Analysis:

With a 17-for-47 (36.2 FG%) mark from the field through the first three games of the series, Smith is probably shooting far too much and not efficiently enough for the Rockets' liking, but Terrence Jones isn't showing enough off the bench for coach Kevin McHale to justify making a change. Smith is at least compensating for his brick-laying ways by contributing in other categories, as he's posted averages of 5.3 boards, 3.7 assists, and 1.0 blocks during the series.
