So if they are admittedly cryptic and assuming they are about basketball might be completely wrong, why would anyone make assumptions about them at all?  Sure they *may* mean what you imply in the second paragraph.  Or it may imply something completely different.  So what use is it?

For the same reason we talk about fantasy scenarios that play us into or out of the tournament, predict the W/L's before the season begins, and try to determine lineups 3 years into the future. It's all tied to MU hoops, and if there's a chance that it impacts the team or the game, then people will talk about it.

It seems like there is something going on between JJ and Wojo, so when JJ sends out a tweet that appears to be related, people will jump on it. That's never going to change. Don't act like you've never picked up an US Weekly because of a cryptic message that may or may not have meant anything about Brad and Angelina's relationship.

Actually, I have never picked up an US Weekly for any reason.     The intrigue of celebrities means nothing to me.   As far as JJJ/Wojo, if you believe what you read from 22 year old's tweeting and think it is directly related to MU hoops, it appears that Wojo has once again tried to get his team (or possibly just JJJ) re-focused and is trying to build a winning culture.    It appears that he may even have had a 1-on-1 conversation with JjJ.    I have always just assumed these things happened all the time.    However, if JjJ is done buying into it, what other options are there over the next couple of weeks?

Twitter Tracker the last few days leads me to believe there's a real rift between JJJ and Wojo....Not sure how deep it goes, where it comes from, and if other players have the same rift.

There should be a rift. Johnson is a dog who jumps passing lanes and abandons his teammates when he's late to an attempted steal. He has one move to the basket and it has a 25% success rate. He pouts after getting his $hit rubbed at the rim and refuses to get back on defense. He's been nearly invisible the last month.

Any coach worth their principles would have an issue with a player like Johnson.

To add, whatever he did that caused him to earn a DNP against Xavier.

This is definitely not the first time JJ has tweeted things like that this season. Multiple times has he tweeted things that seem to be linked to Wojo/the program. 22 year old definitely a more unfiltered source than the well prepared Wojo when discussing these issues.

Why do I read into it? Cuz it is fun and this is a message board where people say fun things because it is fun and we all come on every day to read innane posts because MUBB is FUN.

Yeah, I have no problem with it. Don't treat this stuff like gospel, but I have no doubt there a few kernels of truth there.

And, of course, somebody will always mention "could be girlfriend related". Never fails.

My girlfriend is constantly dogging me about my lack of culture. I feel his pain.

Here is what he said:

Jajuan Johnson‏ @chosenJAUN  15h15 hours ago
Lets do it for the culture

AND

Jajuan Johnson‏ @chosenJAUN  15h15 hours ago
A lot of problems that can't be fix with a conversation


So what the hell do these even mean? Are these about basketball?  If so, HOW are they about basketball? 

If you want to read stuff into that go right ahead.  But I hope you understand that you might be completely off base.
do it for the culture are song lyrics...scroll  down to the second verse

MU's assist rate at X was less than their season avg... X had a 9% higher assistvrate than MU... yet our paltrynoffense sneaked out a win with 1.33 ppp... only the 2 games at DePaul was our offense better

#AssistRateNoMatta
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.
