    Role playing centers. A ball dominant center doesn't mix well for Harden

    It annoys the hell out of me that Detroit and Minnesota have gifted smith and brewer to the rockets.

    Dwight is moving like 2002-2003 Arvydas Sabonis.

    Smith with 21 pts .....on 21 shots.

    They got 34 points, 10 boards, and 3 assists out of Smith and Brewer off the bench. That's a shit ton of production that wasn't there a few weeks ago.

    If Smith is leading them in shot attempts, it's going to hurt them in the long run. I'm all for taking the ball out of Harden's hands.

    They're paying his salary and the Rockets got him for a minimum salary. That's a fucking gift if I've ever seen one.

    "From ESPN Stats & Info: ORL shot 57% with Kevin Love on the floor Friday, including 70% in paint. With Love on bench? 35% & 33% in paint."

    Bah.... the Trojan horse is a myth. I thought I read that they can't actually find any historical evidence that proves it happened.

    The metaphor is all that matters; veracity has nothing to do with it.

    So Jesus needed someone to give him wine for free? That explains that.

    It was there. Just coming from different sources. It's not like they used to score 83 a game and now score 117 (in an OT game no less.)

    It just means they have more weapons. We didn't have LA tonight, but we got a ton of points from places that we don't usually get points.

    And we didn't have to hire a known volume shooter with bad shot selection to do it.
