    "Turns, stutter steps, stutter steps, leans, fakes, shuffles it up JJ for 2!!"

    Wish Gene Peterson was still calling the playoffs for us :)

    JJ is going to be magic for us. I called it when we signed him, and I'm calling it now.

    He will be amazing for us in the playoffs.

    Believe.

    I can't even entertain the thought.

    Be great if he stepped up in the clutch.

    Joe post-ups would be like "backin it in, backin it in, backin it in, backin it in..."

    I believe that mbah a mute’s injury happened for a reason and that Joe Johnson is gonna show up as #playoffjoe. He’s been super clutch in the playoffs. He is not necessarily, at least in this part of his career, a regular season guy. He really shows up in the playoffs... the big games and big shots. You can see that when he was in Denver. When our offense stagnates when they start doubling harden and goes blinders, joe is gonna step up big and take over. He’s in essence our 3rd Allstar with his scoring capability. That’s why we got him in the first place. Just like josh smith showed up in that series.

    I believe our dark horse will be Zhou Qi. It’s clear teams like okc and Portland who have agile bigs give us a lot of trouble and defenses with bigs have learned to adjust to small ball. Capela is amazing and he will not be able to sustain the banging on the inside in playoff style ball. With Luc our, they will get a lot of penetration in the paint. If we have an agile Great Wall 2.0 in there, anywhere within 15 feet of the basket can be covered. With his length even easy rebounds can be jump balls essentially. It will Be harder for teams to go over the top with him around and our wing defenders can guard that 3point Line and/or funnel them to Zhou. That’s all

    I have a feeling he's going to be clutch.

    Man, you had me until you started talking Zhou Qi. ZHOU QI! Come on, man. This is a reach beyond reach! Almost completely nullifies a good argument for Joe.

    Yep. People forget this guy has playoff experience and shows up big in big games. Luc's injury might give JJ a boost
