LOL, lots of Laker fans were saying the exact same thing last year. Running their mouths saying 'Shaq is going to get posterized!' etc. It will never happen, because Shaq would foul him if they made contact.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> it's really shameful you would even compare those two battling it out to Shaq vs. Kobe. But like many said, i actually think it's more "Kobe vs. Wade".</div> Thats not the main point of a Dallas and Phoenix matchup though. Its just a nice little subplot. Both are good teams with good offensive games. Whereas it has yet to seen whether or not the Lakers would even make the playoffs next year.
So many Laker fans, so much talking yet Kobe doesn't deliver... I remember clearly last year before Mia and L.A played all the Laker fans were like: "KOBE GONNA POSTERIZE SHAQ, GONNA SCHOOL MIAMI YO!" Yet the Lakers lost, and although Kobe played decent, he was scoreless in OT. And I still remember that block Wade had on Kobe that sent him on his ass...

You could tell Shaq wasn't happy even though the Heat won on Christmas day with his facial expressions. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">And I still remember that block Wade had on Kobe that sent him on his ass...</div> Yeh and Kobe put an extra foul in the name of Dwayne Wade in the statbooks. Before you say it, sure Miami won, but they were expected to win with the better team. If we had somebody equal to Shaq, say somebody like KG at PF, the teams would have equaled out a bit more and we would have seen a Lakers victory. Don't be fooled by saying Shaq is better because his team won. Shaq had the better team. If you replaced Shaq with another C and replaced Kobe with another SG, you would still see Miami win.

Hey, instead of Damon Jones, what if Miami had Steve Nash? Maybe they could've won the championship!

Lay off the pipe and return to reality. Saying that if you replace shaq & Kobe and that miami will still win makes no sense, because then it never would have been "Shaq vs. Kobe".

I dont understand.Is this another individual comparison of whos better between Shaq and kobe?
Nope, I'm just saying as people are saying that the Heat won because they had Shaq, I'm saying no. I'm saying its because they had other better players then Shaq. As I said after in my post which you people didn't seem to read is that if you replaced Kobe and replaced Shaq, Miami would have won because they have a better surrounding team. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">what is the point in saying "if we had KG", because you don't.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting B-22:</div><div class="quote_post">I know it will probably be a good game but I'd rather see someone else play on Christmas day, rather then listening to commentators during the Lakers Miami commenting about how Shaq and Kobe will approach each other before the game. Remember last year they were like "oh well they almost shook hand but they didn't make eye contact", lol who cares.</div> lol same here. They should have like two really good teams play. Not the lakers. they arent that good.

It's the Laker's office that's at fault for not having as good of a team. The Heat have a better team becasue they made better trades and acquistions, while the Lakers got jipped for Shaq.... that's a moot point bud.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dlkappi3:</div><div class="quote_post">lol same here. They should have like two really good teams play. Not the lakers. they arent that good.</div> lol that doesnt matter ill watch the Heat whoops the Lakers anyday
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dlkappi3:</div><div class="quote_post">lol same here. They should have like two really good teams play. Not the lakers. they arent that good.</div> Lol yeah it won't be much of a game this year.
Well actually this year, it should be an even better game seeing as we already have a better lineup and Phil.
The X-Mas game last year was great, but I don't expect it to be closer than last year. The Heat have gotten way better since that game, and while the Lakers have improved by a little bit, they still won't beat the Heat unless an injury occurs.
*in bill walton's voice or marv albert's (whichever gives you a hard on)* AND KOBE GIVES SHAQ A HUUUUUUUUUUGE FACIAL!!!! i hope this happens.

Um, sure whatever you want bud... The Lakers improved? Wow, I didn't know that getting a STILL unproven big man was improving, but I guess PJ is an improvement.

I'm sorry, that's the second gay thing I've read from you. It's so funny because it's unintentional.
Well this thread is going nowhere now. Everyone has written off the Lakers. We'll see who gets the last laugh. I love how everyone thinks we'll get blown away.
