“It’s still the Big Three,” he says. “Shaq is four. Shaq is an enforcer. I know that from experience. He knocks guards like myself down, but he can’t hit me no more, so I’m excited about that.” Rondo continued, “I’m just one of the guys. I’m not saying I’m not important, but this is [...]

Jermaine O’Neal has already lost his starting job due to Shaq’s dominant play. Now it appears he has aggravated his hamstring. The result is he will be missing a week of work. This is not too big a deal. My guess is if it was the regular season Jermaine would be in there playing [...]

“I feel I’m the best at what I do, and that’s how I play it,” said Rondo. “People know who I am, but that’s not why I play. I play to be the best. “I’m the best, hands down. There’s no speculation. Not top three or top five, I’m the best.” “I’m not looking [...]

“We played the second half of the year and went through the playoffs, for the most part, without having a post presence,” Rivers said. “And I said, we had our stretches with Cleveland, when Kevin had the matchup that he had (against Antawn Jamison) and we went down there, but other than that… I [...]

Rivers said that his two biggest surprises in camp were Shaquille O’Neal and Nate Robinson. He said that each had a “phenomenal” camp, and then spoke quickly about each player.
