Joe Choked

[gsuteke]

I don't like kicking our player when they're down but this one is obvious.

Joe looked uncomfortable at the FT line.

And he missed.

That was a hard fought game, I hate to see it end that way. Hopefully the Hawks won't let this loss linger.

Isn't Golden State up next? Joe may go for 40 in that game the way they play defense but he gets paid to hit those two free throws.

It happened and it sucked, but we may as well move on. Joe is probably sick to his stomach right now... hopefully it's a learning experience.

Well, I don't know if he looked uncomfortable. He was 7-7 for the night before taking that shot. It was just bad luck I guess.

I just have a feeling we'll go on a winning streak now. I expect Joe Johnson to make up for that free throw with his next performances.

It was a hard fought game. It was fun to watch. It's just unfortunate that they came away with more plays than we did.

I unfortunately have to agree. No excuse for missing that ft. I hate that we lost this way. So disappointed.

[tonegully]

everyone misses. i think we lost from our usual dreadful 1st quater we had, once again.

Yeah, he's definitely gotta be mad at himself. Plus, even though he's been a shaky FT shooter, I would've thought that Joe would pull out another clutch shot. Plus, against the Celtics? DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!

With that said...we've got GS on Friday. That's a good team to bounce back against, at least from an offensive standpoint.

But damn that hurts...of all people...

I just lost everything i had, thousands of dollars gone on that f***ing free free throw.

But it happens. Joe is beating himself up right now.

If only he could get me $8,210 back, I would be much f***ing HAPPIER.

Dude, no way?!

Wowwwwwww

Retarded thread. Everyone misses free throws and JJ missed 1 out of 8 tonight.

Bibby played just like he did in the playoffs last year, like crap. He made some retarded turnovers and got clowned on the other end.

You bet everything you have and didn't even take the points? LOL you deserve to lose then.

8,210 to win 13,005.

Not EVERYTHING I had, just everything I had spare to bet.

Legitimate thread. Joe missed that free throw. He gets paid to make it.

And to clarify I mean the one that either ties or loses the game.

You may not be aware of this but every point counts the same. JJ was 7/8 from the line tonight which is 87%. I'll take that every game and so would everyone who has sense.

I guess you forgot JJ's stepback jumper last game to put away the Bobcats and all the other clutch scoring he has done. He misses one free throw and he is a choker.

There were a bunch of chances in the last quarter. Marvin missed one, Za with the charge, Smoove with an air ball in close. And KG didn't miss.

[mrhonline]

I'm really frustrated by Marvin's FT shooting at bizarre intervals over the past few games. It's clearly mental.

Marv doesn't bend his legs on Ft's it seems, it's all upperbody.

You bet that much on the fukking Hawks straight up?? I won't question your loyalty just your common sense. Next time buy the extra point for +5 and bring home around 8 grand.

[Popeye]

I have to agree with Ex, this thread is pretty dumb. Joe is our best player and he usually never chokes. Kobe, Lebron, and others have done this more than Joe did. Please everyone calm down and don't hate on Joe.

[tonegully]

blame the 1st quater

[AmishBoy]

The reality is that Joe usually wins games on jumpshots. I can't even remember a game where Joe wins it at the freethrow line. We all know Joe doesn't attack the basket alot so he doesn't end up in these spots alot. Maybe that's his next level. Lebron, Arenas, and Kobe all used to be the butts of jokes in these situations, but they found themselves in it so much they got better. Joe needs to attack the basket at the end of games more, but really, if I'm other teams, I foul him now instead of letting him shoot a jumper.
