Yes yes, liar. I knew it didn't look right.

I've been playing too much scrabble and the spelling center of my brian is fried.

There is no 3-foul rule. That just happens to be the way it has worked out the last few games.

On Amir Johnson:

“Right now, if I had to project him as something, I’d project that he’s going to be an incredible defender. When you can block shots and rebound and move your feet like he can, you’ve got a chance man. You’ve got a chance to be great on defense and right now, I’d say his defense is ahead of his offense, but watch that guys numbers in the amount of minutes he plays out there. It jumps out at you.”
Rodman with more offense?

The Amirzing One

Quote:
The game, although decided much earlier, ended on a semi-dramatic note when the bench players strung together a series of plays that got the remaining crowd and the starters on their feet.


First Amir Johnson saved a ball by diving into the first row of seats. He then sent the ball to rookie Arron Afflalo, who nailed a 16-footer near the shot-clock buzzer. The Bobcats raced down the court and looked like they were going to get a dunk, but with Johnson contesting, Jermareo Davidson's emphatic slam attempt bounced off the rim.


The Pistons got the rebound, and Stuckey headed up the court for a driving dunk over former Eastern Michigan standout Earl Boykins. Then Johnson stole the ball from Charlotte, and Afflalo got a wide-open breakaway dunk, for which Billups jokingly chided him in the locker room.
"That was terrible," Billups said. "First Stuckey goes down and has a driving dunk, dunking over someone. Then he follows it with that."
AJ is a game changer. He makes great things happen.

Yes AA can dunk. We saw it happen yesterday.

Johnson's progress lauded

But coaches still are wary of pushing too hard, expecting too much from the forward, 20.

Mh, this article resembles Parker's: too impatient fans take everything for granted.All those accusations towards flip that he doesn't know what he does with bench, have for me sounded very silly(this forum has been full of these). Some fierce prosecutors surely feel themselves foolish, but hey, it's already past! What was said, was said, it doesn't matter anymore, future counts.

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker

I think they have just been purposely holding him back because they are paranoid that he isn't responsible enough at his age. Maybe the method has worked to give him more hunger and a better mindset.

As long as he is ready to contribute in the playoffs, I'll be happy.
