He's stupid, but he's a scapegoat for the refs. They're the ones who really blew it in the clutch. They owe him BJ's for the distraction.
Hill should be getting more blame, too.
I fear that GS will win game 2 handily, split the 2 in Cleveland, and then close it out in game 5 at home.
Which will be a shame cause this couldve been a good one. And I realize it still can but its hard to not be pessimistic.
I don't think people should be that hard on Smith. On the net, that was a positive play. Let's not forget he got a rare offensive rebound off a FT and ran out the clock. That's a much better result than GS getting a final shot.
He said he knew it was tied and he tried to get enough space to take a shot then he thought Lebron was about to call a timeout so he just stopped.
Hill should have made the free throw, but players miss free throws, that happens.
