Things didn't go particularly well for Jason Smith tonight in Philly. For one, he lost a substantial amount of work load to the new guy Bojan Bogdanovic - something that may actually stick as Scott Brooks looks to amp up his bench's scoring production.
But even more strikingly for Smith was the fact that, once again, he got snubbed from getting dap from a teammate after clearly extending his arm out for it. You recall a few months ago when Smith's fist bump attempt with Otto Porter failed so miserably he tried to play it off but instead looked like he was playing a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors with an invisible friend.
And it happened again tonight, when Markieff Morris completely disregarded Smith's outstretched arm, forcing Smith to say eff it, I'll give myself some gotdamn love.
Not sure if any of these snubs were deliberate, but with the playoff push in full force, there can't be any lost love among the players. To make up for the high-five mess, I call on Kelly Oubre to not only make sure he gives Jason Smith his proper daps, but as a man who's touted as a "handshake extraordinaire", he needs to also come up with a fancy secret handshake like the one he had with DeJuan Blair.
