<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Shaquille O'Neal angrily hurled the ball at Malik Rose during garbage time of Miami's 103-83 blowout of the Knicks last night at the Garden. But it wasn't because Shaq was frustrated by the physical abuse coach Pat Riley says the big man and Dwyane Wade are forced to tolerate on a nightly basis.
"That wasn't why I threw the ball," O'Neal said. "You know (Rose) had to do something dirty and he knows he did. When he flopped, I tried to hit him in the face with the ball."
Asked why, O'Neal replied, "He grabbed my little man," and he wasn't talking about Nate Robinson. "He grabbed my little man," O'Neal charged. "He was just out there flopping and the refs fell for it. That's the only thing that frustrates me. There's guys who don't want to play defense. And as soon as I get the ball, they're flopping and referees are falling for it.
"I don't have to go through Malik Rose. I can go around him. He's not that good and never has been."</div>

I was wondering why Shaq threw the ball at his head yesterday. I would've done the same thing if Rose was reaching. For some reason that shower thing with Nate Robinson comes to mind.
