He's a 7 time all-star. People need to understand that in basketball its the same as any sport or thing requiring FEEL/RHYTHM like golf, pass timing, catching, cutting off blocks while reading a play developing, etc. Joe Johnson is coming off injury and is older so he needs time to find his feel and rhythm which is why Coach D plays him minutes even when his shot is not efficient. The catch to it is that the "7 time all-star" is heady and wont make the dumb play. he will think the game faster than most which allows him to generate offence and defense in a variey of ways due to IQ until his rhythm resurfaces. great pick up. IQ is huge in the playoffs when defenses amp up and the game turns from transition to half court.....aka iso Joe
Really pumped Joe had a god game. He was punishing them down low. JJ had had 0asts 0rebs 0blks and 0stls. That's crazy, lol
We should add PJ Tucker into this thread because he made SOOOOO many BIG plays tonight. Glad to see all of these guys step up when we needed them. I guess everyone can now see MDA's method to getting Joe into playing shape prior to the play-offs. He schooled young Josh Jackson like the Soph he should be. Great team win.
Needed Joe Johnson and GG to step up to beat the Suns. Will need them to beat Warriors in the playoffs.
Joe was bullying them tonight but it was against a bunch of kids.sundays game in San Antonio will be a better indicator
Joe Johnson is not fully in game shape, he was injured at the beginning of the season. He looked rusty, stiff, slow laterally, When he first got here, adjusting to new teammates. He was sweating a lot during his last game, hands on knees the last game. He is moving better now defensively, His shot looks better. He needs more repetition, minutes, Cardio, Stamina. He is playing quicker.
