Thank god for Smith, I love Asik but the fact that Smith can catch and finish doesn't make me cringe everytime there's a big man on the floor for the Rockets to catch and finish.
It really irritates me that Lin doesn't learn and his antiRocket fans never quit b****ing about Asik. They were b****ing about Asik's catches before the game even started, then he got a pass at his toes in traffic and turned it over and then there was a deluge of I told you so's. Asik works hard, he keeps getting better, and he's made a big difference on this team. But there's all this preemptory b****ing about a bobbled pass, b****ing when it happens, and self-congratulatory b****ing ad nauseum after the fact. Who passed those two that Asik turned and dunked? You know who has stone hands? It's even his nickname, or one of them - DeAndre Jordan. You never see his point guard's fans talking about how he would have a good assist to turnover ratio if only he had a center who could catch the ball and finsih. You think it makes Lin look better if you b**** about Asik. It doesn't.
