Admin capstone21 Posted October 26, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 http://nba.fanhouse....awks-direction/ Looks like he is trying to be a more vocal leader this season. Very good to see. I am glad he is not afraid to call the team out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad he is not afraid to call the team out. He's done this a couple times in the past, as I recall, and both times the Hawks came out of the gate strong after his comments. But as always, we weren't able to sustain it. C'est la Hawks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Seem appropriate to say the obvious. As long as he includes himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksFan87 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 As long as he admits when he stinks it up in games, and becomes more of a vocal leader he can question all he wants.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I've said it before and I will say it again, I believe there is a 33% chance Joe comes back with us. He needed to call this team out, it's not THAT we lost, it is HOW we lost. Period. Everyone was garbage and Joe knows we can't play like that in the regular season. If this is Joe trying to be a more vocal leader, great...but it has been a long time coming. Edited October 26, 2009 by TheTruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is that leadership on the court when someone like Vince is going nutz ? How about he throw a hard foul or something .He was so laid back he shouldve just stayed on the team bus and snoozed . Where is Joe taking a charge, going hard for a block,or diving for a loose ball ? The young guys have followed his lead of laid backness and now hes shocked ? Say it aint so Joe ..

GameTime Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've said it before and I will say it again, I believe there is a 33% chance Joe comes back with us. Agreed. That is why I say if we can get a decent deal and are playing bad trade him. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/10/24/joe-johnson-questions-hawks-direction/ Pot calling the kettle black.

Moderators AHF Posted October 26, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Pot calling the kettle black. It seems like bad timing from a PR standpoint to criticize the team for listless play when you were a big part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true...........and every scout and executive saw the truth. Don't get my wrong..............I hope JJ starts the season on a tear and this awful loss is used to motivate the team to come out on fire and with tons of passion.

Premium Member Wretch Posted October 28, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Every team stinks it up now and again. The better teams do it less often. What's most important though, is that the best teams shake it off, learn from it, and bounce back. Let's see how we come out in the season opener.
