Josh Smith shaves his legs

Ok, this is weird. Josh Smith, aka J. Smoove, blocks shots and jumps passing lanes, apparently, due to his "smoove" legs... which he shaves. That fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second is what keeps Atlanta Hawks star Josh Smith from regular posterization.



I tend to run a few seconds to a few minutes late for meetings. Any recommendations, Mr. Smoove?

Magic-Hawks Preview

This series confuses me.

Orlando did exactly what was expected of them in sweeping Charlotte, despite not getting much scoring from Dwight Howard [Note: I do not believe that Howard played poorly - the man had 20 blocks in four games]. Atlanta struggled against an undermanned and less talented Bucks team, needing a full seven games to advance. Granted, the Bucks were better than the Bobcats. Regardless, based on first round results, Orlando should beat Atlanta easily.

But then I remember, as always, that the NBA Playoffs are all about the matchups. On paper, this is a very close series. Horford is big and athletic enough to handle Dwight's limited offensive game. Joe Johnson should be able to lock down Vince Carter. Josh Smith can take Rashard Lewis. Mike Bibby is old, but still effective. And Jamal Crawford is the well-deserved Sixth Man of the Year.

So we take into account all of the available information. Doing that, I'm going to have to say Orlando in 6.

[Predictions Recap: Lakers in 6, Spurs in 6, Cavaliers in 7 and Magic in 6.]
