THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN AND THE DESERT JUST GOT HOTTER!!!!!!

Fellow Phoenicians please have your air conditioners checked to make sure it is going to make it through the coming months. The arrival of the Diesel has just raised the temperature a few more very comfortable degrees.

To all the nay sayers. Yes Shaq is 35 yrs of age, but he is still 7'1" and 320 lbs. of human girth.

Does Shaq change the dynamic of the team? Absolutely....the Suns now have a center!!!!!!!

Does Shaq slow down the tempo of the game? Absolutely.... for Shaq. Lat time I checked there are five players on the floor at the same time for each time. TWO WORDS PEOPLE "OUTLET PASS". The only time Shaq needs to play offense is when the Suns decide to play half court basketball. Under Coach D'Antoni's regime, the Suns have really played a ton of half court hoops.

As for the "pick 'n' roll. Please see Shaq's physical measurements. He does not need to guard anyone, just wreak havoc in the lane.

Has Shaq fouled a bunch this year? Absolutely...that's because he thought he had to stop the other team from scoring just to keep his team in the game. Now, in a run and fun offense of the Suns, grab a rebound and make a pass, if not, take the ball out and create the break on the fly. Here is an email I sent to Phoenix favorites Gambo and Ash not too long ago.


I am originally from Long island (Huntington). I remember Shawn Marion when he first broke into the League. He used to absolutely kill the Knicks (it’s no wonder that The Garden is his favorite road venue). I have only been out here for two years, and I am going to miss him very much. He has bee a pleasure to watch.

As for the Diesel….How’s this for an analogy. Those of you that have little ones, you know how they are when they stay home sick from school. They just don’t feel like going….am I right? They could probably tough it out, but they don’t feel like it. That very same day you could say let’s go to Dairy Queen and get some ice cream…their eyes light up and they all of a sudden feel a lot better, and beat you in a race to the car.

9 wins this year made Shaq sick, now he’s on his way to Dairy Queen.

I can’t wait for the Diesel to shut up and shut up the nay sayers.

Buckle up and hold on, the Valley of the Sun is in for a ride.

P.S. Sheriff Joe, watch your back The Diesel is going to make "Tent City" look like a family retreat.
