    Overall Smith shot 7-11 which is one of his best shooting games as a Rocket..... if not the best one

    i didn't have a problem with his shot selection last nite. but his driving into the lane and jumping to make a pass has to stop immediately. seems like he's still not comfortable in the offense and panics way too much. coaching staff needs to get him to either make a quick move or take his time b/c right now he hesitates and then plays right into the defense.

    Harden's last shot was a 2 and not a 3 right?

    I just wish that Rockets starts abuse their strong sides instead of playing with their ego. DMo is much better at posting, Dwight is much better at rebounds and finishing so why the hell Rockets do everything other way.

    Also check the +/- ratio, you will mostly see that DMo almost always had the best or second best ratio.

    I wonder if you have any imagination bro? ...DMO easily scores on almost anyone guarding him and averages 10 ppg with only 2-3 plays a game specialy designed for him...

    is that hard to imagine that if given twice the possesions he would easily score 20ppg and perhaps more...the man is the artist with the ball in the paint...how about feeding him the ball 3 times you feed him now?


    dont you see now that it is not so much of a stretch to think he would perhaps score 20-30 average?

    and imagine him refining his skills (it can be expected with more usage) and increasing confidence even more? making him even more effective and free to play knowing he will be fed the ball regardless of hit or miss..

    dmo is almost unstoppable...and hes more efficient than Harden...its just that its not in rockets interest that he scores so much cause they would have to pay him max MONEY... so they are not feeding him the ball in order to extend him on cheap...

    not gonna happen

    it would cost them too much money...DMO is on the verge of having a breakout year... Less is in this for money and hes not going to pay DMO max (what he deserves) and scary Dwight reducing him to role player so Dwight has to opts out next year...

    ya i gave you a pass on the first post thinking maybe you just typed without thinking perhaps. but now again, you are putting dmo in the same class as harden offensively. we are talking about the leading scorer in the nba at 27+ and you are claiming dmo could be averaging 30ppg with more touches. lol. and also, wtf. :grin:

    DMOs shots in that last stretch in the game were coming up short and he was being pushed off his spot by Morris. He's shown flashes but in a game like last night, Terrence would have been much more.effective

    Also, one last thing, Dorsey has been really reliable lately. From where he was at the start to where he is now has been such a great surprise. Guess this is what Daryl had envisioned.

    He seems quicker and more active than Dwight right now.

    Sorry, but no. With more touches I don't think that DMO is going to be in contention to be the league's scoring champion. C'mon man.

    Truth is, I was looking forward for this game. I wanted to see Dragic, the player we have been talking about for sometime. But he didnt show up. He was kinda lost. So dissapointed... Papa did as much as expected.

    So DMo with 'free reign" would be the leading scorer of the NBA?

    Just read this gem from him and then put him on ignore.

    The kid's delusions of grandeur are up there with the crazier Lin fans.

    So you are going to base your perspective of Dragic off one game where he was benched for most of it due to getting a technical foul?
