No other player in the nba played more minutes than Joe did so show him some respect because he was worn down. And secondly the statement that he doesn't show up in big games was obviously made by someone who has no idea what they're fucking talkin about. In game 7 against the Heat, Joe made 6 three pointers and scored 27 points. there is no doubt in my mind that joe johnson is a FRANCHISE player. man why does everyone keep bringing up the fuckin playoffs from last year when Joe only averaged 16.4 ppg and because of that they question him as a franchise player?!?

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:26:07 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=16504#comment-166370 @22 It would basically be restarting for him. Dude just spent the past 4 seasons playing in ATL. Where we improved greatly every year. If NO OTHER hawk left then why would he? Seriously any of the hawks that where FAs could have left and possibly got more money but they didn't. This team has a good bond man. This isn't any team chemistry wise. They've been together for years. Really if he went to Chi he'd be in basically the same sitaution with a team thats not as developed. Other then Derrick Rose theres not really anything that they would/do have that we don't. For the people that say don't compare Broy to JJ. Your stupid. I'm sorry but thats the best way I can put it. Like really theirs not much of a difference statistically and just watching them play you can tell their games are alike. Only difference is that JJ has to shoot more (but now that we have Jamal and Jeff I'm sure that will lessen.) Really JJ and Broy both take over games the same way. Theres not a different comparison for either of them that fits better. @22 It would basically be restarting for him. Dude just spent the past 4 seasons playing in ATL.

NO WAY JJ is that good. jj is a bit overrated imo he cant be the second best player on a champ team. sorry austin hes not in the roy group and you ignored the third best sg in the game.

You're probably one of those carpetbaggers in Atlanta who goes to the Atl/Boston game wearing a Boston jersey, the Atl/Detroit game wearing a Detroit jersey, etc., etc. Please stay home--the Hawks can live without your limited $ spent on the partial plan in the cheap upper-tier seats! Joe drives all the time and, in fact, sometimes too much in clutch situations, with 3 guys on him. Yes, he really sucked in the playoffs last year, and yes, he has hot and cold spells for spans of games during the season, but he is a deserved all-star--and lead the team in assists also! Please spare the true Hawks and hoops fans from your uninformed Yankee hater drivel. Joe will not lead a team to an NBA title, but paired with another solid all-star (not necessarily LeBron or Wade), he definitely could. Joe stays in Atlanta unless the cash-poor Hawks owners are too cheap to resign him (like the Phoenix owners were a few years ago), which unfortunately is a strong possibility. @ kevin k:

All comparisons need to stop. Comparing Joe Johnson to Brandon Roy is a complete joke. And I'm a resident of the city if Atlanta. Johnson is good enough to average 20 ppg and make an all-star team but he's not going to carry a team in the playoffs. Josh Smith is a complete headcase and his mercurial ass still averaged more than the "franchise player" in the playoffs. http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2009/08/05/whats-the-hawks-rush-to-re-sign-joe/?cxntfid=blogs_jeff_schultz_blog Joe Johnson average 16.4ppg in the ’09 playoffs (2nd on his team) while Brandon Roy averaged 26.7ppg, basically carrying his team against a very good Rockets team.

I am sorry but that's an insult to Roy. Go look at the team wins. Compare their stats. Roy has only been in the league 3 years while JJ plays softer than Dirk getting bitch slapped on the face by West. If you are 6-7, 240 lb and is suppose to be the team leader, quit jacking up 3s and fade aways on 3 guys and take the ball to the hole and get to the FT. People always criticize VC for being soft and taking too many jumpers. Watch and compare stats of VC and JJ and tell me who fits that description. @ K dizzle

I could see him ending up in houston next to a healthy yao and an even better aron brooks. roy is more explosive then joe johnson. and he has a better drive and a vert over 20 inches haha.
