Joe Johnson needs to stop all these post game put downs. If he feels a certain way about the players he needs to go ahead and get it out and say it to the players instead of trying to talk through the media. Joe used to be my favorite Hawk, but his attitude and play since last years playoffs has really put a damper on my feelings towards him. He talks about people being selfish and needs to “learn their roles” on the team, well Joe considers himself an “ELITE” player he needs to act like one. Lebron, Kobe, and Wade are true leaders. They let their teammates know what the feel and they also aren’t lost on the court when the other team seems to be going on a run. Joe should demand the ball and be a star and stop runs. He also needs to pass out of these double teams that they throw at him instead of always trying to dribble out of them. He talks about the team being selfish, but he only had one assist tonight…. I know he is talking about Josh Smith and I agree with Joe on that. Josh needs to stick to his role and stay near the paint. When he is taking deep jump shots and its ISO Josh that is a problem, but Joe needs to be a leader and let Josh know what his role is…. Basically, I think that if Joe has a problem with this team this early in the season he needs to go ahead and vent it out to the team instead of speaking to the media. I think he is just scared that Jamal Crawford is gonna take over his role on the team. If Joe continues this way then I say trade him, because you know he won’t come back next season, and lets see how much we can get for him.

They couldn’t continue to shoot as poorly as they had in the past five games. They got Flip back and Raja back. I am definitely not making excuses for them because this is the NBA. However, I can only imagine how grueling that trip was. Whoever made up that schedule is an idiot. How do you schedule 3 west coast games and then add an early east coast game within one day. It’s crazy. Not to mention we’ve always had trouble with Charlotte. They were definitely a step ahead of last night. Tonight’s matchup should be good. Both teams will be coming off of a loss.

This game should actually be good. both teams will look to prove something so im looking forward to a shooting fest between jj and carmello. this would be a good game for jj to go off. bibby too. bibby vs billups. im a big fan of billups but tonight i wanna see bibby compete or atleast attempt.

when I threw up my A’s during the “Hug It Out Cam” segment. Best hater moment of my life! :)
