OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Now that the runnin' Phoenix Suns are making a playoff push, Shaq is wondering what took them so long.

Jason Richardson scored 31 points against his former team, Shaquille O'Neal added 26, and the Suns rang up the highest point total in the NBA this season in a 154-130 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.

''I don't want to use the word disappointing but coming in we thought we would be one of the teams,'' O'Neal said. ''It's still special and if we stay focused anything can happen.''

The Suns are within four games of the Dallas Mavericks for the eighth playoff spot with 15 games to play.

4. Yea, Bay Area basketball is embarrassing this year.

But the bottom line is let there be no doubt who my team is and has always been.

And who's your team? Oh that's right, you're a long time Celtics fan. :eyes:

5. I figured that would draw out a "real 24 year old sports fan"

Yes. The Celtics were shameful three years ago and the pirates have been shameful for 17 years. Of course you probably can't remember back that far!
