    Smith should be coming off the bench until he learns the offense. This is getting stupid.

    Funny thing, I think Canaan should start. Think THAT would do more to shake up the offense then anything else. After a few wins, Smith becomes a byline.

    Why the hell should the rockets bend over backwards for a scrub like Josh Smith? He ain't no damn star, take a seat on the bench or on a bus outta town.

    DMO is drilling his shots. Look last night's game, he was the best player on the courst, rebounds, shots, no TO's, assists, he did what he could but he shot only 6 times and that's lowest number from most of the guys which is unaceptable. He plays good, but Bev and Ariza can't pass the white dude a ball.

    Give him 10-15 possesions in the post and then we will talk.

    Smith has been a cancer to this team so far and I so hate the fact that a buddy of Howard gets an instant starting job. Howard himself is making himself look like a joke, Yes he is still athletic, he can still dunk, but he is completely useless off the ball, he doesn't do screens, no movement, he just stands in the post and watches what Harden will do and if he will get the ball, that's a momentum killer right there, While DMO does at least 2 screens every possesion, tocuhes the ball, passes unless there are clear orders for him to post up. That's the difference energy and being passive.

    And if I know McHale for good, he shouldn't like Dwight, because Kevin didn't played for fun, he played to win and Dwight was no were near winning a team throphy ever.

    It's just sad to see McHale's and Morey's hands handcuffed, because there is nothing they can do at this point. Dwight gets millions and he won't give crap untill it's play-off time and when it's play-off time suddenly he is not good enough, because he played ****ty all season long and that lasted since he left Orlando and don't blame all on injuries, because he is a joke. He is a good played, but from what I can see at games, I can bet he is 3 times worse at training.

    Sorry, didn't posted for some time, though I let my emotions go on what I think about Dwight , Smith lately. Ariza and Bev. can't get their shot lately, but I'm pretty sure they will get back on track sooner rather than later. Even Smith has a good chance if he will concentrate on defense and on offense on dunks and pick n roll, but Dwight, Dwight has problems, injury or attitude, but he will never be the same like he was in Orlando, which is sad, because at that time he simply the best. At least improve ft's man. Shoot 500 a day and you will improve. both at shooting and mentally knowing that if you will get fouled you can make them. There's a difference when you know they can do hack a Dwight instead of knowing you can hit 4/6.

    Sorry again, but then again I never played games for fun myself, I played basketball for 4 years for my high school, I was the worst player, but I went to every practice with a smile and in the year i made myself being a six man
    for the team. I never was a great shooter, but I had toughness in me, I wanted to learn I wanted to be good, and I played 3 positions from sg to pf being 1.85 and we won the title 3 years out of 4. Now watching this clown, makes me wanna call Morey and tell him what I think about him.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the Rockets, they are my favorite team, I even like McHale(lol) and I do hope we turn this around one way or another. You just have to stay positive. Harden is best and let's beat MIA tonight ;)

    This. Cutting him would be idiotic. That is dropping depth for... What? If nothing else his defense has been great, use him right and he's an asset.

    Give him some time to work his way in and integrate into the system. At worst you have an excellent defensive PF off the bench, which should come in handy come playoff time.

    And frankly, Howard has looked like he doesn't give a **** after coming off the injury. I think that is a bigger problem than Smith's pitiful offense.
