    This had to be one of Shaq`s most worse career games ever.

    I didn`t know though that you had to talk to the media after a Finals game...

    Indeed. Age is catching up to him. This to me proves that this is his last shot at getting a ring.

    Also, if Miami loses, you guys can expect him to point fingers at Wade, Haslem, Riley, the ball boy, the PA announcer. He'll point fingers at anyone not named Shaquille O'neal. Miami could be in for a major hurricane this hurricane season...Hurricane Shaq.

    Well after being so confident that they were getting this ring, it has to be humiliating to lose this series.(if they do) Shaq said 3 isn't enough and he wants at least 4 or 5. When you can't keep your words...it's hard to face people who are obviously going to ask "so what now?"

    I'd rather take the fine then show my face after an outing like that. Especially after naming myself the MOST DOMINANT EVER and scoring just 5 points!
