We could actually have a chance to steal game 2

Yes, if he doesn't play then we have a shot to win

[DocWilkins]

I envision another mysterious DNP in Mr Smith's future...

LMAO

[DrReality]

We better run our arse off

[ATLscrubLove]

We have a better shot to win with our 2nd team out there, literally. Hope Smoove not only doesn't play game 2 but he is out for the remainder of the playoffs. Sorry not sorry.

[Nicholasp27]

I'll be happy if smith never plays another game for us

[yungsta]

Remember we are 4-0 when jbrick is out and horford plays and the teams we beat are

OKC

Brooklyn

Lakers

Pacers

But smo

Didn't we win 50 games without Horf? Sample size is way too small. I hope Smoove plays like a monster and squashes this nonsense. I know a few posters here hate the guy, but I hope he plays well because he plays on my favorite NBA team. I guess I have this whole 'fan' thing all wrong???

[Nicholasp27]

One game or 10 won't squash it because we have been dealing with it for a decade

The people who are against Smith see him as a liability, and not an asset.

Like you, I hope he has a monster game . . . and not turn into a scary monster that hurts his team. The fact is, we don't know which "monster" we're going to get from Josh.

Me personally, as a fan I support our guys that want to win as a team. Guys that play with the team. Josh comes off as selfish and about his own numbers. He's a loner with the same jersey as our other guys. It is a small sample size, yes but the difference in the way our team played without him this year was night and day. Smart decisions, constant ball movement and unselfish play. Our guards also seemed to play better when Josh was out. Now y'all should know im not a stat junky so I dont have any stats to support this but this is what I see with my own two eyes. No bias, just my opinion and thoughts

[DJlaysitup]

...Could we win game 2 ??

+++++++++++++++++++

Well with Zaza out for the season and Smoove questionable...I would say our chances are:

But hey - we get back home and who knows?

The numbers over the decade show us to be a 40% win percentage team with Smith out of the lineup.
