    Shaq to Dallas?

    Not making the playoffs, losing out on potential postseason ticket sales and putting the franchise into a slightly worse financial situation. Better?

    Shaq to Dallas?

    And I bet if we hadn't traded Marion for Shaq, we'd be in the playoffs.

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Now you're just being ridiculous. You really want me to come up with a game where over 50% of the scoring came as a result of Shaq not coming out to defend the pick and roll? That's a ludicrous demand. What I gave you is a great example of how Shaq's refusal to come out and guard the ballhandler...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    I gave you a GREAT example. Did you watch game 3 last April? Shaq refused to come out and defend Parker after Nash was picked on numerous occasions. It resulted in Parker pouring in points on uncontested jumpers. You want proof that I'm not "twisting the facts"? Pay for the game on nba.com and...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Oh please, now you're either being facetious or you're twisting semantics to make it appear as though you're right - you're not. Did I really have to include "then the screener rolls to the basket, the screened defender follows and the guy who's supposed to come out to defend the ballhandler...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Umm, not necessarily. Often the ballhandler shoots a jumpshot on a pick and roll if the defender doesn't come out to contest him. No assist there. The Spurs killed us in the 1st round of the playoffs last season with the pick n roll, as Tony Parker hit uncontested jump shot after uncontested...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Why would any team want to take it into the paint on Shaq when all they have to do is run a pick n roll against him for 10-15 foot uncontested jumpers all game long? :shrug:

    Use One Word To Describe This Season's Suns Team

    Defense in basketball is more a mentality and effort than it is natural talent and/or ability. Jason Richardson is light years ahead of Shane Battier from an athletic standpoint. It stands to reason he'd be the better defender, right? I'm not saying this is a team that could have been mistaken...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Offensively he's still a top 10 center. On the other end of the floor, it's :barf:. I would rank Shaq somewhere in the 10-15 range, largely because the league is suffering from a lack of talent at center and has been for about the last 7 years now. We all know offense isn't the problem for...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Correction. Used to. Not anymore. I don't have any beef with the guy, other than he's being overpaid for what he brings to the table.

    Shaq to Dallas?

    It hasn't just been on the Suns - Shaq hasn't defended the pick n roll since he got fat and happy in LA. Difference is, his offensive impact isn't great enough to offset that anymore.

    Agree to disagree. I think this team had the talent to play better defense, but flat out refused to do so. There's a reason why Porter didn't last the season, and it's because this team turned their back on him when he tried to instill a defensive philosophy. Read player quotes from the first...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Bad? Shaq hasn't just been bad at guarding pick and rolls, he flat out refuses to try, allowing the ballhandler to shoot uncontested jump shots on virtually every pick and roll. It's one of the main reasons we're near dead last in opponent field goal percentage. His offensive contributions are...

    Shaq to Dallas?

    Good riddance, Shaq. With him gone, hopefully we can pick up a center that will make an attempt to guard even the simplest of pick and rolls.

    Manu Ginobili out for rest of season. (Including playoffs)

    Please tell me Duncan just completely slipped your mind when you thought up that statement.

    Sure there were a couple of guys, but a few guys does not a team make. This is a team that gave up on Porter the minute he tried to apply a defensive philosophy, resulting in his release for an interim coach that let's the inmates run the asylum. This is a team that can't muster up any defensive...

    Robin Lopez will never be good

    One of the deepest drafts in recent memory, and we took a guy with minimum potential. Ugghhhh!

    It's not an insult when the intent behind it is meant to be comedic; whether you personally found it funny or not is irrelevant.

    Why did we trade for J-Rich?

    We traded for him because he's got excellent driving skills... err... I guess that word is kinda taboo right now when it comes to J-Rich.
