Nice start by the Warriors

Watching the Heat-Bulls series only confirms that Buss/Kupchak and the Lakers did ONE smart thing and that was deciding Shaquille O'Neal was nearing his last legs.
Sure, Shaq came away with an extra ring, but his performance in last year's playoffs was uneven at best and, in the Finals, he was absolutely horrid. He was carried to a title by Dwyane Wade, who he allowed to grab the spotlight for one big reason: Shaq wanted to show the media he was willing share the spotlight.
But, if you believe he was willing to ever SHARE (not even give, but SHARE) the spotlight with Bryant, then I have a bridge to sell you.

This season, with D-Wade gimpy, Shaq can't even get his team out of the first round against a team that didn't even win 50 games this season (the Bulls were 49-33). MDE?? No. Not any more. Shaq may have fooled the media with his funny demeanor and ability to make every journalist feel like they were his buddy (who doesn't wanna be Shaq's buddy?), but it's pretty obvious now that if he had stayed with the Lakers, it would've been an utter disaster. After all, the Lakers are playing probably the second best team in the NBA (Phoenix) and won't suffer the indignity of being swept.

Bye Shaq. Don't let the broom hit you in the ass on your way out to shine D-Wade's ring.

Remember, the heat's motto of "15 strong" or whatever the hell included the three refs plus the 12-man roster.

And fuck Shaq. Fuck him right in the ear. Hope Miami enjoys paying him for 15 and 8 a night.

That a self-portrait Rok?

Piotr Rasputin · Apr 27, 2007

That is a good likeness of you, Rok . . . what, no proveably, demonstrably hot chicks in your photos?

Hey, it's been a day. Phoenix change their uniform colors again yet?

Elliotte Friedman · Apr 27, 2007

Went to Raptors-Nets tonight. What a choke job by Toronto. Just brutal. Never in it.

Kidd is God, but Carter makes me ill. On the road, he never goes near the hoop. Suddenly, at home, he's Captain Fearless.

Not against the Bulls, and especially these Bulls. They are a nightmare matchup for the Heat, worse than anyone else in the east, including DET

A lot of teams in the East proved to be a nightmare matchup for the No. 6 seeded Heat this season.

Keep in mind, the Bulls took three of four from the Pistons. And Detroit's one win came on a Chris Webber over-the-back no-call.
