    Just watched through dinner. Very humble and well-spoken guy. I think he has a lot of unfair labels around the league.

    He loves the team and the situation.

    Favorite part was when he said he and the bench guys see the game from a different angle than the starters, so they know what they need to bring to the game.

    Very humble. Can tell he loves Houston, was a AMAZING pick up this mid season. Can't wait for Dwight and Smoove to get back on the court together. Now that Smoove have been around the team for awhile, I'm going to see a ton of alleys from them two.

    When Joel started talking about how fans were saying "don't let him shoot the ball" when he first signed, I felt bad that he seemed to already know this. But man, his shooting has been unbelievable since staring here.

    Really do love his character, don't understand all the talk about how he was a locker room cancer in ATL and DET

    Was he one of the main go-to guys in his previous teams? Probably just suits his nature/game etc much better as a role player, rather than having to shoulder all the pressure.

    I like the way he is playing now, and like his personality.

    Enjoyed this, as always. Josh has done a great job of proving me wrong.

    This. Although I think maturity has a lot to do that. He has grown up and he is comfortable with his role. Most importantly, he loves this situation and I see a bright future with this dude.

    I love what Smoove has done here despite the occasional airballed three, but there's no way he's here next season. Some team will pay him at least the MLE

    He is going to be huge for us in the Playoffs.

    I cannot wait to see him, Brewer and Ariza in the ball game during a close game. They are players who thrive in that situation. And we didn't have any last season.

    Judging by their current performance, we are most likely gonna get plenty of missed shots and turnovers from Josh and company. He is an excellent defender, but the decision-making on offense is pretty damn suspect.
