Suns vs Spurs

It would appear that the whole, "Shaq getting the Suns over the hump" theory is going very well with 9:00 minutes to go in the third quarter and the Suns down 16 and 2-0 in the series. He just doesn't fit in that system very well. They are getting killed on the pick and roll.

That's the Suns window of opportunity slamming shut that you hear.

They're going to have to tear that whole team down and rebuild it around Stoudemire, it looks like.

I thought that was a terrible trade to begin with... You don't put a 300 pounder in a run and gun offense it just doesn't make sense to begin with! I really think it would be awesome to see Dwight and Amare on the same team.... I think that would be about impossible to pull off though!

Tony Parker may not be as athletic and throw down crazy dunks like some of the superstars in the NBA, but man, he is fun to watch!

Yeah...of the three big trades in the west, this one just didn't make sense at all. Gasol worked out well in LA, the jury is still out on Kidd/Mavs, and the Shaq trade was just silly...made out of desparation me thinks...
