    A little bit of that.. but also a little bit of teams viewing Shaq as someone to put them over the top.

    Won't happen. Not cuz the deal is terribly shitty, but cuz Thomas got dealt in the Minne deal. Otherwise, very realistic.

    It's really too bad that there isn't someone on the Suns that we can snatch up. Their rotting corpse of a roster has nothing of real interest for us.

    Robin Lopez's hair-do will enhance each and every locker room in this great league. Each and every one!

    Cleveland VS. San Antonio finals shaping up for next year.

    Will be nice to see what everyone else does.

    There is no way San Antonio is in the Finals next season. No way. Adding Richard Jefferson is NOT going to change the fact that Tim Duncan is nearly done, Manu can't stay healthy, and they have no depth.

    Parker, Mason, Jefferson, Duncan, Oberto (maybe Gooden if they convince him to resign) with Manu off the bench....

    I see them doing quite well. Let's see what everyone else does.

    I like Nash from three or four years ago, but not so much now. I don't know... He used to run the pick and roll almost exclusively in Dallas, so maybe he could work here.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Oberto currently a Detroit Piston?

    Taking a series to six games is hardly smoked. We probably could have won the series too, if we hadn't been totally shell shocked in the first game.

    I actually wouldn't mind Amundson on our team as an 11th or 12th man. I like his hustle and grit. He's one of those annoying players that gets underneath the skin of another team.

    Hey if Duncan is Healthy and Manu can stay Healthy then they are a very good team. With A Gimpy Duncan, and No Manu they are still a decent team.

    On our series.. were we shell shocked when we rolled over in Game 6 too?

    Shaq was 3rd team All-NBA last year... NBA head coaches are the voters. I think he's a fatass, but it's obvious he still can still play very well.

    Shaq and Kobe's race for a thumb ring will be a major theme of the league's marketing. Oh joy!

    I just don't understand this, Shaq clogs up the paint, LeBron drives to the paint, this is either gonna give LeBron a jumper or kill the Cavs
