Its Obvious Marcus Smart A Better Fit Than Thomas

[jjgold]

Guy much bigger
Much Stronger
Much better defense
Underrated on offense

He has been under radar for 3 years now in Boston and it seems being held back

[The Kraken]

He has one good game and predictably guys overreact

Had Lebron scored two more buckets, the C's lose and this thread never gets made

Smart is not going to hit 7 or 8 three's a game, that was 90% of his scoring last night

[lakerboy]

Actually smart is good but not the answer

[Seaweed]

Lol Cavs in 6

[Sam Odom]

young kid...

[jjgold]

He's a raw Jimmy Butler

[Pinoy-T-X]

His last name doesn't fit him.

[JIBBBY]

Smart had one of his best games last night IMO.. I don't think he can play like that every night.. Thomas the midget is still probably a better fit..

Celtics could make a block buster trade with Thomas though and pick up a great veteran player and maybe a few draft picks.. That could make this Celtics team a little deeper and more seasoned..

i cant decide if youre trolling or handicapped

[firekillex]

thomas was top 6 in mvp... marcus smart is a fringe starter lol

[Grits n' Gravy]

Better fit for what? Your gaping asshole?

[jjgold]

Thomas a pussy always

Smart a killer

Celts crazy to resign the midget Thomas

Nothing but a ball hog that makes nobody better

[Snowball]

Thomas is a 7-8/10 starting PG

Much respect for all he's done but tend to agree
it's a good time to start over with a top pick
and a supporting veteran plus Smart rather
than pay down the big contract for Thomas.

[jjgold]

Thomas is too small, cannot play defense , no rebounds and a terrible passer.

Had careeer year

Definitely would dump him

Diamond Dozen in NBA like him

[jtoler]

I usually dont fall for your trick stir controversy and drive up posts on the board Gold, but Ill chime in here to those who "agree" with you. Youre retarded and dont even believe what youre saying. Thomas averages what 29 pts per game, case closed. Smart is a bench player, had to change his game from how he played in college to stay in the league, because he was never gonna succeed in this league playing like that. He plays totally opposite how he played in college, was aggressive then, now very pass first looking to set up for teammates. He's ok, nowhere near Thomas as a player.

I remember when the Celtics got the 2 big veteran all stars and it changed them into a championship team overnight.. Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett...

Celtics should do that again..They should trade Thomas for a veteran all star. Al Hortford is really their only seasoned vet.. Not enough.. I think a trade for a Paul George for Isiah Thomas would make sense.. Maybe get some 1st round draft picks as well.. Something of that nature anyways.....

[jjgold]

Point average means nothing

He is a ball hog that every team can create a mismatch

He takes too many birthday shots this year they went in but percentage wise they will not long term

I forgot more about basketball than most know here

He is a fukkin midget

[firekillex]

this thread shows nobody on sbr knows basketball

celtics will draft fultz or trade back and get jason tatem
or if they wanna trade the 1st pick for jimmy butler but i see them using the pick and possibly grabbing gordon hayward as a free agent


that team would be a contender with Isiah at PG

[firekillex]

29 pts/2.7 boards/ 6 dimes 46.3% FG 90% FT and a steal a game
definitely could find that anywhere in the league

smart wouldnt be a starting pg on any team in the league

Points mean nothing, ok. What does Smart do better than Thomas.

[firekillex]

smart is a better defender , but thats why celtics have avery bradley to defend the best guard and let Isiah play his game
exactly what golden state does with curry/klay

You really are mentally challenged. Averaging 29 ppg on 19 shots per game is highly efficient and the opposite of being a ball hog. You should stick to what you know....being a losing bettor, sucking men off and poor dental hygiene.

Oh and the expression is "a dime a dozen" not "diamond dozen" you dumb bald fukk.

Grits you conveniently left out his assist numbers you bone head - Thomas the midget is a point guard that only averages 5.9 assists per game this season.. That's way under the norm when you look at others like Westbrook, John Wall and James Harden whom all averaged 11 assists per game all season long..

That tells me the midget isn't making his players around him better or keeping them involved enough..

Not surprising that the Celtics played better as a team and beat the Cavs yesterday mainly because the roll players were more involved and actually got to hold the ball and produce on offense.. Played better as a group defensively as well..

Needless to say Thomas the midget (short stature) makes him a liability on defense especially in these playoffs.. Opponents can post him up or shoot over him with ease in other words which we were seeing in games 1 and 2 of this series....

[jtoler]

10 and 11 assist isnt the norm lol. 5.9 is tied for 18th in the league. Thats good for someone averaging 29 ppg. He doesnt have the ball in his hands all the time like Harden and Westbrook, Boston plays more team ball other guys get involved. 10 of those 29 come in the 4th that alone is a heck of a lot of value, any team would love a guy who could get them 10 pts in the 4th, thats the difference between winning and losing games. Curry averages, 6.6 assists, Conley 6.3. Dragic, Kyrie, Kemba, all average less assists than Thomas. Rondo who is always looking for an assist averaged 6.7.

Thomas assist numbers are still below the norm.. He plays minutes and has shooters around him, Boston is a very good 3 point shooting team.. No excuse for 5.9 assist average.. TRADE HIM....

Defensive liability he will be every year in these playoffs...

[firekillex]

[jjgold]

Gritter he makes nobody better

I have always said he is a 6th man

[jtoler]

By that logic you would think Lillard, Curry and every player who averages 6 assists a game should be traded. He plays 33 min. a game out of 48 min, thats 32nd in the league, so in 33 min. he gives you 29 pts. Higher shooting percentage than Harden and Westbrook. You guys troll hard.

[firekillex]

its sad watching people on this forum talk about basketball thinking they know whats going on...
jtoler at least you get it

curry is on the best shooting team in the league and averages .6 assits more then thomas a game while Thomas had a higher PPG with the 1 FGA more a game... so you must have to trade Steph Curry for a new point guard as well since he cant play defense and only scores with not 10 assists

people think one game is everything , Isiah literally carried the celtics to a 1st seed over 70+ games, without him they wouldve been lucky to be top 7... he obviously makes his team better because hes a lethal scorer and leaves other guys open... he gets plenty of hockey assists and gets to the line a ton / has a ton of energy which the team feeds off


i wonder if half of the people in this thread actually watch boston games or just watched the 3 playoff games and think they know the team when theyve played over 75 games this year with Isiah leading the team..... If Lebron showed up last night they wouldve won by 20+ and nobody would be saying anything... watch next game its gonna be a joke , marcus smart wont even come close to hitting 5+ threes again he can only regularly hit a corner 3

[firekillex]

guy almost averages a 50/40/90 season people saying get rid of him lolllll
and i literally think people here are being serious not trolling thats the sad part

anybody take into account he went to a game 7 , had 10+ hour oral surgery, lost his sister and played with a torn hip this playoffs
and he still dropped a damn 50 game... just smfh

[NUTSonYAchin]

he plays no defense and is a black hole. dropping 50 points means nothing if you're not efficient and are a defensive liability

[JIBBBY]

Celtics will never win a championship again with Thomas.. You heard it here first.. Probably will never make out of the East.. EVER... Laugh all you want Firekill but I know hoop...

[firekillex]

50/40/90 isnt efficient .....
literally had one of the best PERS in guard NBA history

not even gonna respond anymore you guys are either trolling or literally dont know how to bounce a basketball


and yes they wont win a championship because Lebron James a top 3 NBA player in history is in the east... what does that have anything to do with being a good player lol.... guys a All star top 6 MVP this year and this thread is saying put a bench player in over him .... if you told that to an NBA player or GM they would laugh and spit their water on your faces . Multiple great players dont win rings its the NBA landscape when theres only a few power teams who win it every decade in your prime i could name 15 other All star / great players right now who wont win a ring.... Kyrie Irving is in the same boat as Isiah but was blessed with Lebron James was he a bum and now magically great??

im looking at the 2017 NBA ALL Star roster and seeing 2 PGS in the entire Roster who play good defense, thats how the NBA is in this day... its hard playing amazing on ball defense when youre tasked to drop 30 a game with that efficiency , everybody cant be a cyborg LBJ to be considered a good player
ask any NBA player in the league who there top 10 PGS on planet earth are today .... I guarantee not 1 doesnt put Isiah Thomas in there
