ATLANTA (AP) -- Joe Johnson scored a season-high 36 points and Charlotte couldn't overcome the longest field-goal drought to open an NBA game this season, helping the Atlanta Hawks beat the Bobcats 99-90 on Wednesday night.

Johnson missed his first five shots and had only two points in the opening quarter before scoring 22 in the second.
Much of Johnson's early scoring came at the expense of Bobcats rookie Adam Morrison, who struggled keep up with the Hawks' veteran. Johnson was 9-of-10 from the field, making all of his three 3-pointers, in the second period.

Johnson took the rookie to task here...I don't know why the Celtics ever got ride of Johnson...he's good.

Anyone know why Okafor only got in 17 minutes in this one?

See, this is what I was saying about Morrison's defense. Johnson ate him for lunch. They play both ways in this league, rook.

Not so fast my man...he did a good job on King James early on...he is not totally lacking in the department...but its more of a hit and miss...
