| Re: The Big Cactus I think everyone who supported the trade for Phoenix was/is somehow convincing themselves that the Suns were getting the Shaq of two years ago, when the Heat won the title. He wasn't what he was with the Lakers, of course, but he could still dominate one or two games in a playoff series, like when he had 28 pts and 16 boards in Game 6 when the Heat finished off the Pistons in the ECF.
But he can't do that AT ALL anymore, as anyone who's had their eyes open for the last year and a half can recognize. There's certainly no way he can contribute at that level at any point against any elite team. |
