Smith can absolutely be one of the most frustrating players to watch in the NBA, but, at the same time, there are few players more fun to watch than Smith when he’s feeling it. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Smith has been feeling it so far in this series.

Smith scored seven points in the first half on Friday night.
