Seriously...

We lost an early game because of the refs, but I don't remember that our players were out there blaming the referees. Plus Shaq already gets the benefits of a lot of doubt, and they let him stay in for the entire 4th quarter with 5 fouls!

Does anyone think that there will be a time when Shaq stops talking about the "real" games and give the Nets some respect?
