Kobe vs. Shaq Christmas showdown

[mikey710]

I just saw a yahoo poll on who will have a better game, Shaq or Kobe. Oddly enough, theres a 70% margin favoring Shaq. This is nuts. I dislike Kobe but I hate Shaq. If anybody can rise to a challenge or drama it Kobe--I see him having a career night. Does anyone remember his games after court appearances? Kobe is actually talented enough to showboat and get away with. Im not saying the lakers will blow the heat out, but I cant see Shaq dominating this matchup. Free throws alone will favor Kobe. just wanted to hear everybodys thoughts

Don't know what the point spread is on this one....but I'm on the Lakers....shaq ain't coming into staples and winning this game...look for a huge day from kobe:thumbs:

Two or three points regarding this. One, if Kobe has any sense, and he does, he stays out of the lane and shoots three pointers all day.I personally would love to see him come down the lane one time, however.
Secondly, the Lakers are a mediocre, .500 team that has to have Kobe having a big game just to stay competitive with decent teams in the league.So of course he will have a bigger game than Shaq. Shaq is also nursing a bum calf.
Lastly, were I coaching the Heat, I would make sure whoever is being guarded by Kobe is constantly running around screens set by Shaq.I suspect Shaq would thoroughly enjoy setting oh about ten or twenty bonejarring screens on Kobe....whom I suspect would quickly figure out calling "switch" ten feet from Shaq would be his best bet to survive.
Kobe has the team he deserves. Hope he enjoys scoring 40 a game and losing half the games he plays this year. What an asshole he is...:puke:
