BROOMSHAQALAKA !!
Like I said enjoy this one then. I got turned off from a spurs game for the first time in my history of watching them play, outside of Rodman's quitting on the team. I've always supported what the Spurs did as a team win or lose.
I am a Spurs fan because of how they play the game the right way. And tonight was a setback for that. It's not like the Spurs to shy away from the other teams best punch. Tonight they did just that.

BROOMSHAQALAKA !!
Props to a Spurs fan who has balls to admit that this hack a shaq is unnecessary and hurts the integrity of the game. What's even more pathetic is to hear Spurs fans say, Shaq can't make free throws, blah, blah, blah. Shaq never could make free throws! Why didn't you do it back in the day when shaq was winning les? Why wait until Shaq is old, past his prime and a mirror image of hisself? Trying to embarrass an old man that in his prime gave you so much grief gives you that much satisfaction? My suggestion is that you seek help!
It shows that the Spurs organization is one of the classless organization of all time. I personally hope that the Spurs never win another le!
Go yourself troll. The Spurs are the classiest org in the league bar none. The fact that this action was so out of character for the Spurs is why it's noteworthy. For every other team in the L it's business as usual.
Why myself when i can your mother! The Spurs will go down as the most whiniest, classless organization ever to win a le. That is all, Im Done!!
I have mixed feelings about the strat, but winning cures alot of the bad ones.
dear heaven almighty end this thread
Hurts the integrity of the game?
LMAO
Its not like the spurs have unlimited fouls. Its not like this isn't almost handing any competent player points at a far better percentage than they could ever hope for from regular offense. Its the fact that Shaq is so HORRIBLE. This happens to very few horrible free throwers. Who can improve to such a reasonable percentage and give themselves a huge advantadge.
the ing. Learn to shoot free throws or suffer the consequences.
I mean , late in a game the Spurs shouldn't even foul to stop the clock. They should prove their manhood by getting a steal, LDO.
Hack-a-Shaq is not ridiculous. Shaq getting paid 20 mil per, getting fat over the summer, not practicing on his game (has he EVER? He's had one damn move his entire career!), and then having the media back his ass up like it's the Spurs fault he can't hit a free throw is what is ridiculous.
Piss off !!
Maybe get some spelling and grammar lessons too.
He is a mirror image of hisself?
One of the classless organization?
Lots of hurt butts in this thread.
Someone's scared.
hack a shaq is a great strategy

shaq's probably the most overatted player in history. Seriously.
He spend the first part of his carrer relying on his powerfull body, getting away with travelings and elbowing on every other possession.
He never has or tried to develop any real post up game or any decent shoot.
Think about all the greats (Russell, Chamberlain, Olajuwon, Ewing, Duncan...). They all had 2 or 3 signature moves they could rely on. They actually had fundamentals and a real big man game.
You remember Hakeem's incredible moves, Ewing's midrange or reverse JS, Duncan's incredible fundamentals but what will you remember of O'Neal ?
A beast that scored half his point by dunking the ball... and that's about it.
I mean, it's fine in terms of efficiency. But if you wanna talk about pure BB, about talent, Shaq doesn't belong to this class of guys IMO.
You don't to use Shaq's game to teach young players how to play BB.
And now that his body doesn't carry him anymore, he's exposed.
Add his ego to this and the fact that he's somehow a bandwagoner (4 differents teams)...

As an added wrinkle this series, Popovich has been fouling O'Neal away from the ball and sending him to the free-throw line. Nash said the constant stops affected his rhythm on a night he took only eight shots and made three (plus a technical free throw) for seven points.
"I felt like an outsider," Nash said.
its not just the potential lost points for the suns that pop was counting on.... more importantly, it pretty much messed up the suns' rhythm. nash pretty much admitted to that. strategy, mr watson, strategy.
lawls shaq
Shaq is irrelevant in this series. Pop trying to get a few stops with the clock stopped. Notice how Duncan is resting on the bench while this is going on. Oh, and by the way, Shaq will always clank FT's----might as well get into his head and slow the game down at the same time. All he has to do is hit about 4-6 in a row for the strategy not to work.
Yea, they most likely could have gutted out the victory in this series without it. But they have toyed with Suns mentally, destroying a "great teams" confidence with it ON THE WAY TO A SWEEP with it.
I do admit, "Hack a Shaq" does show weakness. It exposes the weak minded macho pricks like Stephen Asshole Smith, whining like little girls because the big bad Spurs resort to exploiting poor little Shaq with his known weakness.
Don't pull the homer crap. It is real simple, dimwit. If any team sends fouls another on purpose to exploit a freethrow weakness and he misses, it is great strategy.No I am remembering 2006 when AJ used hack a Bowen during a crucial stretch against the Spurs that might have cost us the le.
But I guess it's a great strategy....When the Spurs do it
Must the sons have all the rules changed just to cover up their shortcomings?
Or trying to rap, or trying to be a sherrif, or pimpin his ride. Big dumb oaf needs to practice. All the spurs are doing are showing that shaq is a liability and not a DUNCAN STOPPER. Pop's playing chess and he is damn good.
You must have missed the Spurs - Suns playoff series last season.
At first, it kind of annoyed me, BUT...if it's legal and it works, why not? It's no different than any other play teams come up with.
The other thing - This has been a problem for Shaq forever. Maybe if he actually tried to, oh I don't know, I-M-P-R-O-V-E on his free throw shooting, this wouldn't be an issue.
