One of the better Laker Radio Shows in LA. Dave Smith called out the media for not ripping on Shaq, so he took the opportunity to rip on Shaq himself. After Shaq took several shots at the Lakers and Kobe during the post-season, and the media joked along with him, no one has said much about how poorly Shaq played in the ECF. Instead they tried to make excuses for Shaq, but he pointed out Shaq ONLY had 2 REBOUNDS in the second half of the game. Shaq was also terrible defensively down the stretch of the game. Shaq did not rotate on Ben Wallace and Big Ben got a dunk from it. Then Shaq didn't box out Sheed, who made a tip in and gave the Pistons the lead. That was a crucial basket in the game, and finally Shaq missed a clutch free throw down the stretch. He also called out the BSPN Shaq Cheerleaders Screaming A. Smith and Greg Anthony. Thanks Dave for shedding the light and speaking the truth on Shaq and calling out the media who has been biased against the Lakers all season long.
The media is Anti-Kobe/Pro-Shaq. This isn't anything real new. Except for the fact that I like it when someone has the nerve to talk about the facts when it comes to Shaq's performance in the ECF.
It was obvious that Shaq lacked mobility, and its not because he is slow or fat. Three words, deep thigh bruise.

Most players just choose not to make it a public circus to talk about their injuries. On the show Dave Smith also mentioned how the media never praised Kobe for playing injured. In the 2003 playoffs he dealt with 2 surgeries, 1 to his shoulder and 1 to his knee ... AND STILL DOMINATED and played. No one called him a warrior for that performance where he averaged 33 points a game to beat the Spurs. Now you want to justify Shaq's performance because of a deep thigh bruise. You do realize Shaq had that injury for over 6 weeks? Football players suffer this injury weekly in the NFL and come back to play the next week. What about all the statements claiming Shaq at 60% is still 100% better than any other center in the league? The problem I have with Shaq is he said in not so many words, the team should have got him the ball more. You want the ball more, grab a damn rebound! Two rebounds in the second half of the game for the MDE is not acceptable.
he is getting paid millions, a deep thigh bruise is just an excuse, even wade came back from his injury and played his heart out. Still no excuse to be a lousy free throw shooter though..
