Josh proving his worth last night. Faking an injury after a bad turnover, then later on getting an ejection, lol. Clutchfans are calling for his head and the signing a 'failure.' Classic Josh Smith MO.

BTW Bogut owned Coward last night gahh...

I can't help but smile when Howard gets outplayed and his team gets hammered. Although my dislike for him is not remotely close to what it is for Harden, Terry and Beverley. And I actually neutral towards Josh Smith. Kinda liked the guy when he was in Atlanta. Hope he sux for the Rox tho.

Josh Smith is what he is and that isn't going to change. Sadly for the Rockets so is Dwight.

He's doing the same things he's doing here and the crowd over there is belly aching and echoing the same things we used to cry about Dwight here... focus on rebounds and defense, forget about the imaginary dreams that you're an offensive post juggernaut... focus on pick and roll to the basket, play like a Deandre Jordan, but nope he's doing the same things there we hated here. Getting the post touches bricking, turning it over, occasionally getting a bucket. Then dogging it the rest of game.

Harden's carrying that team no doubt with his FT magic. Beverly is useless. That squad is done 1st round of the playoffs if they get matched up against any of the real contenders.

Josh has proved his $2M worth. He is exceeding what you would expect to get from someone in that salary range, now that he has agreed to come off the bench.

As far as Howard goes, looks like he is breaking down from injuries. Not good.

It's not in JS's best interest (next contract) to be benched, win or lose. He was promised a starting role, implicitly. I don't see chemistry that good in the locker room.

Smith volunteered to come off the bench.

lol, he 'volunteered' going to the bench before the inevitable benching was going to happen. his starter mins and efficiency made Samaki Walker look like a hall of famer out there.
