Harden has looked so much happier on the bench since we got Smoove back. like that run at the beg of the 4th

 

he's happier cuz smith has restored the rockets chances at going deep in the po's which gives harden another opportunity to kill their championship hopes
you saw that grin on his face, he was thinking "aww this gonna be fun. i cant wait to pass him the ball with two seconds left" :grin:

 

Ty needs to follow Josh's lead. Stop being passive and attack. That is the difference.

 

I felt like he was kind of doing that today, baby steps for to I guess.

 

He had some nice drives! You can kind of see a glimmer of Denver Ty. Maybe it will bloom for the Rockets sooner or later.

 

Man, thats what I said during that insane drive on that indian center guy. I was asking myself, how do you trade a talent like that? He needs to be more ballsy and shrug off Harden when he comes up to the top of the key, asking for an iso. Maybe some liquid-courage perhaps? I keed.... I keed.....

 

Ty needs to feel "empowered" to make those bold plays. Just do them. He can succeed. Just look at Josh the last two games.

 

Josh Smith highlights

an instance of good basketball IQ at :58 seconds...when he gets the ball from Harden to drive in, Deron Williams immediately squares up to draw the charge but Smith reads it and throws a nice pin point to an open Beverley in the corner for the 3

you already know Jones would've just ran over Williams and draw an offensive foul

 

TJ is driving into the paint to score no matter what.

I don't know how many times I hear that TJ was a guard in high school, yet I rarely see this play making ability.

 

He had those playmaking skills 2 years ago but he wasn't in a contract year at the time. He gotta get "his" no matter what.

 

He was being defended by Nowitzki, so I'd have to temper my long-term expectations. Some of those shots are not ones you'd like to see being taken on a regular basis.

Still, it's great to see some swagger and attitude. Definitely something this team has desperately needed.

 

Thanks for the video. Rep'ed.

 

The fake near the ending was dope, bamboozled teh Dirk.

 

Apart from the prayer he threw up at the end of the first, what other shots? Curios to know

 

32 seconds into the video, that spin move he does at the free throw line at the end of the shot clock after massaging the ball for several seconds.

Actually, that's about it. Given that he was defended by Dirk one on one, he did the right thing and took it hard to the rim often.

 

When josh starts getting on a roll no other player gets me so hyped up

Our team looks like they our starting to have fun and Ty is starting to gel in

 

Yeah yeah I feel you. It was one of those "no... no... NO... YES" shots, he wouldn't have settled for that shot if the clock was about to expire I am sure. He played downhill really well I thought, and when the D sagged off he made his threes. Loving his work

 

When he hit Dirk with that baseline spin fake, I jumped out my swat and yelped so loud my dog ran and hid lol. Josh brings so much to this team, we should consider ourselves lucky Doc was nice enough to give him back. His energy is infectious, Brew is playing hardee, Ty is starting to remember he's a top 10 pg and James is playing under control. This is all without Howard. Morey never should've let Josh go, so happy he's back
