Shaquille O’Neal on the recent changes: “We always had a shot to get it done. These guys were just used to one way. We tried to put them in an athletic culture shock. They really didn’t adapt. Some guys adapt quickly. Some guys, it takes time. Some guys don’t adapt at all. These guys like to play like that. Despite that, you still got to make stops. … Now, against the good teams, teams that play great defense, teams that have great chemistry, teams that are up there, that’s going to be the true test.”
I knew this would happen. Shaq’s not going to stand for this type of system. You know, the kind that doesn’t prominently feature the big fella and actually, oh, say, wins the freaking games? Say what you want about the weak teams they’ve faced, but the Suns are at least fearsome again. And if you’re winning games, who cares? Oh, yeah, the 300 lb $20 million liability. That’s who.
He should be excited this team is playing together and with life again. He should be saying he’ll adjust to whatever is going to give them wins. He should be saying this team should do whatever is best for the whole team. But instead? He’s talking about LA and complaining about a team, in a very patronizing manner I might add, that just laid down over 420 points in three games.
Sad, really.
