There's such a thing as suck-it-up in sports. This sounds somewhat like an excuse by Smith. In my opinion, it's better to leave something like that out of your post game press conference.

Hawks forward Josh Smith had a rough Saturday night at the team hotel, struggling to get much sleep while battling an itchy allergic reaction to something he ate at the team hotel.
Sunday night wasn't much better, as he picked up two quick fouls and sat the entire second quarter of his first playoff game, the Hawks' humbling 104-81 loss to Boston at TD Banknorth Garden.
"I was too amped up and I knew it was going to happen," Smith said after scoring just six points, grabbing seven rebounds and blocking three shots in his 24 minutes of action. "Now that I have a game under my belt, I'll be able to come back under more control and play a better game. But I never could find my rhythm [Sunday].
"By the time I got back in the game they were all over us and it was tough to get going."

I was trying to figure out which part to bold but its so hard to decide. This is the kind of arrogance that kills you. Word to RealGM member Pats 19-0.
Oh & before you get mad & come in here & laugh at the Knicks, no joke you can make is better than the jokes we the fans make on our own board about our disaster of a franchise. Knicks suck.
I still think the Celtics win this series though.

To be fair, fan cockiness has absolutely zero to do with how the players on a team perform. Which is why bringing up the f'ing Pats to make fun of fans for a team's performance is pretty (Please Use More Appropriate Word).
However, I also think this thread is dumb. Making fun of a player for being confident? What's Smith supposed to tell: "Oh, we're gonna get waxed. It's gonna be a blowout, a bloodbath, a sweep. We might as well go home."

Any of you peanut gallery trolls that didnt post in this thread the first time around are just being jerks after the fact. I don't think it's any coincidence that most of you seem to root for teams that either didn't make the playoffs or got bounced promptly (what up T-d0t!!!11!!).
