people need to stop getting hung up on who starts, there's tons of lineups used throughout a game.


that being said, I have noticed how slow smith looks, it's especially noticeable in the open court.


Well, he's on the wrong side of 29 now, the guy's been in the league for so long. We're going to slowly but surely see a Gerald Wallace like regression in the next few years.

A 4 year contract...what was Dumars thinking.

Great thread, i was actually thinking this when i was watching the pistons the other day. Amazingly the bulk seems to have made josh a better defender, but worst shot blocker. He doesn't get up as high as he used to and his explosion looks diminished. The problem is smith is just a sh* shooter regardless of weight

If Josh Smith had a brain, we probably be a lock for the playoffs. He has all the physical tools and the skill set and yet he chooses not to use them. I don't understand why.

A 6'10" Scottie Pippen without...a lot!
