All you have to do is up the tempo against the Heat and keep it up while Shaq is on the floor and he will ask for relief, start walking only 3/4 court like Kareem did at that age, or at the very best start coming up short on his shots and lose mobility on defense.

Shaq is no longer a factor as a starter who is supposed to play 30 minutes a game effectively.

Shaq would be more effective at this time in his career if he came off of the bench for 15 - 20 minutes a game.

Ego would get in the way of that...

Nov 1 is my BDay, and I will be in chat. I just don't know for sure I will have the game on TV. The schedule trending towards Fox Sports Net really sucks for Canadians.

About a dozen or so games will be on the new HD channel if you get that and have a HD tv.

We don't get American cable or satellite here. Do they broadcast HD over the air? I know the major media stations in Detroit do.

I don't know but that I believe that channed is owned by Fox Sports, their HD version. I don't even have an HD tv so I will be out of luck as well for those games.

Why wouldn't you be able to see the HD games, max? On my cable system, whenever a station has an HD version as well as a standard-def version, they come in on two completely different channels. My system doesn't have the Comcast Sports Net HD channel that shows Wizards games locally in HD, but I still get all of them on the standard-def version of that channel.

I must admit that if I had only one game tonight that I could watch I am not so sure that I would watch the Pistons - Heat game rather than the Suns - Durant show especially since it is the home opener for the Sonics.

It would be a tough choice. I think that the Suns - Durant show will be more entertaining. Durant had 18 last night on the road. 30 + tonight? I wouldn't bet against it.

Afflalo to start out the Season..

Quote:

Detroit starting shooting guard Richard Hamilton will not be playing in tonight's opener against Miami so he can tend to a family situation involving his child. As of right now, Hamilton is considered probable for Friday's game against Orlando.
In Hamilton's place, rookie Arron Afflalo will be making his first NBA start.

No AJ,
No Rip
No Hot Rod

What a way to start the season.

Now, for sure I would rather watch the Suns - Durant show.
