Amir Johnson has been looking good the last couple of games, with back-to-back double-doubles, and also back-to-back games playing 30+ mins, something that hasn't happened all season. To me, it looks like he's running the floor better too.
The last 2 games, at 34 and 33 minutes played, are the most minutes Johnson has played in any of his 69 games so far this season, other than a 36 minute game back in early November. He's averaging 11ppg, 12.5rpg, 3.5apg, 2.5bpg, while shooting 83% over this 2 game stretch.
I believe I heard Tommy and Mike say during either the Orl or Tor game, that Amir has told them that this is the first time all season he feels completely healed from his plantar fasciitis.
If that's really the case, it would be great to see a lot of 30+ minute games with similar numbers from him going forward. He's averaging less than 23mpg for the season, maybe the plantar fasciitis was holding him back.
Only 2 games, I know, but since this is the "feel good" / pep rally / "optimism only" thread, I feel safe posting this here
