If only Len had a little Zaza in him. Or what was that other dude's name? The guy that looked like he was 40 yrs old. Damn I'm getting old.

Right.  Zaza would've definitely put Smart on his butt, or not even let him get up.

Fake movie villian.  He definitely wasn't a "tough guy".

You forget that this isn't the first time Smart has done something like this to a Hawk

 

The point is this.  If someone bigger than him would check his ass before he acts like he's the baddest dude in the room, he wouldn't do all of this.  He sees the Hawks as being soft.  And he's probably right.  

That's why you need guys who aren't soft, to confront "the bully".

Smart does that stuff against everyone. He got ejected in that game and most of the time he gets himself in trouble if you don't feed into his BS.

Smart stepped on Trae and then started shoving Len when Len started to take the ball out of his hand.  Home cooking for the Sellts.

Heh, that man probably had no idea how close to death he was in that moment.

You still must protect your star player, even if it means that YOU get ejected.

Trae is the franchise. The "team protector" must have his back at all times.  Sometimes forcefully.

Can't stand coward-a** refs.  Y'all freaking review the most innocuous nonsense in the freaking 2nd and 3rd quarters but have no interest in taking a look at that last play?

You basically gave them the game with lopsided a** foul calls all game.  Let Theis freaking mug Trae 4 times before getting what was a legit block.  You let Heurter get hit upside the head on a wide a** open breakaway while you were staring right at it.  You let ol' overrated a** Tatum get his numbers on like 1-for-17 shooting by parking his a** at the foul line all game.  And on a legit block, albeit a bang-bang play, Collins gets called for a phantom a** foul on his way to landing square on his tailbone from 10ft in the air.

Did I miss anything?

Anyways, how can we expect to win a game like that playing 5-on-8?  Ridiculous!

And how in the actual F does this Selltics team have such a good record?  They look janky as heyul with fake-a** Kobe Tatum and old-man-game-a** Jaylen Brown and floppin-a** Smart and ol' shell-of-his-former-self-alt-right-hairstyle-a** what's his name?

Guess it pays to play every game with a 3-man advantage.   Hopefully this sh*t catch up wit' they a** early in the playoffs.

And all of this is just another example of why I don't buy Trae Young's name being removed from the allstar ballot for a day as a "glitch".

Smart got the worst of that little exchange and everyone is calling him out for being a douche. It’s really not a big deal.

Another 1-6 performance from Cam.

Cam shouldn't be playing. Probably should be in the G League. Hunter's minutes should go down to about 18-20 minutes a game. Bembry, Crabbe and Goodwin should be splitting those minutes until we make a trade for a competent vet wing. 

[hawkzlova123]

That was the most obvious organized contest I've ever watched. This game was determined in the early quarter. Foul after foul after trucking foul. What is the significance of watching when referees determine and organize the entire trucking contest?

[hawkzlova123]

Vince Carter has got to resign immediately. And we will cheerfully employ him as a coach tomorrow.
