My favorite 'Shaq being huge' moment was when Stackhouse pushed him into the photographers mid-air, and then he frantically stumbled around like a giant trying to get up.

not only his toughness, but he brings --every game-- what we praised our guys for bringing against the Lakers.

True. True.

Shaq is playing well.

Ah, i have to search for that on the internet. I only can remember Stack hitting someone big time and it was an important game.

shaq was pushing down all the rockets players like dominoes!

DOMINATOR · 11-13-2008, 01:18 AM

lol @ shaq just knockin everyone down.
suns were horrible. nice to see tmac hit shots and move without the ball.
oh yeah... Brooks baby!!! rebounding over big men and blocking grant hill.

Flacolaco · 11-13-2008, 01:29 AM

A fight??? Ah dammit I missed all the fun tonight. Stupid wife...

Flacolaco · 11-13-2008, 01:30 AM

What's up with this: Chris Paul, 30 points, 13 assists...NO scores 86?

Lakers completely shut down the whole Hornets team besides CP3 and West. Kind of cuts against the whole "Lakers' defensive tactic is to shut down the other team's best player" we heard last night.

rabbitproof · 11-13-2008, 02:10 AM

LOL Shaq

He's just like tmac... SHOVE
yao... SHOVE
alston... SHOVE

all the while wobbling and walking like knee-stiff godzilla or some shit.

Who would've thought he would be a ROY candidate? Especially over Oden lol? Its not even fair how good the Blazers have been drafting.

Just think of how crazy it makes the Suns fans to see him. They sold him to the Blazers in order to get rid of James Jones' contract.

fluid.forty.one · 11-13-2008, 05:16 PM

Actually, I think he had 25 points

He's turning out to be my best value pick in the fantasy draft.

Maybe they simply use different tactics for different teams....

Just think of how good the Suns could have been if Sarver weren't an idiot...

Joe Johnson
Shawn Marion
Amare
Rudy
Steve Nash

I'm not sure how all the draft picks they traded away worked out, but they also had a shot at Luol Deng that they traded away. They could have been scary good for the next five years.

Same here. I picked him up in the last round or two of my draft on an inkling that that great performance in the olympics wasn't a fluke, and I have been richly rewarded so far.

Yeah, I've subscribed to this sports pack from my cable provider.

However, I could not make it work when I tried it during the free preview period. I couldn't understand why it would it say that it isn't available in my area (when I'm in Canada).

GuerillaBlack · 11-14-2008, 12:25 AM

Shaq clearing house (I laughed hard):

One by one by four.

Shaq pushes Yao down with one hand and it takes Yao 10 minutes to get up.

BGMaverick9 · 11-14-2008, 12:28 AM

Yao just looked silly when he fell down. A big tree that slowly got chopped down and the anticipation mounts and leads to nothing.

It would be funny to see something like that happen again and someone gets blindly shoved by Shaq and they dunno who pushed them and they get all "juiced up" and angry and then they see it was Shaq and then suddenly go into "My Bad!" mode.

I don't think you even need an IQ test. Considering he chose an intellectual like Antoine Walker as his screen name, I would say the 165+ IQ score got confirmed right there.

Add Rajon Rondo to that list.

Windmill360 · 11-14-2008, 02:53 PM

well based on what I saw I don't see how mcgrady and shaq didn't deserve suspensions as well.

T-Mac probably does deserve one as well. I guess the case could possibly be made that Shaq was just trying to break up the fight by pushing people out of the way (I'm not sure I really believe that though).

fluid.forty.one · 11-14-2008, 03:05 PM

"No word on whether Ron Artest was given a shiny gold sticker for good behavior."

lol

jthig32 · 11-14-2008, 03:17 PM

I thought Nash deserved as many games as the others if not more. It was just a jawing/clutching match until Nash came rushing into the pile and esacalated things. If Artest dose exactly what Nash does he gets way more than one game.

DOMINATOR · 11-14-2008, 03:25 PM

why werent the refs fined. such.
should be: barnes, rafer - 1 game
shaq, tmac, nash - fined

I agree, the NBA has always been hard on the people that escalated fights, and Nash definitely kicked it up a notch when he came flying in out of nowhere to try to push Alston or whatever he was trying to do. So Nash definitely deserved at least a game.
