Josh Smith just showed why I have been calling Dirk one of the worst defensive players for years. Dirk has absolutely no clue how to guard...especially when it comes to pick and rolls. What makes it amusing is that he blows his assignment on defense and then starts whining and b****ing at his teammates. If I was Tyson Chandler, I would knock his teeth out next time he does it.

I was afraid he would shoot us out of the game in the first half, but DEAR LORD did he figure it out! Passing out of the low post and off the bounce was chilling. Once more, just for fun: "No, no, NOO-YESSS!"

That's more of a result of Harden creating everything and nobody else on the team really creating their own shots.
My brother (who got me following the Rockets and is a big fan) was skeptical of him coming) After he tried to justify his feeling with Josh's rough start I told him to judge what he does in the Playoffs. As he's a player who will lift his game. That was justified tonight. What a 3rd quarter. What a second half. He absolutely shredded Dallas. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Tonight I've never hated someone and loved someone more than J-smoove. I'm glad he found his smoove in the 2nd half and gave the rockets a much needed boost.
