Even hit his free throws! I am by no means a Woody fan, but Woody has given Josh plenty (i.e., too much) free reign. Josh often plays and acts like a total numb nuts. (I attend almost every Hawks home game and watch most of the away on tv.) Good for Woody FINALLY trying to get Josh in order. Smoove should be benched a lot more than he is. Under lots of other coaches, Josh would be a Stromile Swift guy on the bench. I think he is quite the head case. And, as I have often posted, Josh is NOT a small forward–not for any NBA team! (Look folks, he is an inch shorter than Horford, weighs about the same, and is a much poorer open-court ball handler.) Woody actually has done a decent job this year, and frankly I wish J. Johnson were much less unselfish--he gives up way too many open looks to lesser-shooting teammates (e.g., Smoove). By the way, JJ is the Hawks’ leading assist man!

I couldnt even read 2 sentences of that rambling. Why would anyone take the time to write that much? I mean, the Dime guys dont write that much in a column and they get PAID! Anyways, I just wanted to update this J.Smith talk. Homeboy has 7 boards and 2 blks...In the first half. I guess he got fired up after being put in time out. Which proves my point to a tee- if he wanted to he could put up monster numbers everynight. And they are beating Detroit, so there you go. 1st off that book headkicker wrote was just rediculous.

Losing teams dont just become winners when they get a new coach. I've been a fan long enought to see the "Dynastic Cycle" in the NBA many times. (If you dont know what the Dynastic cycle is prepare to be schooled.) In ancient times in China a powerful clan would take power. The ruler of the clan would make changes that improved the quality of life and the people would love him. But over time his officials would become corrupt and lose interest in making road improvements or building dams or whatever and the people would say "Hmmm...is our ruler a good ruler after all?" Then there would be a major catastrophe like a flood or outbreak of disease and the people would say "The gods are angry at our leader and he is punishing us. Maybe the Chang clan would be better rulers." And the people would rise up, overthrow the old clan,embrace the new clan and its ruler, and the cycle would start all over again. Its like that in the NBA. Lets play six degrees of coaching starting in NY. Herb Williams is the coach, the people and players lose faith in him and want him removed for a "better" coach. Larry Brown is brought in. The fans are crazy about him until the team is absolutely awful and want him fired. Isaiah steps in and people are excited about the change. Eventually he is considered the worst coach in the history of the the Knicks and he is fired and D'Antonio is brought in and the people are ecstatic (myself included). But guess what? D'Antonio was fired from his last gig because people (and players) in Phoenix were unhappy with his lack of defense! Phoenix brings in a new coach who stresses defense and the team struggles. It turns out the players dont really like play defense - they like the old style of play better. Phoenix has already fired D'Antonio's replacement and brought in a new replacement. Further fun factoids: Don Nelson was replaced by Avery Johnson who wins coach of the year. Johnson faces Nelson in the playoffs and loses to Nelson in one of the greatest upsets of all time. The GS fans think Don Nelson is a genius. Two years later they want him to quit because he rests his healthy superstars to see how the 12th man plays. Even Further Fun Factoids: Consider Doc Rivers. Coach of the year in Orlando. Goes to Boston, struggles and fans want him fired, Ainge brings in great players and he wins a championship. I could go on and on but I think you get the main idea.

If Toronto(if they get him) or ATL lands a better than average coach that likes to run on offense, Smith's talents will be maximized. Toronto better figure out a way to acquire Josh Smith.
