    Smith played better off the bench when he didn't have to defer to other players. DMO is USED to deferring to others, Smith isn't...

    So this is about the 4th or 5th game in a row where the layup line is wide open. I'm assuming the coaching staff is aware that the defense which carried this team is currently total ass? We need to find that intensity again.

    On the bright side, we do have the luxury of benching J-Smoove, Dwight or DMO whenever any of them plays terribly.

    Obviously Smith isn't looking great. But I really think we ought to give him some time to catch up and adjust to playing with the Rockets before we make a judgment. This is barely his third game with the Rockets. And he actually made some huge plays in the first game.

    It was a low cost move, but I kind of have a problem with how the rockets treat "big name players." We tried to sign him during the dwight summer remember?

    these last two shots from dwight show him at his best and worst.

    shooting a contested running hook shot vs pick and roll dunk.
