That ejection was bullshite. He was going for the ball. It was just a hard foul and the fall made it look more traumatic than it was.
whatever....when a 330 LB 7'1" dude launches himself at a guard when he is in mid-air , they will call the flagrant 2 and toss him.

So because you are 330 lbs you aren't allowed to make a play and are supposed to let him dunk it/lay it in? There is no way you can tell me that play was intentional... if it was just a flagrant, I would let it slide, but the decision to eject him for that was horrendous.

I was listening to the Suns announcers state on the broadcast on NBATV that they thought the league would overturn it due to the way Stuckey plays. I always liked having brothas on my side that play like that dude....he will just take it to you all day long. He plays hard. After looking at it from a different angle , it is pretty clear that Shaq was making a play on the ball , he just ended up flopping on Stuckey like a 330 Lb fish out of water
Like I said before I don't think Shaq intended to hurt Stuckey....maybe send a message about coming in the lane though This post was edited on 11/16/08 at 11:12 pm

It should be overturned. It was a hard foul, nothing more. It wasn't like Shaq was behind him and just clobbered him to prevent him from getting an easy lay in. Shaq moved across the lane and went up with two arms extended to the ball where he was positioned between Stuckey and the hoop.
I am a big fan of players taking it strong to the basket and props to Stuckey for having a knack for that, but it would also be unwise to do go up against Shaq and not think you might get knocked on your arse.
In the fourth quarter I believe it was, Stuckey was taking it to the hoop again and got called for a charge that I thought was also a bad call. It was the NBA referees continuing the pussification of NBA basketball yet again in what should've been an obvious no call. Grant Hill was guarding him and was just moving his feet with him and Stuckey went into him a little, yet not enough to even knock Hill down, and it gets whistled for an offensive foul.
End of rant.

I'm confused. How can Shaq be any good without a mid-range jump shot?

Anyone see Shaq's comments about it after the game? Vintage Shaq....

carl, sounds like you think the cavs should move LJ to center in the playoffs since he cant hit a shot outside of the lane if his life depended on it.

No, but he's built like a power forward and you keep comparing him to 2-guards.
