Ballin’: At what point will Suns fans resent Shaq?
NBA March 2nd. 2008, 1:45pm
76ers 119, Suns 114
Andre Iguodala scored 32 points, and the 76ers held on to beat the Suns in Phoenix for the first time in 6 years. Andre Miller added 25 and 12 assists and 5 other 76ers reached double digits. Shaq finished with just 8 points and 7 rebounds in 25+ minutess. Amare Stoudemire finished with 26 points and 11 boards.
Magic 118, Knicks 92
Dwight Howard scored 26, Hedo Turkoglu scored 25 and Rashard Lewis threw in 22 leading the Magic to a 38-23 record. Dwight Howard also tallied 22 rebounds because he’s a flesh-eating monster.
Jazz 113, Grizzlies 92
Carlos Boozer led the way for the Jazz with 18 points and 6 other teammates scored double digits as the Jazz improved their porous road record to 13-19. Derron Williams finished with 19 assists and for the Grizzlies, Hakim Warrick scored 17 points and 13 rebounds.Â
Spurs 96, Bucks 94
Days after cinching a victory over the Cavs with a last second 3, Michael Redd couldn’t convert two late free throw attempts to force overtime against the Spurs. Manu Ginobili scored 30 points and Tony Parker dropped 26 to give San Antonio its 8th straight victory.
Pistons 103, Clippers 73
Tayshaun Prince scored 22 and had 10 assists in the Pistons’ route of the Clippers. Corey Maggette scored 22 for the Clippers. At this stage of the season, the Pistons and Spurs have turned it up a notch – as they seemingly do every year at this time.

26 points and 22 boards is just another average night for the young moses malone. i hope you watched this game Mr TBL.
shaq is really turning things around in Phoenix, great to see Bill Walton right for once.

I already resent Shaq and I was for this trade. I don’t know if we’re going to make the playoffs now. Nobody knows what they’re doing on the court anymore.
Sigh, Shaq has secured his legacy and so have the Suns.

Is the problem Shaq or is it the mindset of the other guys on the team? I think when you have a big guy like Shaq, who has been a dominant force for his entire career, it’s hard to get out of the mindframe of ‘dump it in to the big guy’ every time down. The Suns should just play the way they always do, and don’t worry about Shaq ‘getting his’. He was brought in to play defense, not be the leading scorer on the team.

I’m astounded that people who actually follow the NBA (I’m not one of these people) thought so highly of trading for Shaq. To me, this acquisition was roughly the basketball equivalent of Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees last summer. Then again, I don’t watch the NBA…

The412 you’re very spot on with this. Major media talking heads who openly questioned the trade on day one were singing a different tune on day two. Michael Wilbon being the most prominent. Shaq seems to carry a huge amount of clout with the media. It’s the only reason this move wasn’t completely lambasted. Kerr has completely ruined one of the most exciting franchises in sports in the last 10 years.

Like I said when the trade happened: this is horrible for the Suns. It’s as simple as one fact: Shaq cannot play. He is no longer even remotely serviceable, and hasn’t been for going on 2 years in Miami.
