    I'm glad these trades happen in December rather than February. The chemistry is obviously not there but I'm loving the potential on how this can turn out.

    Smith looks good on the help defense, passing, running the floor, etc. Just as advertised.

    People are ragging on players that have barely been here either a day or a week. Either way, calm down!

    Smith with already the most shots in the team. Must be our number 1 option now...

    it almost looks like he doesn't really know what his role is on the team yet.

    like he hasn't practiced with the team yet.

    He doesn't realize you don't get body foul calls when you are wearing a Rockets jersey.

    Smith does need to just take a deep breath.

    But Howard has been a comedy of errors so far. Need to settle down.

    Shved has NOTHING defensively. Looks like he plants his feet and reaches no matter where he is.

    Offensively, at worst, he is someone else who can put the ball on the floor, and create a shot for someone else. At best, he could be dynamic. Not sure if we'll see his best here or not, but at least they are giving him a chance.

    That's because he has zero quickness and very poor court awareness and does not shoot the ball very well. That's just from how he has played as a Rocket so far.

    He hasn't even had one practice.......... Seriously? Can we at least wait a couple of games before we label smith a bust?

    I like what Smith is giving so far...needs time in the gym refining his post game with Mchale.

    You can say josh smith is taking good shots because of location but he misses them historically

    Lotta people overreacting to small sample sizes... give them a few weeks to get used to each other... biggest issue on defense seems to be a lack of familiarity between all the new pieces.

    We're down by 4 against the Grizz in their house, and already the overreactions start.

    Marc Gasol owns Dwight. I pretty much accept it every time we play Memphis.

    Unfortunately, McHale is in love with him...rather see Canaan!
