richnba 3 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Huge lift off the bench? How soon we all forget, that at least twice a series we have been *****ing about how bad AJ has played. How we need a better backup pg, and now we find ourselves down 1-3 and its where is AJ, he must be what is wrong with the team? Really AJ is now the x-factor of the Magic?

Skywise316 211 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 We're talking about Anthony freggin' Johnson!! For the love of God. He played well against the Cavs, but who didn't?? Well, other than Redick? Such short memories around. What about Philly's Lou Williams TORCHING this guy every single game in the first round? *sighs, exasperated* It's A.J.! Why are people talking about him like he's Devin Harris or something?? Or perhaps more to the point, Carlos Arroyo!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why are people talking about him like he's Devin Harris or something?? Or perhaps more to the point, Carlos Arroyo!? That's a bit of an overreaction imho. They're not talking him up to be Devin Harris. There's no LouWill-type player in this series. And we're not talking more than 3 minute stretches. Think Jacque Vaughn. The guy does have a knack for getting to the rim, doesn't make many mistakes and can knock down shots if given. Not to mention he was a part of the previous 12 wins. So yeah 0 minutes is baffling given the lineup shuffling I've seen up to this point. Defensively, after the last game, no one has an argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Langen 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, if he was in, everybody would be screaming to play Jameer. Anthony Johnson is not going to give us any extra lift to beat LA. Everybody screaming for Johnson are probably the same people who hated him playing during the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Johnson is not going to give us any extra lift to beat LA. Everybody screaming for Johnson are probably the same people who hated him playing during the year. Sometimes it's not about lifts it's about keeping it steady. With the whole PG situation, it's been anything but steady. Skip's great, not too great, Skip can't hit a shot, Jameer started great, left him in there too long, Skip was out too long and don't want to put him back in, let Hedo run the point, etc etc etc. Hasn't that been the subplots to every loss? How about playing a guy used to playing backup role? Through all this confusion a couple points swings this "close-out" in Orlando's favor. I'm not lobbying for more AJ than I can stand, but 0 minutes is odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller4Prez64 1 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 AJ sucks, but honestly he probably could give us 5 points off the bench while Nelson is only good for 2 or 3, so why not play him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicNoles 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 We don't need to change anything to beat LA. We need to make freethrows in the 4th quarter. Dwight or Hedo hits 1 FT we win the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommaco 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Dang guys some of you are acting like i want AJ to play big min and cary the team solo....**** the point i was trying to make is the guy has got ZERO min so far in every game, we havent even fished to see what we can get from him when both alston and jameer are not playing well. I believe if Alston and Jameer are not getting the job done then we should Throw AJ in for a few min just to see if he sparks something. Everyone remembers the DUNK in the phily series those types of things fire our team up and give us the energy boost to play hard for the full 48! Calm down people dang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not saying Jameer is not a great player, but probably people talk about AJ (obviously, as you know, that includes me) because that's how bad Jameer is playing right now, lol!

AJ numbers and production are way better than what Jameer has been giving us. Not to mention he has expierence in the finals. He is also a much better defender and when he is in the game Turk gets the ball more running the point and Turk has been killing the Lakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
