Love him or hate him--- We needed Lue in this game

[HAWKEYE]

Lue is arguably our 2nd best clutch shooter this season. What if he holds the ball too long, which seems to be the prevailing problem with those that don't like him. If he could have been ready for these last 2 games their outcomes possibly could have been different. Injuries do count and this game may scar this young team for awhile. We are about to see if they have any resilience or will they get that distant look in the 4th quarter with any lead.

I read he said he would not play with the pain. There is a fundamental difference from the true baller and one who will not suit-up with pain. Most have discomfort in a LOT of days.

I was disappointed to hear the team was shorted because Lue will not play with pain, knowing the team really needs his contribution.

Hawkeye, you up early. You must open. gotta catch your deal. See ya.

What good is a distributor like "Speedy Recovery" Claxton if we don't have another clutch shooter. He was distributing but no one was hitting. To go from 39 points in the 3rd quarter to 13 in the 4th quarter and give back 40 points to Utah. While the "bandwagon" proposed yesterday in a new post has turned into a "lynch mob" with everyone carrying lighted torches down Peachtree St. While you are looking for a new coach, a new GM, a new center etc... there does not seem to be another person on the roster even with the above changes that can help us when JJ's clutch game goes soft.

Where did you hear that. Steve Smith said that Lue wants to play with pain, but Woody won't allow it. Actually, in this case, I am sure Woody is right, because groin injuries need complete rest to fully recover. If he starts too early, his injuries will be recurring. So, Woody must have listened to the Physio. Now, if only the physio could coach...
