Interesting observations on Smart’s passing woes. I’ve never seen such a streaky passer before. A lot of Celtics fans fail to realize how much this impacted the teams overall identity and continuity on offense. On any given night his passing/playmaking could be anywhere between Trae Young and Pat Beverly
a lot lol?
Not to mention his shot. Even his defense was erratic at times…
Really like him for his professionalism and intensity, but he was never reliable. I’d always go into every game without knowing what to expect from him.
It was getting long or else I could’ve mentioned his poor shooting for sure
@@Langeta-kun Yeah a lot. That finals against warriors really showed. They don't have a reliable point guard to facilitate and make plays for Tatum and Brown, that's why they had too much turnovers. No one sets them up and settles for an iso then turns to a double then gets stripped over and over.
@@marmanjoteta2100 yup I love smart, but this was a good trade. It’s sad seeing him go, but I’m not denying this was a good trade.. derrick, White offensively is better way less mistakes, place to his skill set.
Probably going to be better off pensively on any given night. And defensively Marcus Smart this season wasn’t as good as it could just of been a fluke they even try to trade Brogdon, but not Derek so clearly he’s probably gonna start this year
6:57 Jayson Tatum’s 1920 NBA stats go crazy. Dude was cookin those boys before the league was even invented 😤😳
he means 2019-20
@@coldicey03no shit dude was making a (granted not very funny) joke
He wasnt in the league in 1920, he wasnt even born then
@@coldicey03people dont pay attention nowadays
@@yousoldthebag I had like 2 seconds to come up wit some shi don’t judge me
If brad don’t have d white he doesn’t move smart it’s as simple as that d white gives u what smart does but better .... better shot selection more unselfish and keeps a cool head always for anybody questioning he’s defense he just made a all nba defensive team he led the league in blocked shots for small guards u can argue he was there best 3rd player last season
How about this from last year:
White, Tatum and Brown on the floor = Net rating of +10
White, Tatum on the floor, Brown on the bench = Net rating +9
White, Brown on the floor, Tatum on the bench = Net rating +9
Brown, Tatum on the floor, White on the bench = Net rating -1
Derrick White is the X-factor for the Celtics.
I disagree. Brad would have lost his job if he did not trade smart for two first round picks and Porziņģis lol no matter if we had Derek or not.
White and Brogdon are already enough to fill in the point guard role. This was a good move if Brogdon stays healthy.
I think more white is key then brogdon in my opinion white deserves to start
Brogdon will be traded
Brig don’t I’d never healthy, I love him, but he’s hardly available late in the season, I’d see what I can get for him
Old problems
I think Brogdan is staying cos his trade value sucks. Same with PP, no one wants them. If PP and Brogdan is traded for Caruso, then that's amazing. At this point, Grant will go cos he is limited offensively. Grant has no post game/inside game and only shoots from 3. At least Hauser can cut or slash...slightly bit better.
In 1920, Tatum playing PF before Joe Fulks was in the league had me rollin. 😂😂
Lol it tripped me up at first too before I realized he meant 19/20 as in the season starting in 2019 and ending in 2020
2019-2020
The emotional attachment that fans had with Smart is the only thing that is making the trade hard to digest, because everybody knows that Porzingis fits much better.
His frailty and the sustainability of the productivity that he had last season are still concerns though.
Also, I understand that the DW, Brogdon, JB, JT and KP lineup would be very potent on offense, but I’d rather see a balanced approach with Robert Williams instead of Brogdon. Although the offensive output would be lower, the defense should be dominant and generate more transition opportunities, while the offense should still be top 10 in its own right.
Hopefully everybody stays healthy and it still remains to be seen who they’ll keep between Brogdon and Grant Williams.
Yes, we all liked him but you get someone like Porziņģis for smart it’s amazing. Not to mention we got two first round picks to lol smart was not worth all of that not even close. I still can’t believe the Celtics got that it’s insane.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Exactly. Nobody expected that kind of return for Smart🤣
Brogdon being part of the original trade could've already put his morale down so I expect him to get traded.
@@Mist_RIk. At that point, you gotta find a way to let him go because there will be some animosity and resentment in him imo
I aggree. imagine A starting 5 of DW, JB, JT, KP, and timelord. Two great shotblockers in the front, two two-way players in the wings and an all-defense running the point. honestly, who's scoring on them??
Also KP already said he is more comfortable playing the 4 than the 5.
Finally someone seeing how game works! Coach you give voice of reason during the times of loud and empty shouting!
Coach, as a Celtics fan, you have probably made me feel a lot better about this trade than I thought I would be. I still want to take the "wait and see" approach because of morale, roster health, etc, but having film really helps out
U should've seen just how frustrating smart is throughout the years. First four was all about his shooting. Once he fixed that, the frustration turned to his passing and decision making. I always felt this team would thrive more if they kept him as a sixth man. Gonna miss the dude no doubt but I'm also relieved the team won't have to deal with his flaws anymore. He was such a great guy on and off the court and a beast on defense that we fail to see the flaws that were also costing the team a chance to win it all.
Love the analysis coach! Especially the subtle details like zooming in on his eye position on that lob .
I think an observation missed is Atlanta and Philly torched horford on the pick n roll, while Williams couldn’t space the floor on offense.
Now with Porzingis, he is on the best bigs at defending the pick and roll while also being able to space the floor which you’re basically getting a combination of Williams and horford.
"YEAH Trading for Porzingis was a good choice, KP is pretty good... but the real benefit to the Celtics is getting rid of that loser!" - Coach in a whole video
He is absolutely correct..even if we didn't get KP..removing smart would have improved the team
He’s been calling out smart’s play for years now, I was waiting for this video 😂
Facts
Completely agree with coach. One great defensive possesion isn't worth screwing up multiple offensive possessions. Brogdon can actually shoot so defenders will think twice about clogging passing lanes cos Brogdon don't need to pass for Boston to score. Same with White, he also doesnt need to pass for Boston to score, he can create his own shot. This is why I think PP is staying cos as much of a defensive liability PP is, he can actually shoot the ball.
People forget that KP is basically a 7'4 guy with guard skills (shooting, post moves and decent handles)... Reminds me of a certain french 1st pick who everybody goes crazy about 😁
Not hating, but KP is basically that type of unicorn and doesnt get the same hype (which he never had basically)
Let's see what he does for the C's
Happy for him though, to be in a position for a title
TY! Ive been saying everything this video is covering
Coach I slightly disagree about your usage of the clip at 2:15 (attempted pass to Brown who is making a baseline cut) when you’re talking about Smart making bounce passes when he shouldn’t because the “defender is in a good position to steal it”. While that clip does end in a steal, I actually think it’s a better example of your earlier point about accuracy and bouncing the ball in the wrong spot. If you slow it down, you can clearly see the ball is only stolen because it bounces directly into the defender’s hand.
If he had made the ball bounce farther away, he could definitely have slid it under the defender’s hand but still had it be catchable by Brown’s right hand. I actually think this was a very good, advanced passing read-the kind of pass Jokic makes regularly. I just think the pass itself was too advanced for Smart’s ability to deliver it.
coach been waiting to make this video for some time
1:34 Most egregious carry I've ever seen
with other youtubers i definitely could never tell when they are sneaking in an ad, all i need is to hear "and if" from coach and i already know that it's an ad
The Celtics still need a high end playmaker, hopefully Derrick White can fulfill that role
He played really great as the starting PG for us
Malcolm Brogdon isn't terrible
@@ziahbarie3198 yup, if he's healthy enough to play more games...
@@jojetparedes4024 He played 67 games last season - that's plenty
@@jeremyleveille1532he did and hopefully he avoids aggravating anything so he could continue to play more. A 2nd round pick who gets to be ROTY and later 6MOTY...that's an awesome resume...
Smart isnt that guy also, I would recommend Ish Smith for a cheaper floor general, Marcus Smart takes tons of Hero Ball at the end games and always hurt the Celtics
Coach, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
I love smart, and I appreciate everything he’s done in Boston, but all the diving on the floor, clapping on defense and all the shithousary has really blinded a lot of fans to the fact that he’s waaaaay to inconsistent as a primary ball handler and loves hero ball too much to ever be a main contributor to a title winning team.
Been trying to explain this to the group chat for a whole week now but the first 5 minutes of this video gives me all the evidence I need!
Yeah people are dumb as fuck. I’ve been trying to explain this for four years
True Celtic fans who watches the game will know Smart has been a huge liability for a long time. I'm not sure if Porzingis will make us better but just having DWhite starting and Brogdon as backup will already make us better.
@@velvetstigma4961 exactly
Smart had to take shots because the Celtics two best players constantly fold under pressure and run away from the ball
@@babobenson5203 Lmaooooooo, oh so that’s what happened @ 3:20 when Smart decided to take that ill advised shot? It’s brown and Tatum who weren’t looking for the ball 😂😂😂😂
Im surprised Jokic is high on that PnR ball handler turnover list.
Thought that was this 3pt % as the pop man
All of the best point guards are also leaders in turnovers. It comes with being a high usage player. The problem is that Marcus Smart isn’t a high usage player, but still has high turnovers
Great vid 100% agree
interesting to see Jokic so high on the turnover % list for PnR ball handlers. A video about that would be interesting
Tldr, high usage means high turnovers
I mean he’s attempting passes that only he can make fr. Some of those are gonna get stolen
The only thing that matters is points per possession when Jokić runs the pick and roll.
@@nickfowler547 if thats the case he should be less flashy and do the simple pass instead. one handed instant no look passes look great but if they get intercepted a simple pass is the better option.
@@johnmarkson1998 he makes the right decision more often than not he’s just got an absurdly high usage rage. His AST/TO ratio is still pretty good
As a celtics fan I can see why they moved off of Smart, as KP opens up so many different forms of offense and can allow Tatum to take his offense to a whole new level. While also taking pressure off JB. However I would have significantly liked to move off of Brogdon as well. He also made many mistakes throughout the season and had the 4th or so lowest FG% around the rim. Not to mention he was always being head hunted in the post season. If we had traded Brogdon I would have viewed this trade as an instant win. As our defense would have finally been fully complete and our offense would have 2 whole new dimensions to it. However since we gave up Smart I have to wait to see Brad’s next move before deciding fully what I think on this trade, but I already view it as win just not as much as the original Brogdon - KP - MM trade package
Perfect example of Dunning Kruger
Who, smart?
Great breakdown
I'm a 3o year celts fan here and I love Marcus. But I am so glad that it ended up being Marcus instead of brogdan that got traded. I think brogdan is so much better as a starting point guard. I love it. I just hope he can be healthy. I also would love if they can keep pritch as their backup. And kristaps is amazing
Brogdan will be coming off the bench if he is not traded because he is Mr. glass
Video is 100% on point. Marcus Smart being traded is Addition by Subtraction for the Celtics
Smart brought a lot of good things to the team, but he had major deficiencies that didn’t allow the offense to thrive in certain spots.
Good luck warming the bench with this guy.
Moving another guard in Smart was good but considering Brogdon's health, they might need to go after another one. Pritchard is good but he's too small and always gets cooked in PnR. We could use that 2 FRP to get a backup point guard. We're already covered in front court, just need to manage Rob Will's and Porzingis' minutes carefully before postseason.
I'm pretty surprised we didn't go for Delon Wright as well in the KP trade, would have been a perfect fit imo
Thank God someone’s finally exposing this guy, straight G league player. Probably cost the Celtics 2 rings already
This video needed to be made 💯
Dang, it's unfortunate for Jason Tatum that his best year shooting the three was 103 years ago
The Celtics have 2 great isolation players, meanwhile it seemed like Marcus smart would take every single game winning/clutch shot
Says a lot about those "great" players...
@@babobenson5203not really I think it says more about marcus smart trying to be the hero/floor general all the time when he should give up the ball
If Wembenyama was putting up numbers that Porzingis out up last season people will be saying he's the best prospect ever
Coach Nick, it's no secret that you haven't been a huge Smart fan over the years. While I don't disagree with your criticisms of Smart, I think some examples aren't really examples of his flaws. Like the shot against the Heat in game 6. Smart took the shot there because he had a decent look, and in the prior series Tatum went too late at the end of game and Smart couldn't get a shot off in the half second he had. He said in the game 6 post game, he wasn't going to lose another game because of something like that. Also, when you take a shot that quickly, you give yourself a opportunity at a second chance look. I think it's worth noting that Smart has been an awesome end of game player for the Celtics throughout his career, especially in the playoffs. He also has played through many injuries most people wouldn't and still remained an effective player while doing so. Last, I think it should be noted how key the Smart, Tatum two man game has been over the past 3 seasons or so.
I think you're slightly off with your praise of Brogdon as well. Malcolm is an awesome play maker out of the pick and roll, a great 3 point shooter, and awesome piece off the bench. However; I don't think you can pencil him in as an end of game guy because he has a tendacy to get horrible tunnel vision. I think anyone who watched the Celtics this year knows that Brogdon occasionally will decide he's just gonna shoot no matter what. The other flaw with Brogdon is his finishing abilities around the rim are really streaky. He has more games than he should where he loses his touch or it just is slightly off for the night. While I do think he's an awesome piece I think you glossed over a few warts.
That being said, there's even more places where Smart's absence could be beneficial, starting with his streakiness. Smart game has always been an up and down affair. When you have a gluttony of guards you would think that wouldn't be an issue, but given Smart's importance and history with the team, it sounds like the coaches this season struggled benching him during his down games. Another issue with Smart is his inability to play through a bad whistle. Smart has always had issue with playing with purpose and focus when the officiating starts to skew in favor of the other team. He gets hyper focused on trying to make the refs make the same calls both ways, and it has cost the team meanigful possesions on both ends of the court throughout his career. I think the team has always matched Smart's energy since IT left and these issues have, in the past 2 seasons, plagued the Celtics. I think there's a chance his absence this year could cause that to change.
This was a great breakdown
no one gonna talk about how clever the title of this video is? lol
Thank you for making this video. Smart was the ceiling of the Celtics by just ridiculous turnovers, often immediately after he made a huge hustle play that people were still cheering to not note he then turned the ball back over negating that play. Glad to see him leave, but the Celtics still need a true PG; unsure they will find one though.
I have not been this excited as a Celtics fan since we got Garnet. Whenever we have a dominant big man, we are so damn good and now we finally have one again. It’s been too long. Porziņģis is coming into his prime at 27. The sky is the limit with how this offense can be run.
Prepare for disappointment if you're counting on KP.
@@imdbtruth shut up hater kp as a 3rd option is great for any team and he’s healthy rn that’s all that matters
@@imdbtruthi still have faith in the unicorn
@jalynjones9136 It's true, the Celtics do have bigger problems than KP, I mean Tatum is their number one option 😆 🤣
@@imdbtruthCome again? Please tell me who is the only undefeated team in the NBA rn?🤣😤
when Tatum played power forward in 1920?
I think you’re off on that coach … not even based on on court production but off the court
He’s the heart and soul of their team also he’s the one who really gives it his all and does what’s required of him
"the heart and soul" doesn't help you when hes bad at everything else and overrated at the one thing he's good at. Winning requires talent. Not some movie cliche nonsense.
Fr
Did you even watch the video ? No one said he wasn’t.
Great analysis, only lacking some stats and footage of KP's passing ability including lobs and football passes
the music is Lotus 72 D by Ze Roberto for all the MPB fans out there.
Tatum been playing since 1920 and he’s still only 19, incredible
The game 6 shot by Smart is a great play. Anyone who can’t recognize Tatum was immediately doubled coming off so Smart got a quick shot that lets you get a possible tip
Smart had many great plays and clutch shots, the amount of times he caused us the game are more than the wins
6:54 he said Jayson Tatums best year in 1920
Always come her for the TRUTH. Also, I didn't realise Marcus is actually hilarious. Somehow Shaq missed out on this guy?
I love Smart but yeah it's a good trade by Brad. Gonna miss him though as Celtic
Smart is not an asset, He's a Liability. You cant question his heart but his inconsistencies in his talents and abilities just makes it hard for the C's to go get that Championship. Getting Porzingis doesn't guarantee anything but in my opinion it gives them a better chance on winning it all.
I understand looking at the negatives he brought since he's gone and we're trying to look at the upside of the trade, but c'mon he is definitely an asset.
@@YouCanCallMeReTrohe’s still not a championship point guard
Jaylen Brown your next video BBALLBREAKDOWN 💪💪💪
Hes been the thorn in the roster since Isaiah left.. he felt like it was his job and it impacted: Terry Rozier’s, Kyrie’s, Hayward’s, Kemba’s and have always impacted tatum and browns game… now the team can finally play at their full potential without the crazy plays and turnovers and circus show of a basketball game. The celtics have finally realized that Marcus Smart is the worst 4th quarter player in nba history and had the guts to stand up to him😂 and trade him! I didnt think we could land porzingis for him what a move! 🍀
Bro so based, smart is a poor offensive player, and he’s not a lockdown defender like people think, he’s a great team defender but his poor shooting and decision making counteract that
I like the music in this one
Can you do video about Spain matadors play style.
coach this one broke my heart
Haha me too, I refuse this Marcus Smart slander. But dang, the numbers dont lie
@@andyhou1977 it isn’t slander he hasn’t been good offensively for a long time. Celtics need a real playmaker, and hopefully Brad will make another move with those picks.
Tatum and Brown did not run the floor in 2023 like they did the year before. This is the cause of the transition passing woes.
I think Brogdon and White are better decision makers than smart. Not only in passing but in shot selection. Talking about passes tho, he usually passes the ball 1 second too late. I realized while watching the video. He totally disrupts transtions by making kind of a very slow step to be aware of the situation. I get that Celtics fans love him because he's a dog and he would die for the colours, but I don't think he had the level of a starting PG in the league. You just have to look at his shooting % thru his career. He's in love with heavy contested shots. I think Brogdon is more of a willing passer than Smart and a better spot-up shooter.
P.D.: I like how Westbrook is above Smart in every single turnover related category you showed up. PG has been selling him the whole summer on his podcast as a the starting point guard the Clippers needed to take a leap. He's standing up for his teammate but he's blind af.
wanna know how good/important Marcus Smart is? He was traded alone. no second player or picks. Porzingis was happier than ever last season and healthy and gave litterally no indication of second guessing resigning with the wizards. This was awesome for the celtics, sent Smart to a relevant team in regaurds of where he would fit in, and We got, in my opinion, what we needed. An extra center to back up 50% availability in Rob Lob and 56 year old Al Horford...and we got Kristaps Por-effin-zingis. Go Celts!
Are you making a CP3 Warriors video
I thought this was a bad trade for the Celtics but you convinced me
This was 100% the right move for the celtics and you made some great points, but the problem is that brogdon might not be around considering we tried to trade him to LA beforehand.
Maybe, but moving Smart right after probably tells him some guard had to go and now you're safe.
Great video as usual. However a little thing that bugged me was you calling White a "sharpshooter" then calling Brown an "average" one right afterwards lol
That is just factually true.
I feel bad for anyone who thinks brown is a good 3 point shooter lmao
@@jwatson181 White was 3% better on 3 less 3PA last season, on mostly open looks whereas Jaylen took plenty of contested, off the dribble. I'm going to take 5 years of shooting data over a single outlier season from both players. Bball ref is a free website, I'd look at it from time to time if I were you
@@xnrq 3 seasons right below 40%, and a career average of 36.5%. Calling him average and White a sharpshooter is all what I had an issue with, no where did I say he was "good." It is factually disingenuous to call White, a career below average to bad 3pt shooter a "sharpshooter."
Because he is below avg, brown shot like 32% last year. Which white shot 38%
I was looking for this video 30 mins ago
9 years with the Celtics. Fans are now saying "How could we send Smart out??? He's the key to the defense and a locker room leader! He's valuable? Smart can't leave!!!"'
What are we talking about here? After 9 years there's no championship. Would these people want rinse and repeat? And if there was another trade to be made, what trade would that be? The Brogdan trade was nixed.
Coach Nick instantly turned into a C's fan now that Smart is gone
And?
@@alexthai5223 didn't know Coach Nick had a burner account lol jk
These NBA heights are wild :) 7-4! Now he has caught up to Boban! At 27!
Coach Nick can you do CP3 to the warriors because Not alot of people think that make sense.
Such a great and underrated trade
Leadership - with daddy Marcus gone it's gonna have to be a JB or JT. That is the biggest addition in this trade, sir.
You mean the two supermax conract guys need to step up, sir? Wow had no idea
Brogdon and White are leaders…
however the KP contract makes it unlikely they resign if he has a great year - what is the bos cap situation?
As much as I hate to admit this you are right
Not a big Celtics fan but this move makes total sense
marcus smarts plays as if he is a 2nd or 1st option when that just isnt his skill set.
please bring the background music back
When the Celtics made the trade I immediately thought about how pumped coach would be that smart is gone.
He plays for Boston now, KP is going to get more calls now.
i have seen many times where smart had the ball to make a winning play, he throws the ball away almost all the time. Some of them happen in a elimination playoff game. i still dont know why he has the ball in those moments
I don’t watch many Celtics games but Smarts passing ability is Westbrookian at best lol
People calling this slander, it isn’t slander it’s just facts. Smart isn’t a good or intelligent offensive player. He has frustrated me as a Celtics fan for so long now. Happy we made this move, but I’m hopping Brad makes another move for a playmaker with those draft picks. Maybe Dejounte Murray or someone of that caliber.
I’ve been saying Smart needs to go for a minute
I’ve been saying it for 4 years
what happened to yam madar?
kristaps on the bench smoking bench players that will be hectic they need another guard
I don’t think Celtics starting 5 should exclude Al Horford. He is always a positive to Celtics in both offence and defence.
What's stopping Giannis from winning a title was Eric Bledsoe. What's stopping Boston from competing for a title was Marcus Smart.
Best comment here. Perfectly right about Eric Bledsoe. Been out league quite some time now
Hopefully, he doesn't get injured getting ready for/playing in FIBA, like Gallinari.
How about defense coach? are they better without smart?
Yes but idk about the brogdon Derrick jaylen Tatum Porzingis lineup
Smart is my favorite Celtics but I like this move from Celtics “if” Porzingis stay healthy.
The zingus pingus trade was decent however all that will mean nothing after the JB contract. They slammed their window shut after basically this year. Good luck Boston, you turned yourself into Philly
I like the word play
I thought that Boston traded Brogdon, but it's good that they didn't, he can be their starting PG.
Great video title haha!
2:52 All the other lists stop at Smart, but for this one, Coach Nick wants you to know who #3 is. 😂
Didnt know Tatum played in 1920 lol 6:55
How does the effect the warriors chance to win the finals???
1:30. EGREGIOUS carry by Smart. The refs are blind.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that. And I’m a Celtics fan
