Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

"I’m real aggressive right now," [Hedo Turkoglu] said. "I’m trying to turn the corner and just look for my shot first and be aggressive and then help."

About damn time.

Great to see him.. it’s not just a bonus, but a necessity with Gilbert stuck in first gear, and Jameer injured once again.

Look at this team experience

Dwight and Turk went to the Finals together. Jameer and Dwight went to the ECF last year. And J Rich was in the WCF last year. Everyone would get frustrated by the magic lackadaisical play, but these guys are veterans. 9 game winning streak was no fluke. If you look at their path to the ECF this is best possible matchups for them. As fans you hate to see them not care about the regular season, but quite simply it is what it is. Only two concerns are free throws and turnovers.

Roll Bass and War Ryno for me

Turkoglu said "[I have to just] look for my shot first and be aggressive and then help". In that order, if he has spoken correctly?

Historically, Hedo is a high percentage 3-point shooter and an efficient play-maker, but not a consistently good shooter, and occasionally, takes ill-advised or unnecessarily difficult shots. It is wise for him not to pass up shots when open (i.e., passing to Earl Clark when a 3-pointer is needed), but to look for his shots first? I don’t think so. Being aggressive is fine as long as it does not turn into more TO’s. So is “help” which I take as ‘help defense’.

Lol, you are a real Hedo hater!

I don’t get it, why do you hate him so much? Every time, you just criticize him..?

Or, uh, he could just be right.

Otis Smith, what you've just done is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard of. At no point in your rambling, incoherent trades were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having witnessed it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Looking for his shot first...

in turn creates more playmaking. It makes Hedo use his instincts rather than a predetermined pass and makes him more of a threat.

Unfortunately, his instincts sometimes are off-balance long 2s falling away with two people in his face, while someone else is wide open.

But shooting when he’s open, or creating off the dribble to collapse the defense and open another player? That’s the right kind of aggressive.

I'd only seen the mobile version of the site once. Wanted to check it out again.

Logging in took longer than writing the comment. So I wound up needing my friend’s iPhone for roughly 15 minutes or so, once you factor in typing in the URL and logging out and everything.
