<div class="quote_poster">Quoting realdealbneal:</div><div class="quote_post">And I'll have the BIGGEST smile on my face when Shaq is dragging his feet back to the locker room after being ejected. I'd probably much rather see that than Kobe dunking on him...or Vlade hitting him in his eye.</div> Naw id rather see Kobe dunking on him lol.
Alright, the Heat's lineup has been changed, and so has the sixth man. I'll keep updating the preview when necessary.
Gimme a Few days,and I'll predict X-Mas day's biggest game in years. Right now,I Myself kinda favor the Lakers at this moment,and it does seem to be that with the Lakers winning now,they do have some momentium at their side now.but i wouldn't count out the Heat despite their roster changes..they could do some things that might suprise some folks. Anyways,as i carefully think on it,i will go over the odds and ends on each team's strengths and weakenesses.. But if i had to pick a winner now,It'd be LA.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting LiQz:</div><div class="quote_post">The game is on 12:00 pm pacific time?</div> Yes.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Billa_Bong:</div><div class="quote_post">Brandon, Divac hurt his back again he is not playing.</div> Yeah...just found that out last night. GREAT.
Shaq and Kobe will collide, opening a hole in the universe that will suck everything else into it. The Lakers always lose the X-Mas game and I don't expect for things to go differently this year. The visiting team is probably always angry they have to be away from home for the holiday.
Ok Here it goes for SAC KING'S Prediction for the BIG X-MAS game between the Lakers and heat. Don't expect either team to have a blow out against one another,what you can expect is heavily intense ball playing by both clubs,and high scoring drives from both the Lakers,and Heat.both teams will play with a lot of heart out there in the court,but one team can win,and that will be the Lakers. Lakers 99 Heat 98 PS:This Kings fan will be rooting for the Lakers,because Jesseca 328 Begged me to root for the Lakers on AIM..LOL ...And because i like her,and she's a nice looking girl,i figured this would be my X-Mas gift to her Merry X-MAS:Jess
I hope it will be a tripple overtime duel, with both Shaq and Kobe scoring over 40 points. Because of the overtime, both teams will have alot of players in double figures. Kobe will get the ball in the last 9 seconds, with the game at 148-150 in the Heats favor, and he will bury a 3 pointer to beat the buzzer and the Heat. Ahh, wishfull thinking...
Since this game is being hyped up as Kobe Vs. Shaq, do you think the Lakers fans will cheer wildly for Kobe and boo Shaq? Or will the arena be split -- half cheering for Kobe and the other half cheering for Shaq?

So, I do expect cheers at the beginning. I expect boos also. During the game, it could be a different story, especially when Shaq approaches the charity stripe.
I predict that the Heat will win. I hope the Lakers win though. If I had to, say, gamble it... i'd go with the Heat. Ya know Kobe, he's gonna prolly get a triple-double or close and have 30-40 points or maybe even more, but it's gonna be off of 30-40 shots with maybe 11 or so of them made. It's really hard for me to predict this game right now. Maybe I should have just waited until tonight when the Heat are done playing the Kings.
With Butler out (I'm guessing he's going to get suspended...who knows), then we can think of it as a positive thing. Maybe Bobbitt will be activated, and we can FINALLY have a PG that can play some defense...and Walton may see some time if Jones is the starting SF, also...which is good.
^ Real Deal, can you make a funny cartoon of Kobe&Shaq (like the one in Miami forum) and post it here? And this time, show them how it's done with the correct jerseys and correct venue. Can't wait.
