From Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

L. Drew on J. Smith: "He doesn't have a limp which is a good sign. We are prepared to move fwd if we don't have him but hope we do."

J. Smith on knee: "It's getting better and better each and every day. I will see how it feels at shootaround [Fri.]." #Hawks

J. Smith: "I have a high threshold for pain. If I feel like I can go a little bit I'm going to step out on the floor." #Hawks

.@zaza27 says he has bone chip in foot. Timetable for 4/13 injury was 4-6 wks. He's out for GM 4 & 5 and likely 6 (if necess.).

Beating the Hawks gets a little more simple when their top three big men, including Al Horford, are banged up.
