To his defense, its his first game in a long time and hes getting used to the team.
Hopefully he is slow and old. If he is that takes 1 contender out of the way and the only one to sweat is the lakers.
And i was someone who thought this might improve the suns...i might have been wrong.
He looks very slow and out of shape, not to mention he looks lost out there.
Every time the suns try and run he stops at about half court, if the suns dont score they end up playing 4 on 5 or have to wait for him to get back haha....wow

its the first quarter of his first game....
and this is only the first quarter, imagine how he'll be by the fourth
dude... he just came off the IR....WTF?
Well at least he can still dunk...
The Lakers have just been isoing to one side, taking Shaq to the other, and letting Gasol destroy Diaw.
Shaq is no help defender any more, far too slow.
If true have Kurt Thomas stand about 18 feet out and or duncan, and Parker goes to teh hole at will.![]()
Hubie wondered when they were going to double team shaq....unless Derek Fisher is guarding him, probably never.
When everything else fails there's always hack-a-shaq
Chill out it's his 1st game since December. He's rusty, give him 10 games.
4 pts 1-3 FG in 1st half
UPDATE: "Everything Stephen A. says is IMPORTANT!!"
The Shaq trade was a horrible one since he fits so poorly with the Suns' up tempo style at this stage of his career. I think this trade will go down as a poor one with the Suns missing Marion a great deal more than they thought.
Goodness gracious that beard on Gaol is horrid!
Shaq also looks motivated.
I think you mean Gasol looks terrible.
God he's soft. Good thing for the Lakers Kobe has enough balls for the both of them.![]()
Actually, Shaq has looked pretty solid so far. Made some good rebounds, providing toughness in the paint, and his presense is allowing Amare to float in and get key offensive rebounds. And Shaq's passing has been solid as well.
Give him a month, and he'll fit in very well with Phoenix. I just hope the Lakers can win this game, and avoid Phoenix in the playoffs.
Why must Gasol yell every time he takes a shot? Does he think it's tennis?
i actually think he'll work in their offense alright. i think d'antoni was right about that.
the problem is that amare + shaq may be the worst defensive front line in the entire league.
1st game back, 1st game with a new team...give it some more time.
Shaq's really killing the Suns offense...they are only going to score 120 points or so tonight.
Yeah Shaq looks good in the second half.
What a shot by Kobe.
It looks like you can run on the Suns alot easier than before.
Gasol and the Lakers just scored VERY easily off the break.
do any of you dip s know anything about basketball?
Another big shot by Shaq. The Suns now have a true low post option when the game grinds down to half court execution.
