only time will tell

The Western Conference is straight wide open right now. It's an exciting time to be a basketball fan.

Suns are solid

I think they are getting it together. That Shaq trade is looking good right now.

Shaq delivers punishment

he gets in foul trouble but usually it's worth it. last night wasn't a good example but the Spurs game was. there were plenty of plays in which O'Neal was dishing out contact to the likes of Ginobli, Duncan, etc. come playoff time this pays dividends. -bB

Holstering the Big Guns

The only thing Shaq fired on Thursday night were shouts of motivation from the bench. Shaq’s seven minutes on the floor sent Diaw, Barbosa, Nash and Bell running while Amaré played like a champion down below. The addition of Shaq does create a more versatile Suns team with more consistent paint play and protection. Without Shaq (and his fouls), the Suns can still “run and gun” and knock down three’s, while Stat takes control under the net. Nash and the Suns are looking good as long as they remember when Shaq is on the floor.
