... Jeff Schultz of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Mike Woodson can be a nice enough guy. He just hasn't been a particularly smart guy of late, in large part because of speculation on his job security. This isn't a subject that should come up during a playoff series, let alone a club's first playoffs in nine seasons.
