    Center Shaquille O'Neal, while saying he wouldn't start playing the blame game, said: "Guys need to find a way to get me the ball a little bit easier so I won't have to shoot it with two or three guys on me all the time."</p>

    O'Neal fouled out and ended with eight points and seven rebounds, marking the second time in his 16-year career he's been held to single-digit scoring in consecutive games.</p>

    O'Neal had nine points and seven rebounds in Thursday's season-opening 91-80 loss against Detroit.</p>

    <span class="body">

    O'Neal, facing constant double teams for the second consecutive game, couldn't find any solutions. Riley said the Pacers "muscled him well."</p>

    O'Neal, who was 4-for-6 from the field Thursday, ended Friday 4-for-13 from the field and admitted afterward, "I didn't get a lot of shots up (Thursday) so I was rushing my shots."</p>

    Things could be worse. At least Shaq didn't guarantee a win yet.</p>

    That's definitely a shot at Ricky Davis.</p>
