    Josh smith is the best off the bench guy we could ask for. He's iffy on offense but always brings it defensively and rebounding wise.

    It's a shame that the media will continue to make Josh Smith out to be a horrific basketball player when the reality is he's been near perfect in his role here.

    Yep he's up and down offensively bit he always brings it in defense and rebounding. Great bench player obviously our sixth man beside brewer. I think they should take Dorsey out of that starting lineup. Give smith a chance or jones with limited minutes.

    Near triple double off the bench? Oh hell yeah!

    If only he could hit free throws. What the heck has happened to him?

    we will benefit alot from Josh against the clippers, something we've been missing. i'm looking forward to matching up with Blake Griffing and a combo of Dmo and Smith should tire Griffin. ( hopefully )

    If he can keep his shooing percentage to 30 percent, I am a happy guy. To be honest, I like the type of threes he has been taking as of late. He is really stepping into them. (This is by no means an endorsement, but I think it is something we can live with)

    you mean his three point shooting which is at 33 percent(35 percent off the bench) now with the Rockets

    he looks like he has tried to improve the arc on his shot and he is taking most of them from the same position on the court

    Josh Smith signing has been BIG. Remember we cut Tarik Black for him.

    Yall, I am not so sure Smoove should get in the habit of taking 7 threes out of 11 shots total he takes. He is making them. So it's all good now.

    If he kept Black and waived Dorsey instead, it would have been a HUGE signing instead of BIG.

    Dorsey has been better but still not as good as Black.

    Josh has been our 2nd best player over the last 3 games. He is playing better with every game. I hope he can keep it up.

    Josh Smith's skillset (when he doesn't go in Kobe mode) makes him the perfect 6th man for a contending team.

    Move over chef curry, Smith is the new 3 point king of the NBA. All hail JSm33ve 3 long range killa.

    His passing is at the all pro level. Makes some amazing passes. Love his work around the basket.
