Your Morning Dump... Where Marcus Smart's New Year's Resolution was to become Ray Allen

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

Marcus Smart continued his hot streak from 3-point range Friday night, going 4-for-4 from downtown in the first quarter and finishing 6-for-8 by the end of the Celtics’ 122-116 win over Memphis.

He has shot .485 (16-for-33) over seven games in January. Maybe it’s time not to consider the guard’s progress a surprise.

I thought he was going to have a really good shooting year last year,” coach Brad Stevens said.
