Q: Why do I have the feeling that I’m about six weeks away from wandering the streets of San Diego wearing a Ron Burgundy beard and drinking hot milk out of a carton? —S. Kerr, Phoenix

Q: I don’t get it. We run the high screen, I get into the paint, I’m going for a layup and then Shaq’s guy comes over and I end up throwing the ball off someone’s face. Next time down, we run the high screen, I feed Amare for one of his runaway train dunks, and then Shaq’s guy comes over and takes the charge. Then we move Shaq 15 feet away from the basket to give us space, but his guy realizes immediately that Shaq can’t shoot, so he just stands under the rim and gets in our way. What the hell do we do? How do we solve this? My head hurts.—S. Nash, Phoenix
