<div class="quote_poster">Quoting heatfan83:</div><div class="quote_post">Pat Riley was mostly impressed on how well he did in the playoffs against the Pistons, offensively. He's pretty good and will be competing against Keyon Dooling as Skip's replacement. And he will fill in for the gap that Alston left. ----------------------- Regular Season in 03-04 ----------------------- Damon Jones Regular Season 7ppg 5.8apg 2.1rpg .366 3PT% in 24.6mpg Rafer Alston Regular Season 10.2ppg 4.5apg 2.8rpg .371 3PT% in 31.5mpg ----------------------- Playoffs in 03-04 ----------------------- Damon Jones in 5 games against Detroit during the first round 10ppg 7.6apg 4rpg .476 3PT% in 28.8 mpg Rafer Alston in 7 against New Orleans during the first round 7.4ppg 1.4apg 2.1rpg 200 3PT% in 22.9mpg in 6 games against Indiana during the second round 6.5ppg 2.4apg 2.8rpg .273 3PT% in 22.5mpg Damon Jones' regular season performance was comparable to Rafer and his Playoff performance was even better as Rafer's regular season stats did not reflect in the playoffs. He's gonna make a good backup PG and his focus should be working on improving his defense. If Riley thought it was a good pickup, then I say it was too. Trust in Riley </div> Yes and the best thing is that Damon Jones is a pass first Point guard. We will do better with a pass first PG. Dwyane, Shaq, and Eddie are all the scoring threats we''l need and Malone would help a lot too. WOw I guess I never really compared Skips stats to Damon Jones stats. They're comparible . I still wish Skip could've stayed. He was my favorite Heat player too before Shaq came in. I just hate the Raptors so now I'm not really a big fan oh gim.

But he got a better deal with the Raptors. I bet had he known that Shaq was going to be playing for the Heat he would've resigned no questions asked. Atleast we got a good replacement. Now to work on our PF/SF issues
