Spurs notebook: O'Neal says he 'ain't changing nothing'

Suns center Shaquille O'Neal won't be adjusting his style of play in hopes of avoiding the early foul trouble that limited him to 30 minutes and 20 seconds in Saturday's double-overtime Game 1 of the Spurs-Suns Western Conference first-round series.
"I ain't changing nothing," O'Neal said Sunday morning. "I've got 700 days left (on his contract), and I ain't changing a (expletive) thing. Screw that. I got four (rings) doing it my way, and I'm going to continue doing it my way."
O'Neal was still angry Sunday that he had been called for three offensive fouls on what he said were "flops" by Spurs players. He praised the physical inside play of Spurs power forward Tim Duncan, then promised he would not resort to flopping in hopes of drawing fouls on the Spurs' star.
"He got a lot of points," O'Neal said, "but I was on the bench a lot yesterday. But he's going to do the same thing: Jump hook, fade, jump hook. He has all the moves on both blocks, but I've seen them before. And I'll be there. But I'm going to play him like a man, though. Not falling like I just got (expletive) shot. None of that bull. That's how you're supposed to play.
"That (flopping) is some bull. Then you all write like these (expletive) guys can play. Give me a (expletive) break."
Aches and pains: The medical report on Spurs point guard Tony Parker's sore head on Sunday: Nothing to report.
A team spokesman declared Parker was feeling fine by Sunday afternoon after he had complained of impaired vision and a pounding headache after he was accidentally struck near the left temple by Amare Stoudemire's knee as he dove for a loose ball on the first play of Saturday's game.
Despite his discomfort, Parker played 51 minutes, 28 seconds. He sported a visible lump on his head afterwards.
Meanwhile, Parker's Phoenix counterpart, Steve Nash, said he was feeling better after playing Saturday's game with flu-like symptoms. Having to play two overtime periods, he said, was not what the Suns' team doctors ordered.
"I was sick yesterday, so that was tough," Nash said. "But I feel pretty good today, and by Tuesday, I think I'll be all right."
Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said forward Grant Hill, battling a sore groin, reported feeling better Sunday after experiencing a lot of discomfort during Game 1.

let his fatass get in foul trouble again. Of course he isnt gonna change his style, the only way he can get to the basket is lowering those fat shoulders and elbowing people in the face.
wow. He just keeps talking.
ROFL. He's counting down the # of days until he can get out of Phoenix.
LOL Spurs are inside Snaq's head. So much talk after game one.
I hope he does. That would be about the best thing to happen, since it appears the Spurs are more likely to take advantage of the early foul trouble he'll bring on himself.
(expletive) Shaq.
That's some though. I hope this turns Manu green."That (flopping) is some bull. Then you all write like these (expletive) guys can play. Give me a (expletive) break."
He "ain't changing nothing?" Does...does that mean that he's *going* to change?
We are going to squeeze his balls tighter than his ex wife did.
A healthier Nash and Hill will be very scary for SA
Hopefully they can work on some things defensively for game 2
Hopefully Hill can recover from that groin injury soon enough to help us out in this series. Otherwise, I don't see us winning 4 times in 6 games.
like he could sell that anyway.then promised he would not resort to flopping in hopes of drawing fouls on the Spurs' star.
Gimme a break. Shaq got away with a of a lot more than he got.
Game 1 was one of the WORST officiated games I have seen in a long time, and credit to the Spurs for playing through it.
I nearly flew threw my TV set when Thomas and Parker were fouled out, each on BULL non-calls. Yet the Spurs have more class than Shaq, they play through it and move on.
so he's going to continue to get into foul trouble? works for us.
i don't know why anybody acts surprised on this. when you can't move your fatass on offense or defense, you're only option is to play THROUGH people. at that point, you have to hope that the refs let you do it - so you accuse the other team of flopping.
he's firing about the bullet that he has left.
lol Shaq sounds worse than the whining Suns fans we got here...
I have lost all respect for Shaq...what a (expletive x10)
so shaq is going to keep missing free throws? shaq, i wouldn't ask you to change. i love you just the way you are.
Oh yeah...And lets hope Nash gets to feeling better.
Dude played out of his mind being sick, I don't suppose he'll do the same healthy.
sad to see shaq resorting to that kind of stuff... all bark no bite.
he's shaq and has proven a lot of things.
he can just shut the (expletive) up and prove his thing on the court.
I can't believe people actually understand Shaq. All i here is "mumble mumble mumble, the diesel, mumble, mumble, Shaq"
Good for us, then.
Shaq should just STFU and play like Tim does. Tim may whine a bit on the court, but you NEVER see him complain afterwards, no matter what the result. Tim has integrity... Shaq just has a big mouth.
Shaq is just saying that so the refs can take note. Expect the refs to start calling alot more blocking fouls on us verses charging fouls on Shaq in game 2. I know Shaq likes to talk alot of BS, but at the same time he knows what he's doing too.
