Josh Smith Calls Faried a Clown: "He fears me, he's scared of me."

Faried explained, “Josh Smith, we let him keep shooting. And he ended up with 25, but he still kept shooting. He shot them out of the game.”

In response, Smith fired back, “”The man’s a clown. Quote me on that, too.” Referencing their next matchup (February 6th), he then continued, “I’ll have some words for him when I’m busting his ass because I back up what I talk about. It’s going to be a pretty good matchup. He fears me; he’s scared of me so of course he’s going to talk about me in the paper. He isn’t going to do it in my face, though. He’s gotta hide behind a microphone or smartphone. I don’t mind.”

So yep, that just happened.

Two idiots firing back at each other. This is gonna be good.

Not sure what drove Faried to talk about Smith publicly (were they jawing at all during the game?) but everyone knows that Smith has some of the poorest shot selection in the league. Can't disagree with Faried's analysis/strategy.

[Genaro]

They're scared now.

I just don't get what was Faried supposed to say to his face?
It's a fair observation and he was probably asked. Faried shouldn't have said it like this, because Smith is a fellow pro, but I guess they don't like each other...
Josh Smith reacted like a child...

[Optimus Prime]

I don't get it...

What Faried said was correct. Josh Smith has horrible shot selection. And the Nuggets won.

[HomieWeMajor]

Faried looks like the type of guy who would be phucking fat white chicks bareback if he wasn't in the NBA.

Josh Smith will die from complications of diabetes at the age of 56. Too much southern food.

[Real14]

he do fear him, he fears his 3 point shot attempts

[Le Shaqtus]

To be fair, Faried is completely correct.

I would have said the exact same thing, everyone knows it.

Right? A more apt response from Smith would have been something along the lines of, "You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and he's right. It's amazing that I've been able to play this long with such poor shot selection. I watched some game tape of myself this morning. First time I've ever seen myself play, and it was awful to watch. I just wish someone would have said something sooner. Look for a lot of hard work and positive alterations to be made in the near future. Thanks, Kenneth."

I would take Faried over Smith in a heart beat. I was thinking the pistons might be a playoff team this year, but after the first two games im reminded they wont be as long 'jsmoove' is on this team.

I think it might be better to withhold too many conclusions until Greg Monroe returns (and eventually, Jodie Meeks). Van Gundy has already proven early that he's not afraid to sit big name guys if they're being outplayed (Jennings has not played a minute in the fourth quarter yet) so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the Greg-Josh-Andre trio.

im optimistic but smith, monroe, drummond will forever be a logjam. jodie meeks will definitely have a big impact on this team though
