Smith not shaken by All-Star snub during win
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.

Will Josh Smith finally make All-Star breakthrough?
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...

Smith leads Hawks past Magic in OT
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...

Josh Smith Says ‘Politics’ Keeping Him Out of All-Star Game
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...

Atlanta Hawks: Erick Dampier signed; Josh Smith snubbed?
Here is my AJC story on the Hawks signing Erick Dampier to a 10-day contract. Here is my other AJC story on Joe Johnson making the All-Star team and Josh Smith being left off.
AJC wise guy weighed in on the Smoove Snub. Now I will take a stab at figuring out if ‘Damp’ can help the Hawks.
Dampier is a big dude. Maybe he’s too big. He was last listed at 265 but, based...

Josh Smith Has A Retro Hawks Tattoo
Josh Smith has had an up-and-down relationship with the Hawks, but he’s always made one thing clear: he loves Atlanta, his native city. Since a rookie he’s sported an outline of Georgia along with the letters “ATL” on his left bicep, and sometime between spring 2009 and fall 2010 he added the old “Pacman” logo that represented the Hawks during...

Revenge on fans' mind as Hawks come to town
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...

Hawks Insider: Hawks keep winning without Horford

Atlanta Hawks: Slimmer Josh Smith back in his ’sanctuary’
First, let me say I don’t think attendance at the first day of voluntary workouts should be any kind of litmus test for the Hawks’ leadership. It would be different if coaches were allowed to run workouts but, since they are not, what’s the difference between guys lifting weights and playing ball at Philips or doing those same things somewhere else?
With that being said, ...

Smith, Hawks stepping up since Horford injury
When Al Horford went down for the season with his shoulder injury, you really wondered if the Hawks were prepared for what was ahead. Before the first game without Horford, a dazed team spouted the usual "we have to step up" maxims. And then there was Josh Smith, who initially seemed deluded, saying he didn't think his responsibilities would increase at all ("I...
