The Pistons beat the Lakers in 5 games. I think Ben Wallace has done better than anyone in the league against Shaq. Also because he makes Shaq have to run the floor and it tires him out. I think you get blinded by superstars and Shaq will get his numbers but the big difference is there isn't a double team. Shaq usually gets those numbers plus he gets double teamed. Ben Wallace is one of the few players in the league you can get away with single teaming Shaq.

Pistons won that series because they alloowed Shaq to score, and made Kobe and the role players beat them. That didn't work against the heat because Wade drove to basket and exposed Detroit's D.
great game.. We lost by a lil and Deng didnt even show up. Im not worried at all.great game 4 sweets he wasnt backing down at all.Gordon showed us hes on a different level Scoring that much on wade is awesome
Great game, if Dwyane was hot the whole game it would of been a bigger win for the Heat but Shaq just abbused Tyson Chandler. Gordon really showed up yesterday though, he was rolling right past the Heat defense and he was shooting the ball very well.

As Nitros stats show Shaq was dominant in that series. The rest of the Lakers are the ones who got shut down.
That was Detroit's strategy... let Shaq and Kobe get theirs, and take everybody else totally out of the picture.

Gordon is continuing his stellar play; The guy gets considered as a shooting threat but he is such a good ball handler, he handles the ball so well. He can get away from his defender and nail down that shot or go in for a lay up. Luol Deng is also stepping it up but the bad thing is everyoner on Miami is shooting the lights out. i.e. GP, Antoine, JWill. Shaq isnt being very dominant so far though, Sweetney is doing a good job on him. The Bulls have a legitimate shot at this game.
Okay, end of third, Heat have this one. 76-95 Heat dominating. Bulls are settling on way too many jumpshots. My God, Shaq has had a bunch of alley oops.
Game over. Heat win. Another solid preformance out of Shaq. Bulls were just shooting jumpers all night and eventually became cold, then we were finally able to pull away. Anyways, we're in great shape now with Haslem and Zo both be returning next game. Time to finish off this sweep!
