Has anyone watched Orlando play this year yet?
Looking at today's box score. Early in the 4th quarter and they have attempted 30 threes to the Pistons 5.
Carter has attempted 9 and Anderson 8. Was wondering if they are giving it into Howard and shooting out of a double team, or just jacking a heap of threes?

Don't know that but their success was due to Turkoglu feeding Howard well against tight defenses. Now that they have Carter instead they may need more than 1 ball to play with - considering how much Lewis likes to shoot too.

I think Howard has been in foul trouble in this game and its shown that without him as the focus of the offence the only plan B they have is long bombs

Reminds me - since when did Channing Frye jack threes?

howard was fouled out in 16mins. so the only go to guy would be carter so all they would od is shoot 3's

Howard fouled out in 16 minutes.
No Rashard Lewis, Pietrus or Foyle for the magic in this game might have changed things up a bit. Add to that Redick into the starting line up which means there will be more 3's

That's about as plausible as either of them learning it from me!

I don't take antyhing you post here very seriously Orbit! Phoenix may end up making the NBA playoffs, but they are not a team to be taken seriously when talking about an eventual champion.

The same Shaq that Orbit labelled as useless got 21 points @ 77%, and 8 Rebounds yesterday. I wouldn't give much credit to his knowledge of the NBA either.
