up. |

I think Hayward is really starting to play well again. His mid range game is one of the best in the league!

Thank goodness he dropped a couple of threes too. Unless he's shooting them well, he's not getting around many defenders. Otherwise we have to run him off screens to get him in where he can turn into the paint and then the shot clock is down.
