    This is exactly why I didn't think he would leave, especially for the Clippers. But I guess Morey had no plans to unload TJones or Dmo anytime soon and Josh wanted to play. Can't blame him for that, but ahhhh the Clippers?!

    Damn, I'm so sad now. Really loved what Smith brought to his team. He was our x factor!

    It's weird. I don't see how much playing time he could get there, but maybe at both the 4 and 5 since their bench is so terrible.

    Well, Josh, I am left with tear-filled rationalizations...

    I hope we cheer for him in the TC. I'd hate for fans to be bitter about his leaving. He helped us get to the WCF.

    With CP3, Blake, Smoove, and DJ, it's lob country over there. They can run unlimited pick and rolls.

    Thanks for the memories Josh.

    Thanks for your contribution to the Houston Rockets. We could have never made it to the Western Conference finals without you. I am sad to see you go. Good luck with the Clippers.

    This is tough for me ... On the one hand I appreciate some of the moments that smith had . We can all say that he played poorly and boneheaded at times and create hypotheticals where his "heroics" don't matter if he plays smart all the time . However , smith actually had those great moments so I respect him coming through when times were bad ..

    That being said , screw him for going to LAC . Especially since he took less money to go there . I understand his role is important but this is a stupid decision for him . He has to know that injuries happen and he likely will play signifacanf mins for the rox at some point . Does this also mean he is scared to straight up battle TJ and DMO and Harrell for minutes straight up ? How sine so scared . He also should know that doc is full of **** .

    The rumors that he is "insulted" by the rox not offering full MLE ... I don't believe em , but if true what an asshat. He took LESS on principe ? He should be able to understand that the rox value him highly but are doing what they feel is best for the team as a whole . By keeping the mle open more options exist and it improves our chip chances . The fact that he is so insulted by us not offering him MLE that he decides to take less out of spite is ridiculous and if true I lost all respect for him even though I know he is a bonehead .

    Still remembering how we played Mavericks in playoffs, Josh and Howard just slammed dunk again and again...
