Ugly game.. No help defense, no passes, Evan Turner taking dumb shots and being selfish. Rondo and the three point misses are killing us.

Rondo has made some really good plays.  We need him to score though.

I don't see anything in smart to suggest he will ever be a good offensive player?

A bit too early to make those sorts of declarations.
Its early.  But not too early to make a call in what I see.  The guys isn't explosive to the rim.  And he can't shoot.

I rather give a young player more than two games before I write off his NBA career.
I'm making an evaluation on talent, not two games.  There is a difference.

Smart only shot one 3? He did pretty well in game 1
I and say he can't shoot.  You disagree?

he's a rookie, and I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. I do believe his 3 will come...maybe not a GREAT 3 pt shooter, but eventually yes, I do believe he can improve it down the line.

a lot of the shot's we're taking are the same ones we cheer when they're making 'em. they were always bad shots, they just look worse when we're not hitting. it's something that shouldn't be encouraged.

Houston announcers are so stupid and don't sound funny. Marcus Keith Sweat? Good joke.. Haha and definitely some contact on the Smart block. These guys are like the biggest homers ever. An announcer said Harden us the hardest player to guard. I guess Kobe, Melo, and LBJ fell off the face of the earth.

Only way Marcus gets foul calls is when he gets kicked in the head.

I hope that's just a "rookie treatment" thing, because that IS a foul

Wow Howard is just scoring effortlessly.
