According to some, those 3's shouldn't exist..cause he shouldn't be shooting them. Isn't this ironic? And people thought me and JB were insane for defending him...

This is what i just posted too...

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH YOU ALL ALL YEAR LONG ABOUT SMOOVE AND HIS OUTSIDE SHOOTING!!! LET THE MAN DEVELOP HIS GAME!!!

THEIR IS A REASON WHY I CALL HE, CHILL AND AL "HUSTLE HAWKS!!!"

[thefloydian]

You're right, he's probably almost up to 25% by now!

I will give JS credit though. He came up big when they needed him. His shot is nice looking too. It'll be interesting to see what it's like next year.

Good game Hawks.

I must add this... I hope he does not become a Al Harrington. lol

I'd definitely take a Josh Smith three over a shot clock violation any day, that's for sure.

What a great win for the Hawks... this is definitely the most satisfying victory of the year...

Yeah, I don't think anyone disagrees with you.

[Cwell]

he may not be a great 3 pt. shooter but in the clutch he makes them a good amount of the time.

[exodus]

also. After all he made one at the end of the half.

I watched Eddy Curry hit a 3 to send a game into overtime but that doesn't mean he should be shooting 3s.

Smith took 5 jumpers in regulation and made 1. If he hadn't shot any jumpers in regulation we might not have needed overtime.

Smith's eFG% on his jumpers is 31% this year. And yes, that is horrible for a guy that sees 50% of his shots being jumpers. That's a horrible percentage on your jumper. A case can be made for him not shooting ANY SHOTS outside of 20 feet.

His jumper really hasn't improved since he's been in the league.

But Cwell, you're right when you say that he does have a tendency to shoot the outside shot better, when the game is on the line. He's won a game this year with a 3 he made when JJ passed him the ball. And in previous seasons, he's hit clutch 3's to win, tie, or keep us in games. Maybe his concentration level is higher during that tine.

One thing is for sure, he's not AFRAID to take that shot. He's not afraid of failure.
