Even with Shaq in house, there is little to get excited about as ...

They called it Opening Night, and with good reason. There were lots of openings. Openings as in vacant seats. Openings as in positions unfilled; no point guard for the Nets, no fearsome rebounder, either.

Scoring is nice. So are defense, consistency, and staying in games. But not if they're coming in losing efforts.

It&#39;s hard to believe that, although I am typing this opinion after finishing the regular season 12-0, I am not as ecstatic as I should be .

There was a nice little mini-drama last night with the Lakers playing in Seattle. Not as big of a deal as Kobe vs. Shaq or Kobe vs.

Christian Laettner wanted to play close to his home and for a winning team. The Miami Heat was an obvious choice, even before they traded for Shaquille O'Neal.

The greatest center in Miami history isn&#39;t sure that adding Shaquille O&#39;Neal to the Heat lineup this season makes them a sure thing for the NBA Finals.

We know by now there are three Shaquille O&#39;Neals, only one of them formidable. There is the unguardable Attack Shaq, the original.

The Orlando Magic should be used to disappointment. Shaquille O'Neal left a decade ago, and the Magic got nothing in return. Tracy McGrady left three years ago, and Orlando got little more than a headache for him.
