just a lil reminder at how this past offseason I wanted the bulls to add Marcus smart
You wanted Marcus smart over DeRozan? Yeah, I’d prob keep that to yourself instead of pointing it out to everyone lol

Marcus Smart just had the worst end to a game. He knocked the rebound out of Brown hand. Gets blocked by Jrue then picked by Jrue.

Boston just collapsed. Smart going to the rim seemed to not be the play cause the coach had words.

It’s not that cut and dry. Smart costs less, is younger than demar and actually plays defense. I thought everyone here was all about guys with toughness and balls now?! ?

Costs less and younger but nowhere near DeRozan’s level. Bulls def need more smart like players, but in a vacuum, it’s DeRozan all day.

DeRozan actually shot a better percentage from 3 this year too lol…granted, on two attempts…but spacing would have been worse especially since smart is not a good shooter from anywhere

Well, sure derozan in a vacuum is better. In reality, it’s probably a lot closer than you think

It’s not like smart didn’t produce a nice W/S total or anything(yes, I’m aware it was less than demar)

Again, bulls couldn’t play defense against the teams that mattered. Smart could of helped with that. Now considering the injuries that we couldn’t foresee in the future, and it’s fair to say demars offense mattered more to surviving the season

If Memphis wins this series in a 3-1 comeback vs GSW without Morant, they should trade Morant.

I do think it’s funny how draymond after game 4 was talking shit about how the Grizz aren’t playing the timberwolves anymore and how they are now playing championship basketball…blah blah blah…then, the warriors go out and get absolutely destroyed. Like, if you’re such an experienced and championship level squad, why you feel the need to talk shit to a team??

Mfer gonna reap what he sows. Curry been running his mouth too. Pressure is now all on GSW

I'm (mostly) joking. It is weird how competitive Memphis is able to still be without Morant. Regular season was the same way.

I kinda thought it'd be more like the 11-12 Bulls where in the regular season they played without Rose just fine, but once he ACL'd himself in G1, they played like shit sans winning G5 by 8 points in a defensive battle. They were also playing an 8 seed though versus the this Warriors team which is much better than the Sixers were.

Who knows, Memphis could still very well lose G6 and the universe goes back to "normal"
