  2. KhadijaJ Khadija Says:

    Hey Josh — I hope you all have a good game, tonight. Shut the Knicks down! LOL. And BTW, did you see my videos?

  3. RRP RRP Says:

    Good Luck Tonight Josh! Get another triple double lol

  4. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    Hi smoove
    Hope all is well.You are doing some pretty well jump shooting on this game vs the knicks so far. Hopefully you guys can get this win. What do you think about Joe and going to the Knicks thing. Omg I hope not I love you guys playing together. It just wouldnt be the same(tear). Anyways good luck! Thats a very cute picture by the way haha even though you looked like you didn’t really want to take it. Haha smile more I think your smile is sexy!

  5. Mel Says:

    i’m watching this game, and i am hurting lol, thats all imma say, buy ahh you and Horford doing yall thing, Marv got to attack more though he settle for the J too much…. and the Jeff got to just attack too, he thinking to much, just goooooooo

  6. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    Also forgot to mention you look so tired baby. Its nice you will be able to get a couple of days to rest.

  7. gus mccrackin Says:

    Smoove,
    Been impressed with your attitude all year, “short memory” is best, keep communicating, and playing defense staying positive will move mountains! Go Hawks!

  8. Tena'se Says:

    wats up josh…. i just wanna know about your comments towards the rumors going around sayin that your fellow teammate Joe Johnson will leave the hawks and go to the knicks. How do yoy feeo about this situation?

  9. Kay2918 Says:

    Josh, you played well tonight…but that was another tough loss. You guys attacked the basket in the 4th and locked it down defensively, but the last few minutes there were too many jump shots. You guys got away from what was so successful. They had no answer for you or Al inside.

  10. Keyondra Says:

    I’m mad at the outcome of this game. At least the knicks didn’t beat yall too badly. They were ahead by like ten points at one time but yall made a great comeback!!! So therefore, you all are still winners to me….☺GO HAWKS☺

  11. Andreas Makris Says:

    Josh,

    I am sad and unhappy. I cannot believe the knicks beat us again and won the series 3-1. really? why?how come? what happened?
    you had a great game and played well and tough. One more time you played like an ALL STAR and proving everyone wrong and shutting their mouths.

    The question im asking my self and my buddies here , ALL HAWKS FANS big time, is why cant our team be in a win streak 12 in a row ? or why cant we be at 2nd seed and also ahead of orlando? are they better ? are they more experienced ? are they more pro than us?

    i believe we gave this game away! i believe we can get 3rd ! i believe we can get orlando and the remaining games we can win! we can win teams like baucks away or nets away or chicago or toronto , even miami! miami wont even make the playoffs this year!

    KEEP up the good work , keep up the power and passion! and you kight want to pass that along to some other of our teammates! we could have score when it was 97-96 and 3 mins went by and no one scored til al harringhton fired a 2. anyway.

    HAWKS FAN from Greece, living in alabama, and almost there every home game!
    LETS GO HAWKS , and if you dont know NOW YOU KNOW!

  12. Anna Says:

    Whats up JSmoove?!
    Keep ya head up, you can’t win ‘em all. Keep up the hard work and get it done in the zone, you can only do you. I’ve only been to one game in Atlanta, but I’m hoping I can make it happen more often cause you dat ish! :)
    Loves,
    Anna

  13. crowderpeas27 Crowderpeas27 Says:

    Nice picture, close game you and Al had a huge night. Let’s get the next one! :) take care.

  14. Marvell Says:

    Hey tonight was disappointing but it was a 1 point loss on an away game. Plus we still have a pretty decent record this season! Better luck next time! Oh and nice photo :) but please smile next time though, you have a nice one!

  15. momo Says:

    Smile Josh, SMILE!!!!

    BTW, do you know where i can get your shoes in TOKYO??

  16. Chelsea Chelsea Says:

    Tough loss to the Knicks. Get the next one against the Wizards.
    We got to get a smile on that face Josh.

  17. Darrell Says:

    WOW. The Heat and the Knicks win the season series against the Hawks. The Heat might not even make the playoffs either. The division lead is getting further away. Yall lost a close game, but you can’t let a bad team hang around basket for basket. Goodness gracious.

  18. MCSaiHong SaiHong* Says:

    Don’t be sad. Josh, I think your smile is very cute. HAHa. I saw your smile in home games always. Josh, good luck. And I want to buy your shoes and AU jersey. And I want to buy the Commander LT, the red clour. Because you wore it.
    Ya…I love J-smooooooove. You are the best player!!!
    My English not good….=[

  19. Courtney Courtney Says:

    That was another tough loss last night. But great games from you and Al…the Knicks couldn’t handle you two. Well you guys have to regroup and focus on the next game and out this loss behind you. I’m glad you are getting some rest this week because you have been playing some heavy minutes lately. Keep your head up…

    Love the pic and I agree with everyone else that you need to smile more lol. Hope you guys enjoy the tour of the White House and hope you get to meet the President. Take some pics for us, please! :-)

  20. bolox bolox Says:

    I wish you had put that last dunk right into chandler’s face, but luck was not on your side yesterday night. Nevertheless, I can’t help but seeing you improve game after game, and that’s really impressive, especially the way your game has evolved for these last 5 years.
    When you joined the hawks, I had great hope in you (just like I did 20 years before, when Kemp joined the supersonics) : each season passing by, and especially this one, you’re transforming that hope into reality. Thanks a lot for that : when you don’t have wings, it’s a gift to see you flying high.

  21. TT TT Says:

    Tough loss last nite..but yal still doin yal thing…gotta get a win thursday nite against washington tho…keep ur head up and the intensity going..and nice pic by the way

  22. Melvin Says:

    Hey Josh,

    I read about you paying 6months of family expenses for the slain high school stundent on the AJC site. I just wanted to say that’s a very kind thing that you are doing and probably one of the best assist you could ever make on or off the court. Keep up the good work in the community and on the court. Nice to know that you care…

    Keep doing, what you are doing Big Fella.

  23. Shan Shan821 Says:

    That was a tough loss last night but we have to bounce back. I read about you helping the late young athlete’s family and I’m proud to be a fan of a player that gives back to the community like that. That really means a lot to the citizens of Atlanta. It really let’s us know that you didn’t forget where you came from. I know that yoiu guys are probably off today and getting some much needed rest but will be getting ready to get a W from the Pistons on Sat night. I just had to commend you for your good efforts. Thank you Josh.

  24. Shan Shan821 Says:

    BTW, nice pic. Stop looking so serious. I love to see your smile. ;)

  25. S. Fields Says:

    Sup Smoove,

    Last night was a rough way to go out. I hope you guys aren’t too down about it. The last two were definitely winnable so it would certainly be understandable though. Your numbers are still excellent! Keep doing your part & keep up the good work. Encourage your teamates. Hopefully, you guys will get your mojo back and start having fun out there again soon. 19+ opportunites remain…Let’s get at those! Keep your head up. Peace

  26. Vee Says:

    Tough, tough loss!

    Looking forward to seeing the bounceback this Thursday, though!

    Good luck to you and the rest of the team.

    Oh, and I just read the article on ajc.com about what you are giving back to the family of Rajaan Bennett. I know this isn’t done for a publicity stunt, but, I gotta say, it’s great to see you reaching out to them in their time of need.

  27. dstdeelite Says:

    Kudos on the donations to the grieving family of the slain student. May God continue to bless you and your family. Good job, Mr. Smith. Well done.

  28. Hawks_Love Says:

    lol, were you caught off guard when that pic was taken?
    Cute pic, but I would love to see your smile lol =]

    Anyways, you and Al both had a grat game last night, unfort. we just couldn’t get the win. You guys have a few days to rest and focus on the next game =] So take care, and be safe =]

    GO HAWKS!

  29. gus mccrackin Says:

    Re:Donations…..kid you got CLASS. I work for a company in atl that had a shooting at our work. Several people died, with that said. The outpouring of financial support usually stops after the story drops from the news. For you to remember the family, really shows me that you are not caught up in being a SuperStar. You have a great head on your shoulders, I will always be a fan. I really enjoy following your blog this year and watching you become one of the best players in the NBA. Thanks for the highlight reel! and thanks for giving me restored faith in our fellowman.

  30. donna Says:

    Hello mr. smith,
    my son is a big fan of yours. He plays on a 10-under team for Charles R Drew Charter school @ the YMCA, and their games have ended. I’m proud to say that their team went undefeated this year and i wanted to do something nice for them. I wanted to know if it was anyway possible we could come to me you and the team for a few words of encouragement. All the team members attend the Drew Charter school which is located in the East lake community. I would like for them meet a positive, professional athlete.
    thanks in advance and good luck with the remainder of your season.
    ps maybe they could give some pointers to you and the team on how to have and undefeated season. LOL

  31. Brandon Says:

    Smoove is the man

  32. RRP RRP Says:

    Josh it is really moving to hear that you are helping out Rajaan Bennett’s family. It is great to see that you do such amazing things both on and off the court.

  33. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    omg I just want to say im in love with you even more now! You are such a beautiful person. That is so sweet what you are doing for Rajaan Bennett’s family. That is really sad that had to happen. That shows there are still good people in this world. I am goning to marry you lol you just dont know it yet. Stay sweet!That is so big of you

  34. crowderpeas27 Crowderpeas27 Says:

    Josh I just read that you are helping the family of Rajaan Bennett. May God always bless you and keep you.

    :) TTYL and can’t wait for the next game.

  39. Smoove Says:

    @Khadija……thx and yes I saw your o lets do it remix, lmbo!!!!!

  40. Smoove Says:

    @Tena’se……First and foremost I have to understand that it’s a business and Joe has to do what’s best for him and his family. But I think the family atmosphere that we’ve created here and the chemistry over the year will eventually lead him the re-sign with the Hawks.

  41. Smoove Says:

    @Andreas…..Thx and I appreciate the support.

  42. Smoove Says:

    @cp27….Thx and we will get back on track in DC. You were one of the first and also one of the most consistent people on the blog. I just wanted to aknowledge that. TTYL, lol.

  46. Smoove Says:

  47. Smoove Says:

    @donna…….My schedule is kinda hectic right now getting ready to finish the season but let them know that I said congratulations.

  48. Smoove Says:

    @everybody…….I was not mad in the picture, we were outside of a restaurant and I was hungry. As for the Bennett family, you have to remember that I was born and raised right here so this in MY community and I will always be apart of it no matter what success I get. Well i’m bout to play with my family for a minute and eat some breakfast. Catch you good people later……Yall come back now, you hear(in my Jethrow Beverly Hillbillies voice)lololol………

  49. Smoove Says:

    @marvell……Thx

  50. Smoove Says:

    @momo…..I don’t know off hand but i’m digging your twitter backdrop, lol.

  51. bolox bolox Says:

    @Dayna… Being 42, I’m probably older than Shaney : should I be ashamed of that ? ;) As far as Shan’s picture is concerned, I personnally find it very nice : I sincerely hope you’ll be as attractive as she is when you reach her age ;)

  52. Shan Shan821 Says:

    @bolox thanks for the compliment and no, I’m not anywhere near that age. I don’t entertain childish and ignorant comments and neither should you. We’re both too mature for that crap.

    @Smoove I’m not trying to disrespect your blog…I hope the apology is accepted.

  53. Tangee Tangee Says:

    WOW! I been missing all the action. I’m back now. I was in the A this weekend and WHY did somebody say I looked like you? I almost got offended, but I had to remember what you looked like – LOL!!! I think it was the game face…

  54. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    all Im saying is nobody said anything to this women and she started calling people out of there names first. I have disrespected nobody and then you statred that mess. I here to support and be a fan of my team!

  55. Shan Shan821 Says:

    @Dayna I never called any names but they say that a hit dog will holla so I guess if the shoe fits then wear it. I don’t have time to entertain you or the nonsense. On that note, choose to have a great day!

  56. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    U didnt have to call a name all u you had to do was read the meassage. I find it really entertaining that you just so called apologized to this guy on his site but just that fast your still talking trash to other fans I mean what does that say about you lol if the shoe fit wear it.

  57. Tangee Tangee Says:

    @ Dayna & Shan821, Do you guys know each other??? Is this personal? Whatever it is let’s just let it go. Don’t forget Josh is going to be at Lenox @ Champs. I know we could all use some new shoes…. Check the dates on the blog.
    Peace ladys

  58. Hawksgirl Hawksgirl Says:

    @tangee..what date will he be at lenox again? And good to hear from ya smoove. I know the road is tough so cant wait til yal get home. Good to hear the short memory, cant dwell on every loss. But cant wait to watch yal play….tonight i think….go hawks!

  59. crowderpeas27 Crowderpeas27 Says:

    Good to hear from you Josh and thanks for the acknowledgement. :) I really do enjoy your game and the Hawks are my favorite team. Keep doing what you guys do and no matter what I am going to support in the best way I can. I am from Atlanta as well and it is always good to give back.

    I told you long time ago that God has something special for you. The Allstar game might not have worked out but just keep playing the way you are playing and doing what God called you to do and Trust me you will reap your reward! May God bless and keep you Josh! TTYL sweetpea :)

  60. Candy Says:

    This is my 1st time on the site. It’s good to see that you actually post on the site yourself and give your fans what they want on and off the court. Tough loss, but you guys always coming back fighting. I’ll be watching and I can’t wait to catch another game at the Highlight Factory!!!

  61. atlhawks_fan Says:

    D Howard did another (All Day I Dream About Sports)…adidas commercial and said ”i’ll be waiting for Josh when he comes for me now” have you seen it?! get him in real life on march 24:)

  62. k-ster Says:

    Travel safe to DC!!! And have fun at the White House!! Let us know how it goes and see if you can sneak in a picture too!

    Good luck to all of you against Washington! I know you guys’ll right the ship and I can’t wait to watch you guys in action!

  63. Jessica Says:

    yo Josh, you know how your hellping the Bennet family? Does that mean
    your still playing? Josh tell the team that WE CAN BEAT WASHINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I’ll be @ the hawks game on March 24 and March 31
    P.S. and maybe April 14

  64. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    Hi Josh
    good luck tonight and Kudos to everything you have been doing on and off the court. @CrowderPeas27 from just being on this site for like a week I want to just say you are such a beautiful person. just seeing your comments and your realness about the atlanta hawks and josh is just bananas. I must say you are like my favorite other fan on this site i swear some of the same things you say about them improving and what not are like everything im thinking you couldnt word them any better! Keep it up!

  65. Tangee Tangee Says:

    @Hawksgirl & Everybody else- March 29,2010 at 3pm, Champs Sports in Lenox…

  66. hour_glass87 Dayna Says:

    @ tangee haha you are so funny! your cousin just needs to hire you to like be his event coordinator! You should tell him haha

  67. crowderpeas27 Crowderpeas27 Says:

    @Dayna Thanks so much :) that was sweet! It is easy to throw stones and be negative but that isn’t what God wants us to do. I have my ways and my issues and no one is perfect (God knows I am not) but I wish Josh and the Hawks well from the heart! I honestly just got into the game so I learning as well. We all need to love on each other and support each other a little more. I don’t want to be disrespectful to Josh, especially on his site and if I feel I need to tell him something I am woman enough to say it in a respectful way. We might not always agree but we can all love each other more than what we are doing. I am going through so much in my life right now and trust me when I tell you, it is the Little things that often mean so much. So thanks and let’s support our Hawks and each other. :) Take care lady :)

  68. Courtney Courtney Says:

    I love how you are helping the Bennett family. Just wanted to commend you on everything that you do in the community. I know that you are involved in other things that don’t get recognized in the media. Keep up the good work on and off the court Josh!

    Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment. Good luck against the Wizards tonight! Do your thing and keep proving the critics wrong! BTW, I love the new point forward role from you this season. You guys are another step closer to a 50 win season. Take care and be safe!

  69. KhadijaJ Khadija Says:

    Josh, you are a big-hearted person for helping that family. Yeah, I read the article about Rajaan. It was sad, but it takes a real man to do what you’re doing and I, along with other fans, appreciate that greatly. Keep up the good work.

    I’d also like to say that I’m happy you were amused by videos. LOL. I knew you would ’cause you seem like a person with a good sense of humor. Oh, and I can wait to see y’all defeat the Wizards. Yeah, I said DEFEAT; because I know the Hawks are capable of beating any team, let alone this one. Peace and love.

  70. Candy Says:

    Josh, it’s very heart-warming and beyond considerate of you to help out the Bennett family during what has to be one of the most difficult times of their lives. After hearing and reading only bits and pieces of their story, my heart was left heavy with sadness for this family. You should know that your acts of kindness goes a long way, Josh and I’m certain you are making a huge impact on this family. We all hear about heart-touching stories that are life changing for others almost everyday. Those of us who would like to help, but can’t are thankful for those of you who can help and do so. I feel a sense of honor that my “MOST FAVORITE” basketball player is stepping up in the community and giving back!! Kudos to you, Josh!!!
    Speaking of basketball…. I can’t wait to watch you guys put it down tonight!!!

    Smoove for the Osca ! ;)

  74. bolox bolox Says:

    oopps, for the Oscar for best actor ! ;)

  75. Brandon Says:

    That’s what I do bolox, that’s what I do

  76. JP Says:

    Smoove,
    I find it somewhat disheartening and disappointing when fans groan when you pull up for a jumper. I can tell that you’ve put a lot of work into it. And I agree that it needs to become part of your overall game in order for you to become a complete player. I think you should keep shooting it (in rhythm like Nique says) and it’ll start to drop. Then watch out NBA! Keep putting the work in and remember us real fans pay attention and appreciate all you do.
    JP

  77. Hawksgirl Hawksgirl Says:

    @tangee..thanks. Gonna be there most definently

  78. crowderpeas27 Crowderpeas27 Says:

    Great team win Josh!

  79. KhadijaJ Khadija Says:

    See, I knew the Hawks would pull out a win. The bench definitely stepped up this game. Even though you didn’t have a high-scoring game, Josh, you still contributed in other ways; I definitely liked your hustle on the defensive end. Oh and btw, I might be going to two of the Hawks’ games, instead of just one, this season. I’ll keep you updated because you just might be seeing my face. Peace and love. [=

  80. momo Says:

  81. Kay2918 Says:

    Josh, congrats on the win last night. Hopefully you guys can push it to 50 wins this season. Good luck Saturday!

  82. Shan Shan821 Says:

    Great win last night. Let’s get it with the Pistons tomorrow. See you there!

  83. Candy Says:

    Josh, congrats on the win last night! I can’t wait to see you guys beat up on the Pistons tomorrow!! I’m hoping to see you bring out your emotions this game….I just love it when you dunk or block a shot and get crunk with your lil’ screaming afterwards…LOL!

  84. Chelsea Chelsea Says:

    Nice win yesterday. Good luck against the Pistons.

  85. Courtney Courtney Says:

    Good win last night against the Wizards. I’m glad you guys are back at home for tomorrow’s game. See you at the Highlight Factory as usual. Good luck against the Pistons!

    And what team are you pulling for this year in college basketball? Last year you were rolling with Pitt. Is it the same this time?

  86. Hawksgirl Hawksgirl Says:

    good win last night. Time to start a winning streak and get ready for the playoffs
