Laura Schleshinger would hit Shaquille a lot harder than Jim Everett ever
hit Rome.

Rome has other material besides "bad"? News to me.

Shaq's non-shooting hand was 1/3 of it. His elbow and his ass were the
other 2/3rds. I give Shaq credit for not complaining when he's hit, but
between this comment and the "Queens" reference years ago he's clearly got
"issues."

As for Lawrence Frank, he did a great coaching job this year getting the
team to the playoffs. Considering the team has zero inside presence, was
without RJ for most of the year, and never really replaced KMart, getting
over .500 and grabbing the 8th seed was a good job. And, you can't say
Byron Scott did a good job after he left. Scott's assistants (Jordan,
Frank) are in the playoffs, he ain't.

I never disagree on Shaq having issues.

I disagree on this part.

Frank did nothing and it showed in the start of the season, he steam
sucked even with Mourning playing few games, they were one of the worst
shooting teams, along with high turnovers, until he got Kidd back and
then Carter came from Toronto.

Byron Scott's team was riddled with injuries, egos (Mashburn and Davis),
and bad trades giving away players for almost nothing, and he still
managed to beat the Kings and couple of other teams.

I don't think someone with a woman's name like "Shaquille", should be
saying anything about anyone's name. He likes the nickname Shaq because
that's a little more manly, like a big house, but Shaquille, that is a
chick's name.

I'd like to see LF say that.

It took me this long to realize that Shaq is twelve.
