[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 838960, member: 2299"] I don't agree. Don't get me wrong, Lairy certainly won the match up but overall though he was 9-19 and 3 - 9 from 3. A good game for sure, but not getting whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and a fair amount of his shots were tough shots. As good a defender as Jose was there were times the same thing happened to him. It will happen to even the best defenders some of the time because ultimately defense is usually more about making things hard rather than outright stopping. But sometimes guys make hard shots. The thing Smith needs to learn is to not let his speed get him out of position as that was usually what allowed Lairy to get some of his better looks. Guys with his level of quickness often are used to being able to rely on it to recover after getting out of position. Some of the time he'll be able to do it at this level. Some of the time he won't. He'll learn when he can't as he gets more experience. [/QUOTE]
