After the game, there was a lot of talk about whether or not Nelson should have played and if so how much.Lost in the attention was Anthony Johnson, who just like that went from backup point guard to third point guard. Quite a demotion, and just in time for the NBA Finals. That was Johnson's only DNP-CD of the playoffs.Johnson Unhappy But Not Complaining originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:55:00 EST .
