WTF is up with the "Hack a Shaq"

[peskypesky]

I already stated that D'antonio's an idiot but just the fact that tactics had to used disgusts me! Btw, he didn't take him out last night and the Spurs constantly used it. So getting shaq out the game was not the objective.

wah wah wah

keep crying you little baby

You expect inferior teams to do like that. After all that is their best chance to win. You wouldn't expect a 4 time NBA champion to have to stoop so low to win. You would think that they could win without any tactics. Just goes to show, times a changing!

Maybe Shaq should just quit being the lazy fat-ass he is and learn to shoot some ing freethrows. Its obvious that he has issues with work ethic and lack of commitment to winning and his team, considering 3 superstars that he has played with have all called him out for the exact same reasons. Shaq is the biggest in NBA history. Destroyed 3 le contending teams and lost out on opportunities to win several more rings because of his complete selfishness.

[LakeShow]

Do you really? Then what the were these?





Beautiful sign of respect, to someone that was nothing but respectful in expressing his opinion of the Hack-a-Shaq move the other night.

You fail. Miserably.

We have some dumb Rockets fans/trolls around here, but you are by far, the worst.

STFU, Inchworm! Go back to sucking that punk ass Dirkies !

I don't know, but I think the spurs care more about winning than some whiny laker fan's respect.

[peskypesky]

Championships are remembered. Whining isn't. Spurs are playing for the history books.

actually i dont think anyone cares about that whiny laker fans respect, period. we should pe ion to have him pinked.

[LakeShow]

I guess it applies to some rocket fans too?

Or better yet, go get yourself a drink

There is nothing worse than warm, flat beer. It's like drinking pube sweat... utterly disgusting.

Are you experienced at that?

all we have to do is look at this thread, and see the countless number of ways you have owned yourself, as opposed to digging around for old threads that consisted of jokes.

fail.

I don't like seeing it, but sometimes you have to just accept it in order to get wins. Sometimes the ends justifies the means. I didn't expect it from Pop. And, even more so, I didn't expect him to use it in the manner he's used it, trailing by so much early on in the fourth quarter of game 1 and then using it in the third quarter when up. Like I said, I don't like it as a fan of the NBA, and I wouldn't like it if I were a Spurs fan. But, I wouldn't be one to complain either if I were a Spurs fan when my team is up 2-0 in the series. I respect Pop a lot and I know a big part of the reason is that he just wants to get every possible advantage to win the game. It's just icing on the cake that D'Antoni looks stupid in the process. But, yeah, I really don't like how Pop has used it so far in this series.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

The obsession with the Spurs by some of you Lakers fans in here is just off the ing charts.

[cash459]

just point Lakeshow in the direction of his fellow laker fan's (DAC) wonderful thread...

The KFC thread......... thats the kind of logice that is coming from him.

And so what phil hasnt done it as a laker coach. botom line: he HAS done it, so if he has done it, that doesnt make him any better than pop for doing it. Get over yourself, and your team y'all havent won yet. and take off your purple & gold glasses whiel youre at it

Nothing that you pull up on me will ever top your admitting that you drink PUBE SWEAT! Sick bas !

if thats the way you feel then fine. We still won the game so I do not care. If you watched the game and thats all you saw last night, then you are blinded by your Spurs hate. Tim, Tony and Manu have been unbelieavable so far. No little hack-a-shaq argument can take away the way they have been performing.

You probably win without. But the world will never know.

Son, the 55 in my handle tells the year I was born, 1955. I've been a Laker fan since the 60's. I use the same handle at the Laker board at MSN/Fox Sports. We have our own private forum there with TRUE Laker fans, not the kind that troll all over the internet posting how great the Lakers are and how all other teams suck. The Lakers are the greatest franchise in NBA history, but let me tell you something, San Antonio is becoming one of the elite clubs too, right before your eyes! They are very capable of emerging from the west this year and beating the east. Lots of teams have motivation this season, but not sure if any unit has more than they do. Remember, they need that back-to-back to quell the doubters. The fact this is the toughest year possible to do it will prove to be a benefit to whatever team recognizes that and performs accordingly.


Well, you obviously have no clue as to why it was brilliant, so let me enlighten you....Ok, 4th quarter, Shaq is in foul trouble. Set aside the fact that Phoenix built their big lead without him, he's due to come back. Now, logic says, drive on him to the basket. Either he yields to a layup or fouls out. Surprise, surprise, "Hack-A-Shaq" starts! Now, I have seen this strategy employed countless times. Shaq usually does tend to hit enough of them to thwart it. 50% is within his reach which will give his team about as many points as they would hit shooting field goals. It does extend the game a bit, as less time ticks off the clock. So, the objective of Hack-A-Shaq is to hope he misses more than half, and to get more offensive possesions.

Now, the "Hack-A-Shaq" looked really good when D'Antoni took Shaq out of the game. This was a huge psychological blow dealt to the Phoenix coach and team. This sends the message that D'Antoni doesn't have the confidence in Shaq to ride it out, that he doesn't believe in him. Any Phoenix player may soon wonder if their coach will suddenly not believe in them.

Notice how in game two, Popovich tried the "Hack-A-Shaq" trick when the Spurs were leading. Nice test as to how Phoenix will react. Well, Shaq did his part, he started hitting his free throws as he often does. He even shrugged at the camera as if to say, "I can beat the Hack-A-Shaq, why do they bother". Notice how D'Antoni left him in the game this time. This shows he made the right move now, but more importantly shows he blundered the first game by benching Shaq.

Anyway, I will live and die a Laker fan. I know my team can't win every year, but they always rebuild and return. I am a basketball fan first. Without this game no one could be a fan of any team. LakeShow, don't be a troll here. I haven't looked at any of your posts, but check mine. I am respectful to my hosts here, which are mostly Spurs fans. They vastly outnumber us, but I have found they will respect you if you behave yourself and contribute interesting stuff. Be respectful in return, thanks. Then you won't have your ass handed to you.

Spurs friends: How often do you see Laker fans fight each other on this board? lol.

Classy Laker fan unlike LakeShow. I have some friends in LA and they hate us and they sound like LakeShow. Lakers 55 keep owning your own, im enjoying it !!

[LakeShow]

show me where I said I drink pube sweat.

Inchworm, to compare drinking flat warm beer to drinking pube sweat is saying that you've dranked both!

[spursfan09]

You probably win without. But the world will never know.

What if we don't? What if we are down 0-2. I guarantee no fans will be saying "oh well it would of been unethical or cheating to be using the hack-a-shaq tactic to win these games" They would be saying why wasn't this tactic used. Anyways this is my opinion. YOu have yours and thats fine. I am just glad Spurs are up 2 games.
