<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Smith Hurting Hawks?</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Nov 12</span> - The Atlanta Hawks appear to be a team on the rise, but I fear there is one issue -- one player, actually -- who could torpedo their ascent. Josh Smith. He may be one of their most talented young athletes, but he's also showing signs of being the most immature, as well.</p> </p> During the Hawks game against the Pistons, he was yelling at teammate Tyronn Lue because he wasn't passing him the ball enough. He yelled at coach Mike Woodson to get Lue out of the game and had to be restrained by coaches and teammates.</p> </p> When he did get the ball, he often broke plays to get off his own shot. Then, after playing terribly most of the game, he was given a gift of three free throws (on a debatable call against Rasheed Wallace ). After he made the free throws, which only tied the game, he gave the Pistons' bench the stink-eye, as if he did something heroic. -- <font color="#000000">Detroit News</font></p></div></div>
He needs to calm down. Opening the season he tries to do too much, he's a very valuable player if he would just relax a little.</p>
