shoot horrible shots all over the place down the stretch. Instead,
yell, cuss, toast, pound your chest, and name your pet crab Crawstation

Said Hawks forward Josh Smith,
"He hits that in practice all the time when we scrimmage against him.
It's unbelievable when he does it then and it was unbelievable today."
