Josh Smith News

Atlantaa TMs Joe Johnson looks to pass around New Yorka TMs Chris Duhon and David Lee.

Wednesday against the Hawks , the Kings defense visually looked better than it did at any point in the 2008-09 season.

Josh Smith has yet to attempt a three-point shot this season. Not coincidentally, the career 46.9 eFG% shooter is shooting 57.3 eFG% through seven games.

The Atlanta Hawks seem to have found their rhythm and will wrap up a successful road trip tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Jamal Crawford scored 25 points, and Josh Smith had 22 points, nine rebounds, six blocked shots and seven assists in the Atlanta Hawks' 125-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Raja Bell scored 24 points and the Charlotte Bobcats looked nothing like the NBA's lowest scoring team in beating the road-weary Atlanta Hawks 103-83 on Friday night.

Notable: Portland power forward LaMarcus Aldridge suffered a bone bruise to his right knee in the Trail Blazers' win over Oklahoma City Sunday and is listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Hawks.

Jamal Crawford provided a spark off the bench, scoring 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting, as the Atlanta Hawks continued a four-game road trip with a 113-105 win over the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena.

6, 2008, the No. 1 prep running back recruit in the country said the primary reason for his choice was: "Hopefully, we'll pull in a national championship." He should have picked the Longhorns then.

Jamal Crawford scored 27 points off the bench and doled out seven assists to lead the Atlanta Hawks past the Portland Trail Blazers, 97-91, at the Rose Garden.

The Hawks' frustrations were fueled by their own mistakes against the Lakers Sunday night at Staples Center.

Having been here before, winning their first two games of the season for the second consecutive year, the Hawks are aware of how easy it is to become smitten with your own performance.

On Friday night at Philips Arena in Atlanta Georgia, Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith made NBA history.

Josh Smith scored 20 points and reached a blocked shots milestone, and the Atlanta Hawks held off Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards 100-89 on Friday night.

Ita TMs definitely disappointing to see this game end the way it did, especially because looking back through the game there is one thing that really changed it.

Through a little more than three quarters, Jim O'Brien got a lot out of Dahntay Jones and Earl Watson.

The expectations for Joe Johnson and Mike Woodson are far higher today than in 2005.

The Atlanta Hawks will win 55 games this season if... A This team only won 16 road games during the 2008-09 season.A The Hawks lost all five of their road playoff games.A They should be able to get to 50 wins by just playing better on the road.A What isA it going to take to go .500 on the road?A One qualitya 'toughness.A By toughness, I mean ...

Hawks forward Marvin Williams thought his mind was playing tricks on him when he glanced over to a corner of the team's practice facility Sunday and saw both Al Horford and Mike Bibby, wrapped up with wires and protective gauze, receiving medical treatment.

Hindsight is always 20-20. Or, in the case of the Atlanta Hawks, 19-10. Those are Chris Paul's career averages in scoring and assists.
