Josh Smith has a head on his shoulders, and people denigrating his decision making need to shut their ****ing mouths and go back to watching Leave it to Beaver reruns.
He made a play!!! He must have the mental side of the game totally figured out!!! I'm cRaZy or better yet... 'playing to stereotypes' if I suggest otherwise. Yeah!!! Who cares if I've seen many games where he takes it upon himself to jack clanging jumper after clanging jumper? Who cares if he just disappears for long stretches? He made a play!!!! Me and my stereotypes. I just can't kick 'em. I'll go watch some 'Leave it to Beaver' reruns.

Edit: and who cares if I've seen him on occasion regularly subvert the offense for his own self-indulgent shot selection. I mean how important is shot selection, really?
