    I've been saying this for a while, but you forgot to mention that they also need to clean house in the FO.

    Rockets have already benched Josh Smith. Will he sulk?

    You can bring all the stars and name brand players you want to Houston but they still play under McHale and he's not the sharpest pencil in the box from what I've seen

    Houston kicked our ass. Who cares whether or not it was without Aldridge. Until we beat them in this current configuration, we can't talk smack.

    They beat us without Josh Smith. We really match up poorly with them. And it's just going to get worse.

    Detroit should never have signed him to be an SF.
    Houston should not make him a starter.

    Both teams have been using him incorrectly. If Houston makes him a backup PF, he and the Rockets will be fine. However, my son said that he was guaranteed a starting job if he signed with Houston. If true, that would be disasterous.

    Aldridge owns Houston. We would've been swept last year without him. Until they beat us with OUR current configuration, we can talk smack. Houston sucks.

    Wow. Pistons now 5-0 without Josh Smith. This isn't trash talk. It's the truth.

    Pistons with Josh Smith: 5-23
    Pistons without Josh Smith: 5-0

    That's incredible. Glad he's on the Rockets now.

    Not to mention we didn't have Lopez. And they didn't have Smith. Rockets are much worse team with Smith.

    Of course you can talk smack, especially after an ass kicking. It was without Lopez and Aldridge as well, so that's two starters down and Houston will not beat us next time. McHale sucks, Howard is overrated. What we need is a lot more Houston smack talking around here.

    I'll trade them that 1 game for the 7 game series.

    Fair trade?

    mmmmmkaaay.

    Exactly. Besides, all season is for is to get a great overall record. "Statement games" mean nothing. They beat us 3-1 in regular season last year. They beat Spurs 4-0 too. All that added up to was a first round exit.

    Morey is a dumbshit, who thinks real life basketball is the same as fantasy basketball. "Getting a star just to get a star". He can take his computer and shove it up his ass

    How much money did they actually spend to take a chance on him? Wasn't it pennies on the dollar?
