Got to think Shaq's assists are good too. He see the floor very well from inside, making the pass to the open man.

Had a great steal and led the fast break with two passes for the layup.

He has intangibles.

^ This. His high post passing coupled with our fairly new motion offense is one of Pastner's adjustments the miserables have overlooked.
There IS more. Let the dumbasses figure it out.

Usually all it takes is for someone to make a new thread about a player and the next game Boom, he has a great game.

Shaq just needs to flash that Magic type smile at the crowds and let his play do the trash talking for him.

Shaq is pure energy which is exactly what this team needs right now. Hustle is contagious....

He hustles and I think he really doesn't give a **** about his numbers. Just the type of player I love.

Next

It's been fun watching him get a steal and go in for a dunk. Usually the guy chasing him decides not to contend his shot.

That's been my only complaint regarding Shaq. He seems to just throw the ball back up after a rebound without concentrating or aiming. It maybe be that he's rushing his his shot so it won't be blocked. I dunno.

That is my personal opinion.

You must have missed all the "miserables" talking about how good Shaq is at the highpost earlier in the season and asking why Pastner didn't take much more advantage of it?

Also interesting how once Pastner did start using him much more often in the high post "miserables" stopped pointing it out..

I like his talk, his swagger and his energy. This is a team who has someone different step up almost every game.

And I feel sorry for Tarik, he is in some kind of Funk49.

Late in the game, Tarik pushed the Marshall guy from behind after he had already blown by him for a layup. The guy had the chance to make a 3-pt play.

Pastner isn't going to make any lineup changes until they lose another game. Remember how he kept Barham in the starting lineup for like 7 games because we won all those games? It sure wasn't because Barham was lighting the world on fire. CJP is a superstitious dude.

He had another where he literally bearhugged the guy to grab the ball on the other side.
