This team needs to stay in the top 8. Playoffs is when it matters.

This team hasn't gotten "thuggier" with the addition of Josh Smith.

This team has become more of a bonehead squad with the addition of Josh Smith to Patrick Beverley and Dwight Howard.

The triumvirate of boneheads.

The only one of them who is worth his weight is Howard when he's not playing injured/uninspired.

Maybe it was a poor chioce of words , but I felt that I had to encapsulate the feeling of playing both dumb basketball and having a poorer attitude. While the rockets have never played particularly smart , at the beggining of the season we made enough solid, smart plays to win games. Now playing dumb is the main mode and our good stretches aren't long enough to beat good teams. We had decent stretches during even this game where we were playing hard and not forcing up things on offense. However they didn't last for long enough and golden states shooting can't always be stopped. There has been a noticeable difference in our style of play with smith and then with Dwight back. We are trying to invent a new style and these two aspects which I've discussed are negative elements to how we are playing now . I like that we have done a better job at getting Dwight the ball when he is fronted, but the negatives of smith outweighs the positive. I can't wait and we need jones back playing well.

Has the game day fan experience become more urban since Josh Smith became a Rocket?

If you think this basketball team is "thuggier", than you have absolutely no clue what "THUGGISH" is. If you want to really know, I'm sure a few of us on here would be happy to show you some "Thuggier" people, lol! GTFOH dude!

You're so obvious it's funny.....So Josh "thug" nature has hurt this wholesome team. We all know now that "thug" is the new "N!@@er" but that's not the point. We live in a pass the buck, point the finger society and someone has to be blammed. So it was Josh "thug" plays last night that cause D-Mo to play like a middle school center or Dwight to be mentally weak? Don't Harden lead the team and amongst the league leaders in turnovers? Nope, that's Josh the Thugs fault too. LOL Why are you watching a team full of thugs anyway? Tatoo have'n, hip hop wearing, shuck'n and jive'n team of ours! Thugs everywhere!!! Hide the kids and white women! lolol

Maybe low basketball IQ is catching. Smith is a "skilled" player: amazing passes, great positioning, rebounder, etc. BUT seems to make "mind blowing" decisions at times during games. Hard to figure out, just who he is. I don't know, maybe we were better without him.

We look like a dumb team right now, all that yapping our mouths and not showing up in big games. I'm look at Dwight, but also Harden, Josh was already a knucklehead and we're just not a team.

Our team has not gotten thuggier! Our team has gotten tougher. The problem is last years team was built to beat the Golden State Warriors but not built to beat the Portland Trailblazers. This season, the Rockets are built to beat the Trailblazers and not built to beat the Warriors.

Another thing...we were hated before Smith got here. We're hated by the national media because of THEIR issues with Dwight and because we're not Dallas (the Hollywood of Texas)
