    Smith is a far better defender, can defend 3 positions. He has always been a great defender. D Mo gets lost down low and was getting blown past by players when he played this season, granted he wasn't game fit

    Kick ass... This team needs with nasty demeanor.. He adds some shot blocking, scoring, good passing and opens up the floor with the threat of the 3..

    A lot of mocking of the deal when I have been told the biggest reason we were in the WCF was this guy playing and Harden being on the bench.

    The best the Rockets can do is go 34-4 to match their 56-26 record of last year. Yeah right. Don't see that happening. If the team continues to play the same this year, I say their looking like a 42-40 or 41-41 team.

    I don't know how much Smith is gonna make this team improve since the damage has already been done to the Rockets before the All-Star break.

    He posted a pic on his Instagram in his Rox gear that says "I'm coming home." Gotta love JSmoove!

    need to get everyone healthy now and we will be fine

    would rather Smith dribbling down the court off a rebound than Jones

    why do you assume that though? nothing to really suggest that. there isn't an off and on switch especially defensively when you're this bad

    Let's hope this puts us back to where we were when we were in the playoffs. This team is too talented to be 7th seed.

    some people just over rate D Mo way too much, he has great post moves but is never healthy

    i like him, i just don't over rate him because of what he can do when in a groove
