When Shaq is in the game, I see four (defenders). When he's out, I see five guys.
Both teams played each other twice, we both won a game, each was close, and because of our history, yeah, it's going to be a very important game to see where both our teams are at.
It's not one guy sticking me the whole game where we're both getting tired.
It's no secret that the Bulls have no one to guard him down low, so he can dominate the game that way. Also, he's in great shape. He's really in playoff mode and we want him to be. We want him to lead this team.
It's the playoffs. I don't want to be worried about how I look.
Dominance, man. I think this is the best he's played in a long time. Last night was one of his better games in a while, so it's good to see him back into the form of being Shaquille.
Dominance, man. I think this is the best he's played in a long time.
You try to bounce back and that's all I tried to do every time I had a bad game. I was just putting the effort forward for my teammates to make plays and make plays for myself. So I did a decent job of bouncing back.
You (the media) might have made him (O'Neal) mad. I think you all lit a fire under him. He's been playing well the last couple of games. We have to find him more. We came out trying to get him the ball early. He led us to victory.
That's something I'm going to play over and over again in my head and say I should have gone with the left. I got to the basket. I really wanted to go for the three; I wanted to go for the win. But once I came off (the screen) I had attacked the basket. And I got a good shot. It just wasn't meant to be because I don't miss that too often.
That's once in a lifetime right there. There are not many times when Shaq has been on the bench in the fourth quarter.
That's a big reason the trade was made so we'd have a lot of guns.
(It) was my best game in a while.
It was nice. He was turning red when he put it over his mouth so I was worried about him a little bit.
