Nov 22 G Vince Carter said it was a change of shoes at halftime that might have helped him Sunday in Toronto. He hit only 2 of 11 shots in the first half with his blue shoes. He switched to the black ones at intermission, and he hit 7 of 13 shots. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 19 Head coach Stan Van Gundy wants Carter to play more aggressively, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Recommendation: Van Gundy believes Carter has played too unselfishly at times and wants him to attack more often. There obviously is not a direct correlation between Carter's intensity and his statistics, but don't be surprised to see Carter taking more shots over the next few weeks, especially with starting point guard Jameer Nelson (knee) out of action. If Carter does indeed increase his shot attempts, it's a reasonable assumption that his points and three-pointers made will go up as well.
