Fluke or Puke?

[Crytek]

As Ghazi noted in the Bos-Orl Thread, Hedo Turkoglu had a plusminus of +30 in 33 minutes. In an 8 Point-Game.


Now, People may or may not recall Darko once having a Game with a PM of +35 in 19 Minutes vs Okc that Minny lost. Surprisingly, Milicic is currently not a Frontrunner at the All-Star Votes, but that's another story.

He was on the floor when Minnesota played its best basketball and finished with eight points and eight rebounds in a season-high 19 minutes of action. Despite the Timberwolves losing [by 2], Minnesota was plus-35 with Milicic, who is admittedly out of game shape, on the floor.
"I was trying to focus on breathing," Milicic said. "I was just focusing on breathing so I didn't die."

Back to Michael Jordan of Turkey....

Hedo was also a +24 in 27 Minutes against the Spurs, btw, though that was a 22pt blowout.

The Question is, is Hedo's staggering number/positive influence on the Magic on-court perfomance a fluke or is he going to make people in Tor and Pho puke by playing well from now on?

voted for puke..he was a good player in orlando before he went to toronto. he fits perfectly into that system and he will be a good player now because their system didn't change. how good a player is often depends on the system. take steve nash as an example. he was 30 when he left dallas, and at the time no one would take him into consideration in a 'greatest pg of all-time' argument. now many people do. he won 2 mvps and the d'antoni system made him look like the second coming of magic johnson or john stockton.

Somewhere, Tom Brady is smiling.

Turkey-Glue will see a revival in Orlando.

On a side note, Orlando has won four straight, enters a 4 game homestand against so-so teams and might not lose again before mid january.

Casual Triple Double for Turkdodo: 10 Points, 14 Rebounds, 10 Assists, 5 Steals. Guess the Warriors didn't come out to play....
