Suns starters all played November 9th when he got 24 in Miami.

Very true.. Marion will have MONSTER games, against poor shooting, or up tempo teams... Against teams like Detroit, Boston, or Cleveland, I think he will struggle BIG time...

And if Miami is expecting to compete in the east anytime soon, they will have to go through those teams first.... Thats all I am saying, Marion will do nothing more, and probably less than what he has been doing...

Marion is a great player, he is a stat machine. My Issue with his play is, I think that Marion really doesn't change games like others think he does, and certainly he isn't a game changer in the playoffs.

I wish him luck, he will put up stats and may even help rebuild Miami, as long as he is happy and playing well I will still watch him.

But I certainly have no regret either.

Let's keep things in perspective. Marion is now on a horrible team. He took season-high 26 shots to score his 23 points. In fact, that's more shot attempts than he took in any single game the last two seasons. If he gets to shoot so much, and in Miami he might as well, then his scoring is bound to go up. And he has always been capable of getting 15-20 rebounds on any given night. I don't think there's anything that Marion can do in Miami that would surprise me.

haha Marion got 23 and 18 in 48 minutes last night and it only took 26 shots to get there. He and Wade both shot 11-26, unfortunately Shawn doesn't get to the line at all.
