    Ur not interested in this team, ur more interested in being right. How someone can b**** so much on a player who was instrumental in almost a 20 point win is mind boggling. WTF man, enjoy the win and appreciate the effort these players are putting out this season. Smh

    Bill worrell has this problem also...

    Liked seeing some low post step backs from Smith (Dirk style)! If he can start practicing an perfecting those shots (like harden), we got ourselves a real threat coming off the bench.

    I truly love Dwight, and I'm his biggest supporter...but tonight was bad.

    I thought after the head butt thing that Howard would beast & feast, but he rushed it tonight, to much adrenaline maybe?

    But we won, & that's the main thing.


    Here's hoping Dwight bounces back next game.

    they should continue to hold him out. it's not like we are in the midst of fighting for a playoff spot, and we were winning without him.

    really, Dwight right now is nothing more than a glorified Dorsey. at least Dorsey knows his role on the team and doesn't pout when not getting his touches.

    You sir are wrong, I am trying to keep it real, when Josh plays well, I will say it. But it seems folks have lowered their expectations lately, and that is not acceptable if you want to win a championship.

    He did not play badly, nor did he play well, he did well on D and ok on O.

    I can't lie, I thought when she got with Jay-Z she might forget about Houston and join on the Nets team. But look when Harden makes the 3 on Alan, she gives a fist pump and throw up the H. Yeah, that's her.

    I hope Dwight will be 100 percent ready for the next game. We won't get very far without him.

    at this point, i'll say that i'll be pleasantly surprised if he plays well in the next game. the Magic are up next, and their starting center, Vucevic, is a double-double machine who just put up 33/11 against one of the better defensive center in Noah. what's ironic is that the Magic were pulling all the stops to keep Dwight, who basically forced a trade to the Lakers that brought Vucevic to Orlando. guess the Magic dodged a bullet there.

    He's good, but he's a HUGE minus on defense. He puts up great numbers without having a great impact on the game. Should be a fun matchup with all their young players. Dipo vs. Harden should be awesome.

    I think a lot of people dont realize that there's abig difference between someone who just puts up big numbers and someone like Harden who impacts the game and makes the plays at the right time that helps a team win.

    These are alternates. They ain't played with throwbacks in at least five years

    I still prefer the alternates over the red and silver. I've noticed they've been wearing those a lot more lately. Do the Rockets have control over this or does the league decide when and how often they can wear them?

    Wish we could blow a team out and keep it that way, always teams come back down to 15-10 points. Seems like it was a lot easier in the 2nd half..

    I look at Smith as if he's having to re-learn his own game, so to speak. I think that is a process that will take several weeks if not months. Once he remembers what he does well and the positive impact that can have on a team, I think he'll gain more confidence and really help this squad.

    He's done nothing but create bad habits for himself the past 2+ seasons so he needs some time to break those bad habits. If he can't break them, he's gone.
