was Joe sick

[arhawkfan]

I saw in another post that Joe was sick last night. Is that right?

Even if he was, who cares? Half the people on this forum overreact when Joe has a bad game. If you have EVER played basketball if your life, you know you dont have a good game every night. Joe will be fine.

"That was really big, the way we took up the slack for Johnson. He was under the weather. We wanted to pick him up," Smith said.

Johnson, averaging 21.7 points per game, played 37 minutes. He shot 0 for 6 in the first half and finished 3 of 14 from the field, scoring 10 points to go with eight assists.

"He was fighting the flu. He wasn't feeling well. It was important we all came out and gave him support," Horford said.

Why didn't woody give Joe the night off? Good grief is Mike Woodsen that dependent on Joe to get a win?

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Yeah I know Woody lives and dies by Joe, but it is pretty sad that you let your star player go out there when he is "under the weather". Woodsen wil make like Joe wanted to play but he has the last say on whether to sit or play someone. Another reason Mike Woodsen needs to go.

And yet, had we'd lost to Golden St without JJ, the board would be lit up like a Christmas tree.

If JJ was ill, I agree that he probably should've rested him, especially with a game tonight. But a loss last night would've sparked the usual spiral of hate against Woody and the team.

Watch . . . if he DNPs tonight, people will be mad at the coach.

Lose -lose situation.
