andre milller, brandon jennings, jamal crawford, players sometimes are in the zone and make shots. that doesn't mean that they'll bring it everynight a la lebron, dwade, kobe. in no way is vince washed up IMO, but he isn't the player he was in toronto and the first couple years in NJ. age catches up with everyone, even the dream.
I knew this would happen.... Peja scored 29....29 who says old guys can't find the fountain of youth (bad defenses).
he hasn't been the same after Divac retired and he signed with NO not that i care cause they're in our division.
Who ever said he's washed up? I criticize him quite often but anyone who thinks he can't perform is out of their mind. VC's problems are totally between his ears IMO, but that's a huge hurdle for him. Tonight's game doesn't convince me he can perform on a team like the Magic that has other talented players where he isn't the clear #1 option 100% of the time. The Magic won't fix their problems by VC putting up 27 shots per game.
What a great night for VC, I think he needed it. Because I was kinda tired of seeing him shooting 5/15 like every single game. The guy was shooting 28% last month! But I don't really like his game. I mean, he can do everything on the bball court but he doesn't. He LOVES jumpers. And it is a miss or make league. He had been missing shots earlier, but yesterday he made them all. But those were still mostly all those tough jumpers.
I turned in towards the end of the 4th, and what I couldn't help but observe is that pretty much every Magic play towards the end was give Carter the ball and watch him go Francis-style on the entire Hornet defense. I mean, yeah, it's impressive when the shots fall, but when they don't, I imagine it would be horrifically bad for them. I still think Orlando is not going to be the Eastern Conference champs this year - them beating Cleveland was a fluke, and it won't happen again.
Just to be clear, he's referring to Simmon's Book of Basketball, where talks about the key to basketball as relayed to him by Isiah Thomas -- basically, it boils down to sacrificing individual success for the team.
Just because he did good in one game doesn't means nothing. He's washed up, and its a good thing Morey didn't do a deal for him last season.
