    Don't understand why the Clippers did this. It is very possible they will face Houston in the first round of playoffs.

    Don't get me wrong, I like trade, but found this funny:

    hard to tell if Josh Smith is the worst good player or the best bad player in nba history

    My mind is blown. Clutch summed it up well on the Front Page. We should never have let him get away. Sure, Smith can be wildly erratic, but he helps solve a serious hole at the 4. Josh plays decent defense, rebounds, is an excellent passer for a big man, should hit around 60% of his FT's (weird that that sounds good to me, which says something about some of the guys on the team), moves well without the ball, and when he's on, when he's hitting his shots, look out. The guy can kill an opposing team. Still shocked that the Clippers would trade him back to the Rocks. How I hope Josh makes them pay for not playing him.

    Some things in this world man, they don't make sense. Some things you don't need until they leave you, then they're the things that you miss.

    I love Josh Smith!!! Glad he is back!! Now, if we can only get Smith and Brewer to be the high flying - fast breaking duo they were last year we will be right back in contention.

    Oh yeah, and James Harden playing some F'ing D.

    It may not be the big splash that people want to see, but I'm hoping he brings that fire and edge we are sorely lacking. I'm sure JS will have something to prove. Maybe he can be that glue that helps with the chemistry of this team. Why the hell not, right?

    No I mean DMo. Too bad he can't stay healthy and can't contribute to our team.

    You would think the following would be the deepest bench in the league and by talent standards, they are:

    P.G. - Ty Lawson
    S.G. - Marcus Thornton
    S.F. - Corey Brewer
    P.F. - Josh Smith
    ..C. - Clint Capela

    That bench ought to DESTROY opposing teams benches not to mention keeping up with some starting line-ups.

    This all boils down to coaching. There is no reason for that much talent to be unsuccessful.

    yeah let's not get carried away here

    Warriors, Spurs, Cavs, even OKC have benches that are better.

    Oh the guy that shoots 2 threes per game, that never played a playoff game, is best at post ups, but suppose to be our save the season stretch PF with Howard in the paint, who can't even run right now.... Ok anything I'm missing here about the situation ?
