Marcus Smart is a quick healer

[DERRENMATTS]

Today, Marcus Smart was shooting three’s, and he looked fluid. Best part, he wasn’t in pain.

Too early to tell yet when he’ll be allowed to play again. I’d rather he wait till he’s 100% healed versus coming back at 70%, reaggrevating his injury, and missing the postseason altogether.

But to be shooting already, wow, that’s super encouraging.

I'd rather he didn't shoot, even in practice!

I know it's good news, and we could probably use him, but I also liked the way we played without him and I'm concerned his return will take other guys out of their rhythm.

I’m nervous this iteration of the team is better without him. Not because smart isn’t impactful, but because it takes one less guy out of the rotation and gives Hayward and Brown a little more stability in consistent minutes.

Who knows, I’m sure we could use his defense against a Bucks team

I definitely think this team has one too many wing guard type guys
