Pmeehan Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have been watching the Hawks this season, and loved how we used our whole bench at the beginning of the year ( more energy, especially on defense) and I honestly believe we are a better team without Joe Johnson on the floor. It is hard at this point of the season to really asess this while missing Al Horford, but they ball movement I have seen and the more up temp game style looks like it benefits our team more.For those who do not know what the Ewing theory is, I posted some links below: http://proxy.espn.go...tory?id=1193711 http://www.urbandict...0Ewing%20Theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You might be onto something. Who knows may apply to more than just Joe. How about Al - we haven't exactly collapsed since he went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWebb Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 We didn't play enough games without him to draw any conclusion. What about Memphis last year without Gay, Ny without Anthony, Chicago without Rose or Miami without Wade ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Doesn't fully qualify for the Ewing theory under it's exact stipulations considering that we haven't seen a full season without Joe but over the last few seasons the team has posted a winning record through games he's missed so that does increase the sample some by stating that it's not just a singular season fluke.

benhillboy Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Absolutely not. The first criteria is said player has to have "an inordinate amount of media coverage and fan support.". No one cares about Joe except Diesel. There is no "writing off" to do with a Joe-less Hawks team when teams in the East were leapfrogging us with Joe in tow. Comparing Patrick's impact (a H.O.Fer), present or absent, to Joe is pretty farfetched. Edited March 7, 2012 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to talk about someone so much and not develop love for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmeehan Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) <<br /> Absolutely not.;The first criteria is said player has to have "an inordinate amount of media coverage and fan support.".

I knew the Hawks situation did not fit with the Ewing Theory exactly, but the fact that the Hawks have been playing well lately without Joe, and earlier once Al went down, it just got me thinking....</p> Edited March 8, 2012 by Pmeehan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy9 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The example I always think of is Dominque Wilkins leaving UGA a year early for the NBA. Next year the four remaining non-superstars but excellent teamwork guys, get to the final four for the first and only time in UGA history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
