We are Doomed if we sign Joe johnson to a Max contract He's a perfect second option playing next to a Franchise player he needs to go somewhere where he knows his role clearly he is a Shoot first tall SF who's team ball IQ is pretty low.Josh hasen't had the same Fire as to when it was beginning of the season just lookin Lazy out there most of the time playing careless. And I dont know if it is coach's fault for not running plays for the 6th man or what but dallas runs plays for Jason terry to allow him to score,It seems we just have to get all our points off 1 on 1 plays woody is not the right coach for this team Their Talent alone is the reason we are winning....

What about your boy, Crawford? He has fallen off a cliff this series. His lack of production has killed us the most imo.

I said it way before the playoffs, Crawford was never use at his best, Woody just used the same thing he used with Joe.
And 53W with the n°1 healthy team in he league (I heard that ATL was the team with less injury this year), compared to 47W last year but with more injuries... this team is not better than last year.
Only some actions gave us the feeling that they were better, but it was not the case.
Even if he's better than Murray, Crawford had not bring anything more than him.
This series would be the same with Murray than Crawford.

I don't want to re-enter the impact of Murray/Crawford, but it was really looking like the same thing, except that Crawford plays more, so eats more ball.
And like I already said, last year team, healthy like the one this season, and with one more year, would have easily win 53 games.

What I can't understand is how Josh has changed.
He was mainly focused and smart this year, more than previous season. How is it possible that he has turned to the old Josh like that ? Too much confidence ?

I still think they can win the last two games, but I will start from "wanting to win these two games".
Maybe we should have send all the team to Euroleague for one year ;)
when you see how Jennings, Delfino and Ilyasova are playing. They seems to want a win more than anybody in ATL.
And when you think that the only ATL player who went to Euroleague doesn't want to return in ATL, and was on the verge to go to MIL last summer (if I am not wrong, it was the main possibility in sing-and-trade)...
