Acknowledgment of one three pointer and one turnover - that's a good start. Can you speak to us about his defensive impact with Dwight out, tonight?
I don't care about tonight -- I still wish he would not shoot threes. He is so good at putting the ball on the floor to attack the basket and at passing that his threes are a constant tragedy. Yes, they went in tonight and helped us beat a good team. Next thing you know though they are not going in, and they are helping us lose to a bad team...or in the playoffs... Great game by Smith overall, threes or not -- but I really wish he would not shoot them. If you have space in front of you Josh, use it to attack the basket, and if the defense collapses then use your great passing abilities to get the ball to someone who is actually good at shooting threes. Harden could use an assisted shot now and then -- and you are just the man to give it to him.
he should shoot three's since he's able to make them but he needs to limit them. 2 threes a game is fine, if he's hot then shoot some more. not many bigs can even make a three. he deostn wanna stop so let him shoot it but limit them
Josh Smith will be fine and I can think of guys that have way way more issues than him. He is a bonus on the team.
If Dwight is healthy, do we feel a little better about defending Lopez/LMA this year if we get them matched up with us again?
Loved his defense on dirk last night. His length and athleticism will help a bunch come playoff time.
The corner ones are ok. I don't mind a couple attempts a game. It's the ones at the top of the key when he doesn't have a defender within 10 feet of him that bug me. At least take a couple dribbles inside the 3-point line and attempt an 18-footer if you have to shoot it.
