Shaq expects to be in the 2010 Finals

[Drucci]

From Sports Radio Interviews :

Does he expect to be in the NBA finals?

“I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, but yeah.  Actually, every time I step onto the court I expect for that to be the outcome.  Talk about it too much, just go and get it done and see where it takes us.”

[Roy Hobbs]

I think that's the perspective that every player on every team (or at least, all of the players on playoff teams / contenders) should have.

[screwedupmaniac]

he can expect whatever he wants, but the games still have to be played, and he has to prove he can play more than half the season healthy. i know he's coming off a decent year, but he's another year older, and he couldn't play back to backs last year.

my prediction? the cleveland cavaliers will lose more games than last year, and will be a relatively easy 2nd round out to either us or orlando. you heard it here first, folks 

[GKC]

He just said he thinks that every year. He's played 17 seasons and been in the finals 6 times.

So he's only right 35% of the time he makes those predictions. Not good odds.

I hope everyone on our team has feelings like that as well.  If it were a KG or Sheed quote I'd be very happy about it.

I agree with you, but what bothers me is that Shaq loves to make predictions every year. Remember what he said when he arrived in Phoenix? He promised that the Suns were going to win a championship with him and then he left the town after a first round elimination and no playoffs the following year. I don't blame it for these results though because he did his best to help the team win but I'm tired of his predictions.

i predict they get bounced by the c's and i predict shaq will blame somebody else.

[GKC]

i predict they get bounced by the c's and i predict shaq will blame somebody else.

In the eastern semi's he will make quips about Howard or Perk/Sheed/KG, and then get thoroughly outplayed.

[RebusRankin]

Is he planning to end up in Boston? 

[Prof. Clutch]

Is he planning to end up in Boston? 

I like that, TP.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Yeah, Iverson said that every season for every team he played for. Prob not last year though, ha.

[RAcker]

I predict that Shaq will find out how Perk and Sheed's *** tastes.

Shaq will be disappointed.

Their gonna be more disapointed when someone gets hurt and theird NO decent backups for anyone besides Z and Parker.
