Shaq has started the last 2 games for the Bulls and has responded. He’s scored 17 and a career high 25 last night. What’s amazing is that he’s gone 3-3 and 5-6 from 3-point range, bringing his percentage from behind the arc to 41%. Great job Shaq.

Amazing what a non-D1 player can do in the league!!!1111
Seriously, I’m incredibly happy for him by all indications he has worked his @$$ off and is a high character young man too.

Impossible. Nowledgeable posters on this very board said he should never play for us. I don’t understand?? ?
He equaled his career number of threes at Tulsa in one NBA game. lol......Good for him..Great guy.....
Bulls have some injuries right now. Shaq should be playing more anyway. The coach plays the high $$$ guys and it's the reason why the Bulls are just awful. Defensively, they'd struggle stopping a HS team. Lavine can score but he pretty much refuses to play any meaningful defense. Even the relatively few minutes Shaq was getting before starting he was the top or near the top in terms of +/- for the team and Lavine always seemed to be about a -15 to -19. That's woeful.
The team has had so many injuries this year it's hard to compare the +/- numbers. The key to Shaq's future in the NBA is his 3 point shot (needs to be 35% or above) and finding a defense-oriented team who doesn't preach the three-point shot over all else. I've seen so many examples of him driving to the net and then looking for the pass to the outside shooter and not taking the short shot I've lost count.
Had a nice game tonight
huge game sealing offensive board at end - got fouled and knocked down his FTs
they love his attitude and hard work
oh... I think the bulls will sign him long term and get rid of Dunn’s pricey contract

I suspect he plays with a huge chip on his shoulder and his work ethic is likely second to none.
That is the thought around here, Dunn is due 4 to 7 million and it could be 10 million and Shaq is due 1 million for similar production. Shaq is an disrupter but needs to learn where the bounds are so he becomes more consistent.
I've always heard that shooters are born, not made....He certainly is an exception to
that, as is Jackson to some degree....Korita changed his stroke out of HS, lost his
confidence, and became an average shooter at best....He apparently worked at it real
hard in this off season, and regained his shot....Working hard and smart is certainly one
way to get there....
It is hard to swallow that their season is over, and apparently, we will not see Korita and
Igbanu in a TU uniform again....The NCAA is losing their biggest money maker by far
in giving up the NCAA tournament....Probably the prudent thing to do, however......
