The big man is expected to play his first game in a Suns uniform Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest.
No live blogging tonight. It's a nationally televised game on ESPN, so I'm going to sit back and enjoy, though I may be on for the occasional comment. Srp has the recap after the game. Bullets Forever has the take from the other side.
One last time for the Matrix, who made his Miami debut this afternoon. We've used this one a couple of times before, but I'm bringing it back for a final appearance because (a) it kind of symbolizes what I was hoping the Suns would do with the Shaq trade idea when it was first being rumored (flush it), and (b) it's what I'm now hoping the Suns will do to the rest of the league between now and June:
