<div class="quote_poster">Quoting heatfan:</div><div class="quote_post">What more can Shaq do ??? Eddie is WIDE OPEN !!! <font color="Red">Shaq's job is to draw the defense so the perimeter player can drain the shot. Shaq is doing a great job of that.</font> If you are referering to Shaq talking to Eddie so his mentality is different, Eddie Jones is a veteran. With that said I'm sure Shaq is still being supportive of him. How is Eddie Jones shooting CAREER LOWS in FG% Shaq's fault ??? </div> I don't know...I don't watch the Heat games...but it is a known fact that great players make others around them better, right? It doesn't tell how. Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan made their teammates better and won championships that way...and neither were the "big guy" in the paint. Shaq is getting credit for making players better in the past...so he should be able to do something.

There's no reason why he shouldn't be shooting 100%.

Is he getting along with the guy? Shaq and Eddie had problems with each other in the past...maybe Eddie doesn't feel important anymore? Eddie is known for his sharpshooting...and I used to watch Heat games until this season, so there's something else wrong. The game is more than just physical. There's something getting into his head, IMO. If you say he's wide open on every shot...then there's something else wrong.
Stan Van Gundy: "We had 3 supposed shooters out there on the last play..." "Shaq was wide open for a dunk at the end..." "Eddie Ive never been around something like this, I dont know whats going on with him, I dont know how the pressure is on him, its all on Shaq and Wade, not him..." "I dont know if we brought in the rigth guys, they are WIIIDDee open, its mind boggling that they dont hit them..." "I put in Anderson and he played like Suals been playing..." "Big deal pressure, well welcome to the NBA..."

Our guys haven't adjusted to being spot up shooters. Honestly I don't think it's nothign to do with Shaq and Eddie because no one takes EJ seriously so he gets a lot of open shots. EJ's just not stepping up. It's all in his head.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">"I dont know if we brought in the rigth guys, they are WIIIDDee open, its mind boggling that they dont hit them..." </div> It was really: I still believe we brought in the right guys. It is mind-boggling to me, with the shots they are getting -- they are wide open -- that we can't make those shots.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Guess I owe an apoligy to Banks for calling this a easy win for the Heat. The Raptors played well especially VC. Congrats on the win. In the end I am glad the Raptors won, because it keeps the Magic that much closer to the Heat.</div> I wish you Magic fans would stop comming to the game threads every time the Heat lose and say that it makes your team closer and closer....DONT post it here, do it on your own board...we dont care
Sorry ass EJ needs to go! He's hurting the team!. I don't care if he doesn't feel important anymore cuz he isn't anymore. Either make those shots or leave us EJ. GRRRR
