    I became a fan. He did a lot of good things for the franchise and was a class act on his way out. Good luck, Josh.

    Not even mad .. our season went from being a disaster and talking about blowing the team up after the Clippers lose to making it to the WCF.

    Rockets seem to do a good job of pissing players off?

    Josh thrived because of the situation and I'm not so sure he could've taken it well, by it I mean competing with TJ & D-Mo for playing time and held more accountable. We basically did not have any options during the play-offs so you could deal with his dumb passes, TOs, early shot clock threes etc. I doubt McHale would've put up with that if he knew TJ & D-Mo were ready. I couldn't care less about him, he was all talk and a chucker. Got lucky in game 6 and gave us some good memories for a year, kind of like Artest.

    Throw in Jones and KJ for Josh Smith or Ryan Anderson

    Both would be major +'s. Smith would feel right at home

    He had it so good here. I would've never imagined he would leave us in my wildest imaginations considering he finally got to link up with his BFF Howard and how big of a role he played in the Playoffs. I'd welcome him back with open arms.

    There's good Josh and there's bad Josh and then there's "Game Changer" Josh. He's one of very few guys that can dominate for stretches during a game. His performance against the Mavs and Clippers in game 6 I'll never forget.

    Time to get over josh smith.... The guy blew his best opportunity here, I guess fans just have an attachment to him because of the game 6 perfomance, but to be honest he was a headache much of the time here... Let's not forget hack a smith.

    You guess? Dude single handedly put away the Mavs from making it a close series and led the most epic comeback in Rockets history in 20 years to force a game 7 while and help secure a trip to the WCF while our MVP candidate was on the bench.

    I can deal with Hack a Smith if it means a trip to the WCF to face the Warriors again. Smith is the only guy that can check players like Griff, Aldridge, Dirk, Zbo etc cause you know Jones is getting taken to the back of the woodshed.

    WOW, I didn't realize that Josh Smith saved us so many times in that game.

    I am sick tired of watching soft Jones and broken Dmo at PF.

    BRING BACK JOSH SMITH!!!!PLZ!!!

    The hack-a strategy is zero fun to watch, but his passing is a thing of beauty. I imagine this didn't work for the Clippers because Blake is such a good passer too.
