Joe Johnson’s absence at Hawks’ practice Monday was understandable for his teammates. If anyone needed an extra day off it’s their captain and All-Star. Johnson draws superstar attention from opposing defenses but rarely enjoys the fruits of a superstar’s labor. Johnson shot just 1-for-8 from ...

by Tom Ziller Joe Johnson has been a
marvel this season, playing better than ever for an
up-and-down-but-mostly-up-except-lately Hawks team. J.J. is on his way to All-Star no-brainer status, if he keeps it up. But he's not discussed as one of the ...

LeBron James didn’t get to his scoring average,
but it didn’t matter as the Cavaliers rolled to
a 110-96 rout of the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs led the Hawks from wire to wire and LeBron found ways to dunk the ball all game long. He caught alley-oops. He faked behind the back passes ...

... Sekou Smith, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Joe Johnson’s absence at Hawks’ practice Monday was understandable for his teammates. If anyone needed an extra day off it’s their captain and All-Star. Johnson draws superstar attention from opposing defenses but rarely enjoys the fruits of a superstar’s labor. Johnson shot just 1-for-8 from the floor and scored a season-low four points in Saturday’s loss in Cleveland while playing on a sore foot. The injury sent him to the foot doctor Monday to get "his orthotics ...

... But he's not discussed as one of the league's superstars. Does that reality matter on the court? Sekou Smith of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution argues that it does, that some lack of respect by the world means that J.J. gets fewer foul calls than a top scorer deserves. ...
Joe Johnson's game grows, even if his rep doesn't
Right Down Peachtree —
... Joe Johnson is unequivocally one of the NBA's top players -- and the centerpiece of my fantasy team, the Pit Bulz on Krak* -- so why doesn't he get star treatment? In the NBA's celebritocracy, that translates to more phantom foul calls and more trips to the free-throw line. (And more creepy photos of you while you're sleeping, apparently.) The AJC's Sekou Smith argues that a scorer of Joe's caliber ought to be getting more calls: ...
Open Thread: Regular season game 14 vs. Atlanta Hawks
Bullets Forever —
... Tired or not, the problem is that Joe Johnson isn't anywhere close to a superstar. He's a decent third option who can do some things well, but can't be the go-to scorer on a good team. This is what we call "regression to the mean." JJ's a nice player, but without Josh Smith, he's being asked to do way too much. The more JJ shoots tonight, the better off we'll be. ...
