CLEVELAND — The scoring is his lowest since 2002-03. His shooting percentage is his lowest ever. So Joe Johnson recently decided he needed to do more in other areas, like rebounding and passing.
But in truth, the Nets need Johnson to shoot and score more. The scoring is the key. Johnson has shot. At 33.5 percent from the field, he just hasn’t made those shots.
“Just trying to do my job to the best of my ability, which I don’t think is necessarily about trying to score more,” Johnson said Friday after the Nets prepped for the Cavaliers at their New Jersey practice facility.
