J-Smoove heating up for the Rockets...

Dwight and Howard have connected for 4 alley oops in the last 50 seconds lol...
Hopefully, he'll work out for the Rockets. Atlanta didn't want to pay to keep him, and Detroit got burned lol
 
yeah, he didn't want to be in Atlanta anymore...

...and then when he got dealt to the Pistons, well, when you're dealt to the Pistons life becomes a real **** hole all of a sudden...

now that he's sharing the floor with the best scorer in the league, he's turned a page knowing he's got a shot at being good for a few more years...

his defense inside with Dwight and Capella and Jones is a real good compliment...

Josh Smith finds stardom in Houston
Posted: 04/22/2015, 07:00pm | Marty Arneberg

Josh Smith stumbled into this season. The big man began this year of his career in Detroit, playing as the go-to-guy for a struggling team in less than stellar conference. Towards mid-season Detroit decided to rid themselves of Smith and send him to Houston.

Josh Smith has quietly been doing great work for the Houston Rockets and that skill level was on full display in the second game of the first round series against the Dallas Mavericks.

Smith put up 15 points, 9 assists, and eight rebounds in an all-around performance. Smith was a great pair with Dwight Howard as he dished the center four alley-oop dunks in the fourth quarter, as freep.com reports:

DALLAS (AP) — Rajon Rondo is out in Dallas.

Rick Carlisle made that clear when asked if he thought the free agent-to-be would wear a Mavericks uniform again. "No, I don't," the coach said.

The Mavericks announced Wednesday that Rondo injured his back before the last of several times the point guard was benched in four months under Carlisle — almost all of the second half of a 111-99 loss to Houston on Tuesday night that gave the Rockets a 2-0 lead in the first-round series.

Rondo was benched late in a close game not long after the five-player deal that sent guard Jameer Nelson, center Brandan Wright and forward Jae Crowder to Boston. In February, Rondo and Carlisle had a shouting match on the court that resulted in a one-game suspension.

In Game 2 against the Rockets, Rondo sat for all but the first 34 seconds in the second half. He was pulled after quickly picking up his third and fourth fouls guarding James Harden, and getting a technical after one of the calls.

While Carlisle could have hidden behind foul trouble as the reason for yet another ineffective game, the coach changed everything by leaving Rondo on the bench for good.
