And this man is supposed to be our defensive anchor?

Cmon Rsavaj, how many of us thought Grant would be able to contribute? I was excited, but I didn't think he would look as healthy as he did. I think NF33IH was probably the only one...

Let's take a step back from this situation and just wait and see.

I, for one, will join you in the being scared as crap group, but I am going to try and be optomistic.

I'm sorry, I keep fluctuating between "Shaq could really work" to "OMG WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WHYYYYYYYYY WE'RE SO SCREWED!!!!!" literally minute by MINUTE.

... he's blowing layups. Layup after layup after layup after layup. It's horrible to watch. He's a first-rate talent. He's getting the shot every coach dreams about: point blank, with no real defensive distractions. And then he just misses it. Five years ago, he dunked all of those. Now, thanks to his physical limitations, he's not going over anybody with anything. So he has to finesse it, and watching him finesse a layup is a lot like watching him finesse a free throw. Hard to watch.

Umm, the dude shoots 60% from the field. Is this guy a moron?
