I was surprised. The second Shaq took off his warmups, you could see that it was more "in-shape Shaq" than "fat shaq," which bodes well for Phx.

His impact on Amare was immediately noticeable. With Shaq patrolling under the basket, Amare doesnt have to pretend to be a center.

I was a bit concerned about Pau in the first half. Maybe it was big game jitters or a desire to do too much, as he picked up silly fouls and was not finishing. Once he settled down, he looked great. He turned and shot over Shaq's head from 10-12 feet a few times.

Kudos to Mitch. He was a whipping boy, but deserves all the props now.

Problem Gasolved!
