You may be correct (as anything is possible) but it's hard to see how you can make this assertion. In the third all of his shots were layups... |
Johnson was lighting us up like a Christmas tree through 3 quarters, the Hawks just stopped going to him, and he lost his rhythm. Not his fault. Also, Jamal Crawford just started jacking up shit, contested 3's/deep 2's, of which he missed virtually every single one during the 4th quarter/overtime. I don't see how my point is that far-fetched. Also, if you've watched JJ with any regularity, you know that if you feed him the ball enough, he will start ABUSING JJB, whereas Johnson seemed content to get to the free throw line extended and pull up over him. Johnson could easily have put this game.
Don't get me wrong, Dirk/Kidd/Jet/Haywood were all clutch as hell, but I think this was mainly due to incredibly poor shot selection by Crawford/not going to JJ enough.
Call me crazy.
