He played great off the bench for the Rockets. I'd still take him over Daye, Ayres, and Baynes.

I would take anyone over those bums man, thats not saying much.
This guy would be terrible for team chemistry and is a complete knucklehead has the basketball iq of a snail
Smith is 1-9 from three point land since joining the Rockets... For his entire career, he is under 28% from the three point line and has over 1200 attempts. Nothing defines his low BBIQ better than that. If he played for Popovich, you can bet the first instruction he'd get would be "No more threes." How he has been allowed to keep shooting them his entire career when he is clearly no good at it is a mystery. Come playoff time, teams will back off of him, daring him to shoot threes... and you know what? He'll shoot them. That's why you don't want him on your team in the playoffs.
All those things saying about josh smith were said in the past also about antoine walker and then he bring a le to the heat, him and brewer are great signs for the rockets, why r.c. was sleeping?
Walker brought a le to the Heat??? I could have sworn Wade had 34ppg in those finals...
Actually, the Spurs getting hosed against Dallas is what bought that le. Dallas got exactly what they deserved in those finals. As for the finals themselves, like SC said above, Wade had a little bit more to do with it than Walker.
I still remember some of those GOD awful calls in that series, Finleys tech rescinded later on and we lost in OT, so POP says we win a point then right? Big deal throwing salt on the wound later taking away a tech after a game we lost in OT. Tim Duncan fouling out by stepping on Dirks foot I remember too, do not get me started on that series man.
You mean when Dirk stepped on Duncan's foot... and yet Duncan still picked up the foul...
Oh yeah!!! We did not have Tim in OT after that one, great call there. Refs were horrible that series. Charles after the game said NBA refs suck on TNT. I remember well.
It was an uncoordinated drive by Dirk, and he stepped on Tim's foot and Tim fouled out in a game that he was dominating to that point. Manu also fouled out in the game before or after. Both were kicking ass in those games and both fouled out late in the 4th quarter of games in Dallas that went down to the wire.
Dallas got exactly what they deserved in those finals. Getting screwed over by the refs, just like we did earlier against them.
9-16 for 18 points and 3 steals in 21 minutes of action thus far against the Bulls on the road.
1-5 from 3 point line... why does he keep shooting them??
-19 for game. Worst +/- on team. He's not a winner, plain and simple.
Since being waived by Detroit, Smith is 2-14 on threes (low IQ, low IQ, low IQ), and Houston is 3-3.
Detroit is 5-0.
Quiet as kept Tim Duncan said that was the best series he every played! He had the bad foot and still made time to dominate his rivals and average around 34 PPG and shot a very high PCT. in that series! He was one of a kind that series on that hurt foot and just played better than I had seen him ever before, he dominated that series. I wish the Spurs won that series man, down 3-1 and come all the way back to win a game 7 they were down 20 plus in, all the cards against you and you pull that off? That would have been epic, it seemed destined as well for a few minutes and they were going to do it. I remember that whole series Ice, one of the ones I will never forget and for some reason it sticks out more than most series I have watched because of all the story lines.
Other than the Heat debacle, this was the other one that truly got away. Spurs easily steamroll the Heat that year in the 2006 Finals...
Oh yeah! No doubt they don't choke like Dallas did. Dallas was killing them and basically up 3-0 and on their way to the le but blew that game 3 and then the rest was history. Phoenix without Amare that year gets steamrolled by the Spurs again as well, that would have been an easy series tbh. Spurs would have won the le that year, that I am confident of. 2004 you can say Detroit might have edged them and 08 Boston might have gotten the Spurs (Probably TBH), but that 06 was the SPURS threepeat! Atleast repeat if they do not go on to win in 07, but that was their repeat and 06 is one that truly got away. The Spurs have 7 les and a threepeat if they win those two you mention, Duncan has more rings than Jordan does and let me stop there as it was that close. A shot here or there defined it, just one shot or two.
The one drawback for the Pistons in this might be the showcasing of Greg Monroe, leading to more offers this summer when he's a free agent. If the Pistons continue to win and Monroe can show he's not a defensive liability, it will drive up his asking price.
Monroe is unrestricted. He can sign with any team he wants, and that likely will NOT be Detroit. There is a really poor track record for players who accept their year 5 QO signing with their previous team. There's usually pretty bad blood from two years of failed extension/new contract negotiations.
