And let the Smith nut huggers continue to hug, man, we don't care what he does in Houston; we only care that he's no longer doing it here.

I don't care what he does in Houston either, but that was a class move by Smith man. Folks want to act like they know whats going on in the locker room and trash Smith, apparently it wasn't even negative like that if guys are still texting each other. On another note, I can't wait to see if the fair-weather fans will post here after we lose a couple of games this season.

And I'm no where near Smith nuts either, lol! :lol:

Who even cares what went on in the lockerroom when he was clearly an abortion on the court. He could've been the team chaplain for all I care. His pathetic play was destroying the team on the court.

I agree his play was surprisingly bad at times and it wasn't a good fit. But when you receive the highest check on the team you have to understand why he was trying force it at times. I'm about to lay-off the Smith conversation bro, I'm going to try to predict our new 3 before the trade deadline and focus on our current squad.

Happened against Dallas with Barrea. After DJ sank the first 3, Barrea whined about not getting a foul call as Monroe lobbed the ball in front of DJ for wide open 3. It was a beautiful thing to witness from the other side for once :D

You know what would have been a classier move? Listening to the coach and playing the right way which would have helped the team. He chose to do the opposite and harm the team which is the biggest dick move as an athlete you can make. That's why he gets trashed.

BTW, when you're heralding one little text of "Keep it going man" as some laudible class move by "your" guy, you're a nut hugger. Kinda like saying John Wayne Gacy made a class move by donating $5 to the Boys Club of America after committing 33 murders.

No I DON'T have to understand why he was forcing it. He would've earned his money more by NOT forcing it. I seriously don't understand what about Josh Smith's game can make somebody watch and become a fan. It's not even pleasing to the eyes. The excuses are hilarious though.

Great win. All game long you had more energy, always ready to push the ball and you managed to make timely baskets/plays to shut the Mavs down whenever they got close. SVG managed the game well, with his timeouts and plays out of them. Although there were really bad passages of play in this game from both teams, you still looked like the more heady one - Dallas had some inexplicable turnovers. These two games I watched were mighty impressive, roller-coaster at San Antonio and then leading all the way in Dallas. Crazy how Augustin went from a technical foul to hitting back to back 3s. Dallas has a slightly flattering record, there are some big issues almost every night(defensive rebounding) and if the energy is not there, they'll get crushed against some teams. The problem is worsened whenever on the other end when players are off like Rondo(horrible game), Ellis or Parsons who all struggled a bit. For Detroit, I'm intrigued about Singler, the guy seems like a liability if he doesn't have any confidence, but the winning streak is with him starting, so I guess he provides enough to overcome his struggles.

Wait, your real name wouldn't happen to be Max Scherzer would it? This "self kudos" sounds familiar. Lol

I have been trying to wrap my head around Singler for awhile. We lose badly with him on the court, we win huge, with him, also, on the court. He is an enigma to say the least. It's like his presence means nothing, like a tree falling in the woods, but he's always the tree, and always in the woods.

He must be a team guy, does whatever he's told, and on occasion hits a shot.

I would love having him be the 8th guy, but we are winning with him starting.

Hey, don't be giving Posters here the wrong idea. Manocad is talking about Vegas. I wanna go, but flights are like $500 plus. I am mulling it over. I was going to replace my lower ball joints on my car, but am thinking of just packing them with grease to see what happens.
