    Thanks, Clutch!

    Can't wait for the next game even though it's in SA.

    Would prefer to see you write a recap of the game. It was a doozy.

    I thought he played great. Those 2 rebounds over Vince Carter down the stretch were beyond epic.

    Anyone else notice how they didn't call the "free arm" (I guess you'd call it) when Smith spun off his opponent tonight? He is really good at doing it without the refs seeing it. I wonder if he will get away with it all season.

    Is Smith good enough to be the Rockets second playmaker? He has good ball handling, great vision and passing.

    Josh was hammered a couple of times at the basket and didnt get the call... those missed shots hurt his fg%

    Don't you love when Bev gets in his face telling him he did good. Love the intensity and love our teammates show.

    Thought he played good but would like more efficiency than 21 pts on 21 shots.

    But after just one practice with the team he excedded expectation.

    He looks really happy to be here. Couldn't get that slight grin off of his face near the end of the interview with Bull.

    Great game from Smith. Basically replaced TJones except much better rebounding, defense and better passing. Of course he took two or three bone-headed shots but you'll live with those as everything else he did more than cancels it out.

    I expect to see him in the starting lineup by Sunday, Tuesday at the latest.

    Howard and Dmo for whatever reason were just not getting that many shots, someone had to step up and he did.

    Hopefully Smith will take on an Ariza role of just doing all the little things and taking shots within the flow of the offense.

    Smooth is what TJones ceiling would be if he ever reaches it.

    Oh yeah we have something special this year for sure

    J-Smoove is a great acquisition. Trade deadline should be intriguing this year if TJones is healthy by then

    Seems to me like he knew he got away with so many fouls on Josh Smith who would not let go of the ball until he tackled him. He tried his best. Smith has good hands. Brewer....seems to lose the ball sometimes when he goes in for the layup. He finishes well, fully extends his long arms making it difficult to block.
