    Smith fell on Howard's left knee

    Pray it's not his MCL...

    He wouldn't be able to walk if he tore something.

    Looks like he went back to test it in the tunnel, got some ice, and now is back in the game...

    I really hope Biles didn't let Howard make this decision.

    Smith is hurting the Rockets in more ways than one.

    He came back in the game towards end of 1st quarter. Looked good so far.

    This happened to me once except the offensive player first stood on my foot then fell on my leg so I couldn't get out of the way. I feel the pain but Howard got back out there, hopefully he is actually okay.

    Seems ok. We need playoff Dwight, not reg. season Dwight.

    Stupid Smith, what an idiot. This better not hurt our chances. They can't do anything out there with a healthy Howard.

    Dwight's not jumping. He could've easily blocked that Green drive but he just stayed on the ground and put his hands out which led him to drawing the foul.

    He needs to not be playing. He isn't even jumping.

    I feel like this is going to be s problem...When joints move week, they can absorb hits like this better, but Dwight doesn't have good mobility.

    The Rockets only shot in this series was a dominant Dwight. It's very clear he's hurt, and that's downright depressing.
