Everyone...I've noticed that alot of you have said that it's too early to predict...and that's somewhat true, so instead of making predictions, just tell everyone what you'd like to see in this game. I'd like to see both Shaq and Kobe go for 40+ points...Shaq pulling down 20 boards, Kobe with a triple-double...pretty much their game. I'd also love to see Shaq block Kobe, with Kobe coming back and dunking on him...and at the end of the game, a game-winner by Luke Walton (although I predicted Cook). I just don't wanna see Shaq and/or Kobe miss this game. I'll be one angry fan if that happens.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ace2k2:</div><div class="quote_post">Man, the guys just stating his opinion saying that he thinks the heat will win in a loop sided victory. No need to bash him just because he thinks thes heat will destroy your Kobe Bryant. I'm sure if he said the same exact thing excpet that the lakers will win in a loop sided win then you wouldn't be saying anything. Right now I'd say the Heat would win, but just because the Lakers have home court advantage, I ain't so sure. I'll make my prediction probably about in a week from now. Also don't expect Lamar To get those boards with Shaq and Udonis who isn't that bad of a rebounder. Kobe will have to have a HUGE game in oreder for the Lakers to win at this point. BTW great preview best one on JBB I have seen. The best game deserves the best preview. </div> I was bashing him, I was asking him his proof for it, Your backing him up for not having explanation behind a statement, why are you defending him. I said the Pistons would no repeat in a thread they asked me to explain, I did there was no problem, I don't see the problem.

There's no reason to debate something so trivial. I think the point is that if you have an opinion about the game...whether it's a prediction or whatever...that's fine, but it would be much better to back up your statement, prediction, and/or comment with reasons why you choose to express that opinion. It's not necessary, but it's beneficially to both the person with the opinion and the members posting their thoughts in the thread.
Hmm since realdealbneal suggested to do so umm i would love to see a battle between Shaq and Kobe while Wade meets his former teammate battle with him. It would be great if Kobe tries to dunk on SHaq and whether he makes it or not, i know i'm gonna be on my feet at home. I would love to see Dwade putting some move on Odom and maybe dunks on him too. Man i'm never gonna be sitting while watching this game.
My family is going to try and pull me away from the television on Christmas...but it's not going to happen. I won't settle for a recording...it's gotta be live, since I can't be there in LA.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting realdealbneal:</div><div class="quote_post"> Plus...Heat fans...Damon Jones did well tonight. I'm not sure about his defense...but do you think he'll be starting at the point?</div> I don't know about this game specifically, but Damon Jones will be starting for the next few games. IF things work well, you can bet you'll see him starting C-Shaq PF- Udonis HAslem SF- Eddie Jones SG- Dwyane WAde PG- Damon Jones THis is the line-up as of right now
Lets keep this bumped. A little less than 2 weeks before the big game, or some one should sticky this like in the Miami and LAker forums.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">I just hope to god Shaq and Kobe can go 11 days without getting injured.</div> Yeah, that would ruin my Christmas.
Casual's Expected Game Highlights: - Kobe and Dwayne combine for over 30 assists - Shaq and Udonis combine for over 30 rebounds - Kobe dunks over Shaq...on his third try - Caron Butler keeps the Lakers in the game when Kobe gets cold The Lakers win when they resort to Hack-A-Shaq and O'Neal misses too many free throws.
Hah I already told my girlfriend that i have to watch this game on Christmas so either 1. shut up and watch with me 2. or go and hang out with yo own crew. I dont care, i'm watching this game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting phunky420:</div><div class="quote_post">This is not going to happen...sorry! Have you seen the fakers play lately? Miami will own.....</div> The fakers won last night.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TDK23:</div><div class="quote_post">I can't wait until Christmas, I can't stand Kobe so I want Shaq to at least score 50 points</div> Shaq's too unselfish to score 50 points, if Kobe is selfish and ball-hogs he'll score 50 except he zon't get his team the win, If Shaq is selfish he'll bring his team down too, I just hope that there's no fight gonna happen
