I guess that's something that goes with experience. One thing going for JJ is that he has the quickness to be out of control. All he needs to do, as you said, is to learn how to use it. JJ seems to be the slow learner type so maybe we wont' see that till next year.

I'm starting to get tired of Marion's act.

Just can't seem to count on him in crunch time.

Marion's actually been pretty good during crunch time. Something about this year is making his shots off, some added muscle maybe?

Apparently, Joe Johnson is another guy who plays better with Penny around. ;)

You know, it's really hard to fault him for this game. I feel like I'm down on him a lot, and it's unfair at times cause like tonight he's given us a lot of energy in every other facet of the game. But damn. I don't know what to say. Why is he shooting that shot within the last minute when JJ, Penny, Marbury, Voskhul, and Amare are playing better?

Marion's gotta grow up. He's not a rookie anymore.

I don't see Marbury missing a shot if he shoots it here. Anybody else, who knows.

Is Marion point shaving? Every bungle he made tonight looked suspicious.
