Josh Smith had 23 points and 19 rebounds, and the Atlanta Hawks hit enough free throws late in overtime to slip past the Orlando Magic 89-87 Friday night. Joe Johnson scored four of his 14 points in the extra period and added five assists for the Hawks, who won their fourth straight regular-season meeting with the Magic dating to last season.

Josh Smith is upset he was not selected as an All-Star reserve and believes it's because he does not "know the right people" or suck up enough.

You have to wonder if Josh Smith's big game came just a little too late to sway the voters.
A 28-point, 12-rebound, 5-steal, 3-assist, 3-block night in any of the Hawks' three previous games, all of which came before the deadline for coaches to submit their All-Star reserves to the league office, might have helped his cause.
But that big game came the night before the reserves...

ORLANDO -- Josh Smith won't be coming back to All-Star Weekend in Orlando later this month he was snubbed again -- so he left his All-Star Game on the court Friday night.
Take that, Dwight Howard. Take that, Orlando Magic.
Howard may have been the best player in this game, but it was his old buddy Smith who played the best Friday, making sure the Atlanta Hawks maintained the...

There was something about playing Orlando last season that brought out the best in the Atlanta Hawks.
That trend apparently has trickled into a new year.
Using most of the same blueprint that allowed them to dominate the Magic in both the regular season and playoffs last season, the Hawks used their size and some timely free throw shooting late to grind out an 89-87 overtime victory...

The All-Star reserves were announced this past Thursday, and the seemingly more so than any other player, Josh Smith is considered to have been snubbed by the coaches who made the selections. Why was he left out? In his opinion, it’s because of the behind-the-scenes political stuff that he’s not involved in, reports the AJC: “Hawks forward Josh Smith looks at the...

Getting eliminated from the postseason sucks.
It sucks for the players. It sucks for the fans. It sucks period.
Especially the way Orlando bowed out last year. The Magic and Hawks were relatively even teams in that series (or maybe I am deluding myself). Atlanta made plays down the stretch in Games Three and Four to take control of the series. The final wound was watching a still...
