Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted April 2, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Based on nothing more than hunches so far, my guess is that Joe makes the cut as All-NBA Third Team. Do you think he'll make the cut this season? (First Team) G - Wade G - Kobe F - LeBron F - Durant C - Dwight (Second Team) G - Nash G - Deron F - Melo F - Dirk C - Bosh (Third Team) G - Roy G - JOE F - Boozer F - Duncan C - Amar'e Other Third-Team contenders: Billups, Rondo, Jackson, Monta, Crash, DLee, Bogut. I think the Celtics could almost fill out the whole All-NBA 4th Team if there was one. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankWhite Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I think he has a good shot at making the 2nd team and is virtually a lock for 3rd team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Would be a great honor for JJ, not so sure the haters or the ASG's checkbook would feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Lethal, I said 2 months ago that while people were going around trashing JJ for his so-called "selfish play", that not only was he having his best season in 3 years, he also has a good shot to be at least 3rd team ALL-NBA. The only thing that may prevent this, is the fact that people really underrate Joe Johnson. He's not a highlight flashy type of guy and he hasn't had many stratospheric scoring games. He's just solid and steady night in and night out. That's why tonight's game, from a personal standpoint for him, may be very important for him to gain the attention of the sportswriters who vote for the All-NBA teams. If he can give a repeat performance against the Cavs, like he did against the Lakers, he may lock up at least a 3rd team selection. His case is helped by the fact that both Tony Parker and Chris Paul won't make the squad ( after making it last year ). Chauncey Billups probably won't make it either. I think the last 2 guard spots on the 3rd team will come down to JJ, Deron, and Rajon Rondo ( who is pretty much the leader of the Celtics now ). One of those guys will be left out. If that guy is JJ, it will be a shame, and I hope it fuels him in the postseason. Because he's such a quiet player, he's an easy player for these sportswriters to overlook. If he has a real good game tonight, which leads to a Hawks victory, this should put him back on the radar in the eyes of the national media.

TheNorthCydeRises Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 You people need to stop acting like Delonte shut JJ down, when he was seeing a double team for the vast majority of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUhawksfan Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 You people need to stop acting like Delonte shut JJ down, when he was seeing a double team for the vast majority of the game. Yep. Joe plays good against the Lakers <crickets>. Joe has a bad game against the Cavs: the Joe haters return! They were just waiting for one bad game.
