    He reminds me of Pau Gasol When we play with Bulls last time. We just let them do whatever they want.

    Smith is soooooo selfish, does not work on defense either

    our defense is soooo bad when Ariza is not on the floor and how bad we have played defense as a team tonight i would have a hard time taking him off the floor also. If he sat an extra 6 min this half and we give up 60+ and down by 6 everybody would be thinking the sky is falling

    Plumlee might be the overall most athletic big in the NBA at this moment. Gasol is way more guard-able as he is a jump shooting rebounding and rarily dunks.

    The minutes thing is really starting to piss me off. Regardless of how bad Pap has been recently, he needs to be in the rotation solely to get Ariza and our bigs on the bench. Can't have dudes playing 38-40 minutes a night.

    Nobody really, and he's taking clear advantage. But he's a clever and fast player from what I'm seeing. He attempted a flop earlier, didn't get it called, but got back up fast enough to make a major contribution to the continued play. He's also avoided several blocks and/or fouls by using the reverse dunk, which I never see anybody do anymore. For that matter, he goes strong for the dunk when he gets close to basket. I think our bigs should study him a bit (not the flopping, though).

    Now that Ariza's shooting 4/5 I don't see him leaving the floor at all.

    I like Bev but I hope Morey tries to get another PG in here. Dwight looks frustrated when he works to get in a spot and the ball isn't there. Bev, Ariza, Terry and even Harden's inability to get Dwight the ball where he likes it in the post is making the Rocket fan base hate him and think he is garbage.

    Bev got Dwight the ball when he had 2 feet in the paint once. Since then Dwight was in he paint a few more times jumping up and down and no ball. After a while you stop fighting for positioning because that **** is kinda tough.

    Zaza Pachulia and John Henson would disagree.

    Harden is much better when he lets the offence come to him instead of forcing it

    Harden torching the Nets. Wish Howard would do the same thing but the w is really the only thing that matters.

    Dwight waits forever to make a move when he gets the ball
