Hawks coach Mike Woodson and forward Josh Smith addressed their relationship on Friday, insisting that their feud is nothing personal.

"I want to set the record straight about this one last time," Woodson said. "This is not now, and has never been, about me hating Josh or Josh hating me. It's not a personal thing. We get along just fine."

Two weeks ago they had a shouting match in the locker room at halftime, which led Woodson to bench Smith for the entire second half.

"People try to blow it out of proportion," Smith said. "But if you're not on the inside looking at it, you can only guess what kind of relationship you think we have. Players and coaches might disagree a lot and have their differences. At the end of the day, though, we still treat this as a work environment.

"We don't come in here and turn our noses up at each other. We joke and have fun now like we always have in the past. This isn't about two people hating each other. It's not a personal thing like that. We just agree to disagree on some things."
