So sorry, Louis Williams. So sorry.

Insider is a fun place. Teaches you a lot of stuff. Like this article, for example: it purports that Mike Bibby is balling, but Joe Johnson needs to step up a bit. Cool. You know the real X-Factor in this Heat/Hawks series? Josh Smith. His line in the last game: 13 points, 7 rim-cleaners, and 4 blocks. Not amazing, but important in a 10-point win in Miami. Speaking of Insider, and speaking of Josh Smith, may we direct your attention to this article by Molly Knight from an old issue of ESPN The Magazine? It's quite informative if you want to understand Smith and the block parties he puts on regularly. Things you should take away from this: (a) Insider = fun and (b) Josh Smith = "get that ish out of here."
