ClutchFans Game Thread: Bucks @ Rockets 1/22/2016

So this is the zone.

 

Smith is such an underrated passer. Him back, our ball movement has been way better. He just needs to shake off that bench rust and start to hit more shots.

 

Smith didn't score, but they were good shots, perhaps nerves and a little game rust. Ball movement has been awesome.

The team has a noticeable bounce in their step, at least for one game.

 

Josh Smith is a very good finisher, playmaker and rim protector. I'll trade his inefficiency and ill-advised 3's anyday over T Jones empty stats.

 

Smith is statistically awful but liking his impact.

The Bucks are a huge team. I knew this but didn't realize it. I wish we had Bev, MCW can't handle a full court press.

Watching this from the Bucks POV, announcers are pretty solid. Their interim coach lol he keeps making these weird are you serious faces to the refs. Looks like a typical tiny submissive white goober.

 

Josh Smith brings defense and ball movement.

It's so obvious...

 

Definitely good shots. He's just nervous and excited. He will be huge for us. He's the exact same player from last year.

 

like I said: On any other team that is a terrible game, but Smith is moving the ball playing defense and getting rebounds which makes that atrocious shooting a wash. It's so funny how his game just meshes with the rockets.

 

Smith has to miss before he can hit those 3s LOL.

Didn't McHale have him attempting 200 3s a day last year? He will have to get back into that routine.

But it seems the team has been energized by his return. They have that gritty look again. And we are not completely tied to Harden's performance anymore since Smith is a irrational confidence guy who can turn team's fortunes in the blink of an eye.

 

Josh Smith is back on Brick Squad.

 

probably some jet lag, too.

 

Wtf is going on with that halftime show??

 

Smith makes high energy plays. It's really important for momentum and confidence

 

So Smith is playing the role that Lawson should be playing? Playmaker so Harden can play catch and shoot

 

that's a good way of putting it :grin:

 

With Smoove back I'd say we're one trade away from being a complete team.

 

yep. Mchale was OK with Smith shooting as long as he was getting them up in practice. I bet you money he wasn't practicing in LA.

I just hope JB tells him to practice.

 

Where'd you hear that?

 

He looked as if he had sweaty palms on the bench befor the game started. Having no Capella or Howard in and relying on jones or smith for center allows teams to come back on us

 

He played so little time in Clippers. He will find his shooting.
