Bro watch some of his games properly all you see is him hitting a couple of game winners, what about when he has 20% shooting games. Just what i see champ. Many times in the finals he tried to make big 3s when there were better options inside and still time on the clock. Are you an expert on nba bro?

20% shooting nights? Any stats to back that claim up>

I watched the entire Finals series and if he was guilty of taking to may shots when there were better options, then so are Lewis, Alston, Jameer, Dwight (who was forcing sooo much across the keyway) and Pietrus!

To single out Hedo as a ball hog n that side is a joke! Magic shot the ball well most fo the season, as did Turk himself.

To single out a player for being a ball hog for doing what he is paid/told to do, is just ridiculous and narrow minded.

Just to play devil's advocate on the 20% shooting nights

During the regular season he shot 33% or worse 23 times out of 77 games. This includes 9 times at less than 25%, and 20% or less 6 times.

Lowlights: 1/14 at 7.1% v MIA
1/13 at 7.7% v IND
2/12 at 16.7% v DEN
3/18 at 16.7% v BOS

During the postseason he shot worse than 33% in 9 of 24 games. This includes 6 times at 25% or less and 2 games under 20%.

Lowlights: 1/11 at 9.1% v CLE
2/12 at 16.7% v PHI
3/14 at 21.4% v PHI
3/13 at 23.1% v BOS

I still stand b the fact he wouldnt be the only one! And in the Final Series he didn't shot that badly at all!!

Agreed. Turkoglu is a big time player who has hit many a big shots over the last 2 seasons.

To ask him not to shoot it would just be ridiculous. He's not a ball-hog by any means, that's a stupid thing to say.

Well Carter is better than Turkoglu, you cant dispute that. Im not hating on hedo, but I dont think he can make toronto a playoff team.

Carter is a better individual player than Turkoglu yes.
Carter is a better scorer than Turkougly yes.

Can Carter play the role for the Magic that Turkoglu has played for the past 2 seasons? - No.

And that's why the Cavs will probably take the Magic's spot in the Finals this coming season.
