    WTF is going on?

    He seems so disengaged out there, almost like he doesn't want to be there.

    Is there how he usually plays???

    How the **** does nobody pull him over though? Give Harden half those shots and we win.

    He was really, really awful. Dominated the ball early. Taking tough shots, was lucky to make one or two. Other buckets came off of Harden creating. At some point he had to realize he wasn't helping offensively and should focus more on passing and defense. Maybe he did later in the game but it should've happened much sooner.

    That in itself was bad but he was also a non factor on the boards and his defense wasn't as good either.

    I am probably Josh's biggest fan, but man...he lost us this one. Hurts, but it's true.

    My least favorite thing in all of the Josh Smith plays he makes for us is when he just ignores Harden and brings the ball up himself. That turnover he made was...I don't even have the words...

    He reminds me of the Ralph Sampson days, when most of the time Sampson just took up space and every once in a while, he would have a good game. Everyone would Ooooooo and Ahhhhh, and say he's finally showed up and turned it around, when in reality, the real Sampson was the weak no-show we saw most nights.

    This is what we got in Josh Smith. Once in a while a good game, most of the time he's killing us.

    When he's shooting bad. He doesn't contribute to anything.
