On a night when the Hawks were in need of another point guard, veteran Anthony Johnson wasn't even in the building. Johnson left Friday morning's shootaround practice early after a disagreement with Hawks coach Mike Woodson. Johnson was later spotted walking out of Philips Arena 70 minutes before tipoff of Friday night's game against Seattle. Woodson said it was an internal matter and that Johnson would accompany the team to Milwaukee for Satuday night's game against the Bucks.

Sounds like a kid needing to have a fit or just wanting to go have a break....a soft drink, a smoke and get things pulled together.

Life is short...their are more important things to do in life and not everyone is the same as their father.

I say that the other players should like speak to him and make him learn from his mistakes. Could be another episode of roid rage at five.

Upon seeing this, Isaiah is now putting together a deal around trading Stephon Marbury for Anthony Johnson.

I am getting tired of Woodie anyway... I have been following all of the Hawks games this year, and every game he pulls the hottest hand out... It doesn't make any sense... Is it brain surgery? If someone is hot, GET HIM THE BALL... Once he is double teamed, that means someone else is open... DEE DEE DEEEEE
