    Great W against the much hated Mavs! TJones played great for his first game back and JSmith is starting to get going. Team just needs some practice time that this month has not allowed with the tough schedule. Need to finish the month strong and get the next two on the road.

    Rockets are just plain better than the Mavs.

    Smith might have found the perfect spot for him to take threes, he really looked like he was following through on the shot more than normal and wasn't rushing it

    Enjoying the D that will only get better as the season rolls along. Hope Morey can get PG by the trading deadline.

    Am I crazy to say that Josh Smith might be a somewhat ok corner 3 point shooter?

    So does anyone think that Smith working with Hakeem helped any?

    The Rockets play only 10 games in February. Plenty of time for practice.

    Only if Hakeem was the reason Smith hit four 3s.

    Stunned me too. When Harden passed it to Smith to shoot that late 3 I was pissed but it passed quickly to elation.

    Whaddaya think training with Hakeem is all about?

    Hakeem ain't practicing his post moves anymore, he sees himself as a 3 point specialist.

    Josh Smith was beastly defensively... not to mention he had a good shooting night.

    But I was more impressed with his defense.

    What's embarrassing is continuing to talk trash throughout the play and even after the play is over going into a timeout. Even going towards their end of the court
