I put it on the Magic organization to have drafted Shaq but was not able to keep him there. To draft a generational talent and only keep him for 4 years is just horrible, no excuses.
I do like to looks of the current squad though. Banchero already plays great and still has great potential to grow. The young guys surrounding him are good players too. If they don't mess it up again, this squad might have some success in the post season a few years down the road.
Do you remember when Shaq tore down the whole backboard.

I’m not sure if I remember that from when it happened or just from seeing it replayed for the past 30 years.
I think they had to substantially redesign NBA hoops because of him.

Wow that really was over 30 years ago. I must be old. Feels like yesterday.

It’s wild how that works. Talking to a kid today about Shaq is like someone talking to us about Wilt.

Considering they haven’t shot well from 3, Dallas has to be pretty happy down 1 going to the 4th on the road. This is where Minny’s D really locked in against Denver in game 7.
reply
Agreed. I thought Minny's D would lock them down better. Kyrie also did not wait until the 4th to light it up. Maybe Ant's post game interview in game 7 calling Kyrie out like that poked the bear?
Luka heating up. Minny might be in trouble.

I didn’t like that basket interference call. That changed the dynamic of the last couple mins.
reply
Yea, that call was quite weak. I really liked seeing Luka playing so hard on both ends though. Made several big defensives plays and scored a few big baskets towards the end.
It was KAT, though. Of course he fucked up the biggest play of the game. Otherwise, he was awesome. That's the KAT experience in a nutshell.

Dallas is scoring more on Minny D than I thought they would.
