1) with teams zoning up on shaq, watch for shaq to start the offensive set on the weakside low block and flash to the strong side low block. 2) watch for shaq getting the ball on the high post 3) two-man game between between shaq and kobe...kobe said himself that they've been saving this for the playoffs. 4) kobe bringing back his finger lob/teardrop/floater shot. 5) shaq to play at fullspeed. 6) as usual, watch for horry to come up big in the playoffs. 7) when madsen, kobe and shaq are on the floor, watch for kobe to be the playmaker....madsen's man will most likely zone up on shaq and show no respect for madsen's midrange shot. 8) watch for kobe to play aggressive...apparently in an interview with fox sports, kobe said phil instructed him to "play aggressive in the playoffs." the last time phil gave kobe the greenlight was kobe's first half scoring spree against the wizards (aka jordan's last game at LA). as kobe said, "we've been waiting for this all year. let's go. let's dance."
yeah shaq has been showing some new moves and surprising speed late in the season. the move where he catches at the elbow and drives in seems unstoppable and could set up a lot of weakside assists to a cutter. kobe, shaq, and horry will definately show up and hopefully the experience the rest of the team gained with extra minutes pays off.
aww man, where's the black socks?? i also have a feeling that kobe is gonna wear prototypes of his future signature show with nike.
