Good article. Atleast were not the only ones that realize whats going on here! Hopefully Joe can play unselfishly like he did against Toronto!
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

It's not the forced shots; it's the tempo-stifling, offensive-movement-killing DRIBBLING Joe has to do in order to take those forced shots. Joe is not a good passer out of double teams, and I don't think anyone'd argue that point. He dribbles with his head kinda down and he gets bottled up because of that. Then, he goes one-against-the-world, where the real thing "forced" is the standing around our other players have to do.

I've been saying it might not be Joe's fault but that it might be Woodson's offensive scheme (or what passes for one). This quote could indicate the latter is true.
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

Great blog. I'd like to see the Hawks move both JJ and Woodson. JJ is NOT worth more than what they already offered and the team can move forward better without his next big contract.

I don't know if I'd re-up the 4@$60M offer. S&T
