    McHale needs to bring the new guys in one or two at a time, when you have Smith, Schved and Brewer on the court at the same time with Dorsey and Terry?

    That is like YMCA chemistry - it is just not going to work, those guys don't know each other....bring them in with the main guys, sub some of them out earlier, and bring them back earlier and bring in other new guys.

    MIX IT UP SOME, Kevin!

    I disagree. He's passed the ball very well. He should have at least 3-4 assists. Just too many missed shots. And one pass that wasn't caught by Harden.

    I wish Dwight would just really bring it against Marc Gasol, the best center in the NBA.

    This is a matchup he's supposed to be up for. Not asking him to shut him down, just look like he's out to prove Gasol is a lesser player.

    The problem is that the Grizzlies aren't an exception as regards Dwight. Sorry, it's just the truth.

    He is the leading shot taker tonight, so far. :p

    4-10 9 points 3 rebounds 1 assist to Ariza (for 3)

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Josh Smith is 4-10 from the field in 1st half of his Rockets debut. He's taken most shots of anyone on team (7 more than Dwight Howard)</p>&mdash; ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/548664157995020289">December 27, 2014</a></blockquote>

    Smith actually sets a good hard screen too, he's not just looking to get the ball back and set some half screen thingy...

    Why does Dwight look so bad? Turnovers, really bad on post move

    Shved and Dwight look lost. Dmo too.

    Shved over Canaan is confusing for me.

    Your point guard is James Harden.

    Easy ... glue Dorsey and Shved to the bench in the 2nd half and we can win this!

    I hear you but Dwight can't do a close out with a hand up on the 3 ? I mean the halftime break isn't enough recovery time from the heavy effort of running out and putting your hand up ?

    Shved is our new Lin

    Has one or two decent plays but will kill us with is defense and bad decisions

    J smith played very much in control and really well. Two quick fouls on Howard screwed our game plan if there was a game plan. I hope smith start for the 2nd half, and use Dmo to POST UP. I m sick watching Howard doing all the post ups while Dmo just stands around.
