Indystar Post about Jermaine O'Neal

Quote:
Jermaine - 29 shots
other four starters - 26

I'm sorry, but that's just crazy.

Yeah, I realize Jermaine is our best player--but someone needs to remind him--and Carlisle, if Rick is happy with that situation--that there are four other guys on the floor.

We clearly need to get guys other than JO and Tinsley involved into the offense.

I'll be damned if I didn't like the post-brawl type of play, even if they were outmanned and lost games.

Screw this. This team will go nowhere with this style of play.

Jermaine needs to start sharing the effing ball. And Tinsley needs to started running the offense with something in mind other than getting the ball to Jermaine every trip--at least if JO is never gonna pass out to the open man.

Yeah, I know we beat Memphis and Phoenis--but this team is not going to get the string of victories it needs playing this way.

I do kind of agree with this guy. Although he has no one else to really pass to, JJ, Foster, Freddie, and Bender all shot 50% or above with limited shots. Besides these guys and Jermaine, our team shot 8-31. There's bound to be at least one other person who might shoot well that game, and I think the Jones' deserve the ball more often.

Recently, I only got chances to watch 2 Pacers' games. One was against Mavs and another was against Nets.

The games gave me the impression that JO is certainly the only core of current Pacers' offense tactic. JO's quite slow in turing from defense end to offense end. Usually when the opponents are all back to their own court, then we start attacking. And since JO's dramatic form continues, other guys starts shaking off the confidence they built when JO was suspended. James Jones, Fred Jones were all "afraid of" taking shots even wide open. Maybe Carlisle need to adjust the offense tactic and let/order other guys must to take shots and definite those OPEN shots.

Another point is that Miller is really struggling at this level of game. Maybe the games he performed well when he just back from the injury was because those opponents didn't believe he still can score a lot in a game. Now they only need to mark him and he's hardly to impress anymore, sigh . I believe we should give FJ more minutes and I'm sure Miller understands this.
