Josh Smith

Played huge tonight and he is the key in this series because he is a proble for them to match up with. JJ and pierce cancel each other out.

Yep Josh was awesome tonight with his effort and his clutch baskets. Hinrich also with some HUGE 3's to bail us out and stop runs.

Kudos to Josh. If he keeps leading the Hawks to success in the post-season, he will get his All-Star appearance and some of the positive press you know he wants (and deserves).

[Alex]

If he shows up like he should...which is every night we are a good team. I honestly feel these are the type of performances we should all expect from here on out.

Just made the whole celtics team his b****!!!

PP is 35. Cancelling him out isn't going to get it done this series. He needs to outplay Paul.Josh was good on the boards, but mostly played mediocre on the offensive end taking alot of jumpers.

Josh was 7-12 at the end of the first half....1-8 after that. Consistency is what we need. We need JJ to score and Josh to be consistent. That said, beast on the boards.

He played great tonight...just wish would stop the jumpers...take it inside for high percentage shot and force KG to foul you

He had a good game and there is still room for improvement. Its nice to watch him progress and start out these playoffs with a solid game.

I am with you here man. It is our poor shooting that kills us in the playoffs. Josh and 18 boards is a awesome performance and little man Teague along with Hinrichs threes made up for some of the poor shooting tonight.If Teague averages 15ppg we win this series and can only hope JJ and Smith settle down and start shooting at least to their season averages as we move deeper into the playoffs.

I am more impressed with Josh's rebounds more that anything. It shows that he is active and engaged in the game which is a good thing all around.
