shaq earns 20m a season, doesnt hurt his earnings to go out hire a ft shootin coach.
I'm getting sick of this hack a shaq BS. Honestly, it's been played out....And I agree the rules need to be changed if any nba team can use a deficiency of one great player to dominate all the momentum.
It's unreal that Spurs fans are advocating so hard for doing this. I loved it in choice moments in the first game but this is just ridiculous...It's bad for the game to make hack-an-anybody a go to defensive mode. This might just ruin what was an epic series for me.
The Spurs have always been about winning the right way. That is how it should be, not like this.

Bring it . At least I'm a fan of the game, it takes serious homer glasses to enjoy a team winning via hack a shaq.
Pop is making this a mental game.
Poor Shaq. Can't defend the pick 'n roll. Can't shoot free throws. Major exploitation!
I'm a fan of the game. Shaq embodies everything that's wrong with the American game. Get big, strong, and you don't have to have in the way of fundamentals.
And then you get owned with something braindead like Hack-a-Shaq. happens. Learn how to shoot.
Who gives a ? Hack a Shaq is not the reason why the sons are losing.
I would have liked to see the Spurs play this game without relying on hacking Shaq at any point in this game. It's insulting to think the Spurs couldn't have gutted out the victory without it.
The league can't change it now, not after all the history with it.
If one player at the NBA level making OVER 20 MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR shoots free throws worse than your AVERAGE high school player, -THAT- is the BS, my friend.
It is a travesty that Shaq won 4 les in this league simply because he was bigger than everyone else and could throw elbows and dunk.
If Shaq was even 6'5", he never would have made it to a D-I college school, let alone the NBA.
THAT is the disgrace.
If Snaq can't hit his god damn free throws, he deserves to be exploited.
What are you talking about? The Spurs have been leading this whole game. They went with that strategy when they were up. And it actually brought the sons closer.
My point is before this series, hack a snaq wasn't even an after thought. So why now? Why make the change for just one player?
Must the sons have all the rules changed just to cover up their shortcomings?
Making Shaq shoot free throws is the equivalent of forcing a guy to go left when he can only dribble with his right hand. It's his job to fix his weakness, not your job to be nice.
deSPURado, I don't think you'll find many people who give a . Humiliate the guy. He spends most of his time throwing cheap elbows and over accentuating fouls so that he can throw his arms around. I have no sympathy for him. This doesn't taint a thing for me.
1 qtr to go.
Shut the up and enjoy the beauty of Parkers game tonight.
Parker is a straight pimp.
He's gettin blown tonight.
And that is completely missing just how good Shaq actually was. He was athletic enough to put that body to good use. I can't believe I am defending this asshole to spurs fans, but wtf? Hatred sometimes begets begrudging respect, and you had to respect Shaq's shoulder lowering game.
But this might be Shaq's last good run at the ship, and I will respect the nemesis that lead to such heartbreak for the Spurs for so many years.
That is the full answer to this thread. To win basketball games, you have to be and play smart. That's what fouling Shaq is. Make him shoot 2 shots, which usually he'll make 1. Stragegy.
respect for Shaq. Trust me, he'd have no respect for you.
He respects nothing but the paycheck and the celebrity. Nothing more. Hack his fat ass all god damn game if he can't make his ing throws.
just shut the up already...
I don't see any thing wrong exploring a player's weakness...
so he sucks at FT and we can't send him to the line?
WTF is wrong with you
Playing defense takes effort, Otherwise everyone would magically be able to force Manu to go right. Hack a Shaq takes zero energy and effort. It's BS. It's like cheering for the special olympic kid to make his free throws.
It isn't tainted for me because the Spurs would have won anyways the way they were playing, but now we are robbed of the opportunity to have the proof of that.
As fans of the game we are seeing a gimmick being used as a go to defense. It's ridiculous and insulting. And it sure as isn't in the spirit of the game. Nor is it winning the right way.
*sniff sniff*
Do you cry everytime the coach of your favorite baseball team calls for an intentional walk to get to a batter who's in a slump? Do you hang your head in shame everytime the coach of your favorite football team tells his QB to keep picking on the CB who has already given up 110 yards and 2 TD's?
Didn't think so.
Same concept here. Use their weakness as an advantage.
Shaq's had an entire NBA career to improve his free throws. Blame him, not the Spurs.
Winning is the right way. If Snaq is too much of a dip to improve his free throw shooting, he deserves to be exploited like a porno skank in a gangbang.
The Spurs aren't breaking any rules. Simple as that. If you don't like watching the Spurs win, I'm sure arizonasportsfans.com could use another cryer on their board.
why penalize a team for exploiting a weakness on the other team. what next, penalize teams that can score in the paint because the other team can't hit layups? shaq needs to become a better free throw shooter.
Baseball deserves no mention with basketball. The game has been so tainted by the use of steroids that it's ruined the nature of the sport.
Hacking Shaq is a poor subs ute for good team defense.
