Props to ANTHONY JOHNSON!

I thought id start a thread giving props to AJ. For the past several games, Ive seen him breaking down the defense and finding the open player for an easy basket. He also does a decent job of guarding bigger PGs and has picked a few pockets here and there.

i know Acie's been having problems w/ injury, but i think AJ is the best PG on our team right now.

He's already proven more valuable than any 2nd rounder that was available when the Mavs selected.

I tried to tell people that the AJ trade was a good one (as was the Lue trade). It was the Claxton signing that was so awful.

Thank you!

I was going to make a very similar post.

I find it amazing that some folks would rather have Tyronn Lue than Athony Johnson.

Who would rather have/use T-Lue? I doubt you'd find many that would say that.

Without him we'd be well under .500 I think. He's a steadying influence at a position that's been complete chaos for way too long.

Law's young, injured, and the jury's out on whether or not he can handle PG at the NBA level.

Lue's a shooting guard in a PG body.

Salim's a mystery to me. Early in the season it looked like he was ready to play smart. After that we started seeing the old chucker come back much too often.

Speedy's a complete waste of time.

West - love him - in our offense a PG isn't asked to do much more than get the ball up the floor. West hopefully has earned a long term spot for all the intangibles he brings to the team.

I'd be delighted to see only AJ, Law, West & Salim on the roster next season. Ecstatic if we added someone like Calderon or Jack to that mix.

Ditto.

He is the unsung hero of the past 6 games. Quietly done what was needed of him. If he had not been there we would not be near 500.

What's funny is if Lue was healthy, Woody would play him over AJ. That guy doesn't know talent if it hits him in the head. He would also play Salim over West if Salim wasn't injured.

Doubt it, he didn't even mention Salim in the presser. He mentioned everybody even speedy

AJ has been great. His game has greatly improved since the start of the season and his leadership is sorely needed on this team. JJ is a leader on the court only. Lue is horrible defensively and Salim is a chucker who isn't reliable. Acie has been coming along and I still have hope he will be our #1 PG some day. He has the skills.

Right now, our best PG tandem is AJ and Acie. No doubt.
