Joe Johnson to play vs. Charlotte
Hawks guard Joe Johnson will play Friday night against Charlotte after missing the last two games with tendinitis in his Achilles tendon.
Johnson practiced with the team Friday morning at the team’s shootaround at Philips Arena. Johnson said his Achilles had been bothering for the last month and a half or two months.
“I just felt it was time for me to get a little rest off of it and try and let it heal up a little bit,” he said.
Johnson said he won’t limit his minutes on the floor against the Bobcats. In his absence, the Hawks beat New Jersey but lost at Toronto Wednesday night on a last-second basket.
“It’s going to be good to get back out there with the fellas and start us a new streak,” he said.
More to come later.

Interesting how JJ can’t get a call, but Jamal manages to. Who knows what is up with the refs.
On the flip side of that coin, Jamal is constantly putting pressure on the defense when he drives the ball, as they can either foul him or let him score. That would be the difference between him and JJ right now…JJ is still trying to get separation for a fallaway jumper.

Refs are screwing us big time. Only time Joe got a chance at and 1, they take it away.

Watched the replay on that, and I hate to say it but Wallace was in place.
Joe can’t buy a good play tonight.

I still don’t like that call, though.
Now, can Joe bounce back like other elite players and find a way to help his team?

And in that Toronto game, Marvin was for sure pushed out of bounds, but refs never called it.

Marvin has been a one-man wrecking crew on the boards. Gotta give it to him.

Finally, a shot goes down for Joe, but Capn’ Jax neutralizes it. Ugh. We may not get to walk away from this one…

Haven’t seen a skinny guy who wanted the ball that bad since Dennis Rodman.
Gerald Wallace is phenomenal.

Bad FT miss by JJ and again poor defensive rebounding… We depend too much on athleticism and don’t box out properly – also on account of the switching we don’t have a steady presence down under…

We’ve actually kept it close on the boards, they only have 3 more than we do.

every team has a player who destroys the hawks. maybe someone who’s willing to spend some cash and bring in a legit superstar will buy the Hawks. How bout it Mr. Blank?

Look. I know y’all just hate Josh taking that jumper, but WTF was he going to do?
And if it had gone in, it would have been the worst thing for him, and YOU KNOW IT.
