Did the Horford injury improve Smith's concentration?

As you all know, I've complained many times about Josh Smith's lack of concentration.
Sometimes, he jogs down the court ...
... or argues with the ref while the play is going on ...
... or moves as if he just doesn't care about the game ...
... or forgets the game situation.
But since Horford's injury, our Mr. Smith has been on fire. Maybe it's coincidence ... or maybe he realizes he - now - has to carry more of the load and that realization keeps him in the game. This (minus all the 42% jumpers) is what we've been looking for.
Does anyone want to present a different reason that he's now playing so well?
