Shaq + Artest = Failure.

[riDIRKulous]

Does Pho fans really think the addition of a fat and broken Shaq and the possible addition of the NBAs biggest nut job would make their team a contender?

What is Kerr thinking? That team couldn't hang with the Mavs, would get beat down in 5 or 6, and probably couldn't handle the Spurs. They might even get beaten down by the Lakers.

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

I agree. But I'm thinking that Shaq+Amare is going to equal failure anyway. Looks great on paper, but I bet Stoudemire is bitching about touches after a week.

i wouldn't want to have artest on my team.

his behavior is too unpredictable.

in the playoffs, i'd be hoping he doesn't do anything stupid between games that's going to cost his team.
