    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BIG SHOT JOSH? What's gotten into Hawks forward Josh Smith? Friday night he stroked a season-high four 3-pointers in a loss to Utah. But his biggest shot from deep came late in the game Sunday.

    With the Hawks trailing 105-100 and 70 seconds to play, he nailed a 3-pointer that sparked the comeback win. And that was after missing from nearly the same spot a possession earlier.

    "I probably wouldn't have taken that shot two months ago," Smith said after sticking the Magic for 15 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks. "Coach [Woodson] has put confidence in me, and [assistant coach David] Fizdale has been telling me that if I make a mistake to just move on and try to make another great play. They didn't run at me, so I took the three and made it."</div>

    It's nice to see that he's developing that shot. He's been money from three lately, and if he can work that into his game consistently, he's gonna be dangerous on offense.

    Now we just need all the players to stop going to the same spots on the floor every possession. It's like watching 5 of the same player out there!

    Hopefully if he adds a good outside shot to his repetiore he'll be a big offensive threat, and when he learns theres more to the game then dunking and learns to have the 'it' that few young players have, he will be a superstar. I think he'll get there, in 2 years from now he'll be one of the best players at his spot whether he be turned into a full-time PF/4 or stay a SF/3 playing out of position.
