The Marcus Smart experience with the Boston Celtics can be a wild ride, especially when it comes to his shooting.
In 67 regular season and playoff games last season, he shot 40% or better from deep 30 times. He also shot 20% or worse, 31 times.
The frustrating part for Smart is that 13 of those 31 bad shooting nights involved five or more 3-pointers, prompting a lot of people to scream at their televisions and beg Smart to take better shots.
“Guys are going to have nights when they make shots, don’t make shots and if they are wide open, inside-out shots, you have to shoot those,” Brad Stevens said after the team’s Monday practice.
