He did it against Denver and for once, he really impressed me.

I think he should always play like that instead of waiting beyond the arc.

[MagicFan149]

he is valuable in the post.... especially when dwights not in the game... he can go to his right relatively well when he drives... i wouldnt mind him getting more shots... the xtra shots for him and dwight should just be coming from the sg and to an extent from the pg...

[bucsmagicfan]

Why does Rashard care? He's already maxed out and the team is winning. Just shut up and get a rebound already.

[MagicFan149]

lol bucs... you do have a lil bit of a point

[parso15]

To some point he is right he should have the first step against most of the PF's he is facing & against the Nuggets he was impressive.
About posting up I am not so sure... he could do it on switches. Maybe a pick & roll with Hedo. If they switch either a postup play for Rashard or Hedo & quickness versus the PF.

However if he speaks about simply more jumpers... no thanks!

[Bucs80]

We need him to play defense and get rebounds.

Offense is already scoring 100+ points a game, adding another 3-4 points won't change much.

And I swear he had said this like 4 times already this season. Buy hasn't produced 3/4 times he had said it.

It's fairly simple, we need to be playing Rashard at the small forward spot. He is way more effective there and simply a better fit, the Denver game showed that.

The starting line-up will probably not be changing for the rest of the season, however, it doesn't mean we can't see more of Brian Cook in order to move Rashard to the 3 and play Hedo at the 2guard spot.

[MagicFan149]

^^brian cook has been on fire... if he keeps playing that way youre idea is something the magic may have to entertain

[Typhoon20]

Just STFU ! and play defense...mmmkkaay ?

Offensively this lineup would be great... don't know about defense though. Still I think it should be tried out at least.

He must be pissed at Jameer, lol

He must be pissed at Jameer, lol

I think he is asking for more plays which start with him getting the ball and using his faster first step against some of the bigger guys... or at least I hope so.

[Furinkazan]

Why so much hate?
I think it woudnt hurt if he got 4-5 more shots a game.
everybody including himself thought he will be an all star averaging like 25 a game....but life is a bi.ch.....eh?
You can say its his fault hes overrated and so on....but the real problem is that he is playing out of his position.
He's playing much better at SF when Hedo is on the bench resting or in foul trouble....
why hate...
You can say whatever You want but that problem will be there...Do You expect to play him at PF for the rest of his career?Sooner or later SVG will have to decide what to do with Hedo and Lewis....bench one or move at sg....we wont run away from this decision....maybe it will be after this season but one day we will get a starting PF and then the decision has to be made...

[314gmASTERmind]

He wants to win and believes he can score more. Seems good to me. I want more drive and passion out of him. If he was as agressive as Turk we would win every close game.

[PimpORL]

lol Typical. He should be getting love for trying to be more aggressive even though the Magic aren't letting him play his game. Props to Rashard.

[MagicFan149]

i think that rashard is holding back... he is trying to be exactly what this team needs... rashard's game is so effortless he makes it look easy... if we can keep our sg's from taking 15 shots a game and have rashard be a little more assertive the second half of the season is gonna be fun.

[mattyBoi]

I think this falls on jameer, bogans and any other chuckers we have on the team.

[TooNice00]

i agree with rashard. just give him the ball more during that time when he is always out there without hedo and dwight.

Good post, I agree. Just stop talking and do it...thats all I'm saying.
