Well, hrm... I don't really know how to respond to this other than point out one detail. See, when the Suns got Shaq I knew one thing was coming, we had Shaq as a Laker for a long time and I watched teams do the Hack-A-Shaq so many times, suddenly we go from being up by 20 to up by 6 with 4 minutes left to go in the game.
The Spurs know that tactic well, hell, in the three year run of the Lakers how often did they meet in the playoffs?
The reality of the NBA is this, you have a small window of opportunity in which to utilize your talent and win a championship. We saw it with the Kings, we saw it with the 76ers, and so many other teams in the past. What you have working this year, may work next year, it may not. Look at the 2004 season when the Lakers got Malone and Payton, that team had everything it took to win, but that window was only opened for a year and then it closed with no success.
[censored] happens, the Suns will do some off season changes and probably have a couple years of downtime, we had to deal with it, but afterwards they will try another formula and keep trying til they win.
