V.C. Promise: "I'll be a new me in February"!(link)

And he delivered...

 

quote:

After one of the worst months of his career, Vince Carter promised his Orlando Magic teammates that he would improve in February.

 

He made good on that pledge during Sunday's 96-89 road win over the Boston Celtics.

 

Carter scored a game-high 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting. The performance contrasted sharply with a horrid January in which he made just 28.4 percent of his shots.

 

"It's been a long time coming," Carter said in the Magic locker room after the game. "I told the guys coming into this month. I said, 'It's a new me.' "

He starts off good... but let the games do the talking, not the mouth, VC.

The Magic will be a tough team to beat if he can continue to contribute like he did today.

Great Carter showing today. If he plays like this every night, I think we'd be close to unbeatable. Bring on the Cavs then the Lakers! Vengeance is ours...

Carter is looking better. I never thought he was the main problem. I'm more worried about Nelson. Will he ever regain his former effectiveness? I have doubts. Otis needs to give up his mancrush on Nelson, and find a better pointguard. I like Jason Williams, but he's too old to play many minutes.

Well it didnt hurt that we were shooting like 50% from 3 land...

 

Your right, if VC can stay aggressive and make his shots, then we should be alright.

 

But its going to be our defense that is going to determine our offense...

 

We stepped up our defense, rotated to the open man quickly, which chased Pierce and Allen off the 3..

 

And Dwight did a great job of putting his mark on the game with his blocks, running down Allen was my favorite.

True. My wish list would be Rondo or Westbrook, would never happen, but it would be nice. Especially rondo, we would be unbeatable.

Yeah dude, have you seen that guy? He's way too short.

When Carter's focused, his man-to-man defense is fantastic. Pierce couldn't get anywhere.

We need someone who passes first.
