The real test (for Shaq, the team and its fans) comes during the offseason (how the Cactus' conditioning and weight control hold up). Although it will be interesting to see how digests a new coach if Mike is moved. It will also be of note to watch Shaq and his attitude and health thru the rigors of ANOTHER 82 game season. Its already a given that he wont play all 82 games. He might be hard-pressed to participate in even 45 at his age/condition. This isnt hateraid seeping outwards, this is just fact.
But im waiting...........actually counting down to when the first salvo/jab is launched because you can bet your a$$ someone with a microphone, a recorder and a pen and pad will illicit comment from Shaq on this team's failure in this season's postseason. He might be candid.......and you may not like what you hear. But im betting it will come........very soon.
