I miss seeing him on the bench. Only respect for Tex. I'm glad many of you agree. Keep a look out for more pearls of wisdom from the master of the BBall. Look at his record, Helped get the Bulls A FEW championships and got the Lakers started on their way back up. My uncle knows his stuff. I miss seeing him on the bench. Only respect for Tex.

Malone... if we had him the series might have turned out differently. Shaq is rarely motivated during the season. BTW why don't you check out the boxscores of those 5 games against Detroit. I think you might be surprised in those boxscores when you look at Shaq's and kobe's stats.

If shaq is as “motivated” of an individual as everybody claims him to be then how come we didn’t win in ‘04 with malone and Payton. The fact of the matter is the heat championship was lucky(In fact he can thank wade and the refs for that chmpionship, mostly the refs :P). I appreciate shaq for what he did for us, but ever since he has left he has done nothing but irritate me. It all started in that abysmal finals series that we lost, and then preventing us from getting optimal value in a trade for him, forcing us to take the heat deal. To hell with shaq, I have little to no respect for him anymore, and he will eclipse the suns in phoenix. I can’t wait til Bynum shows him how old he really is.

Ray Allen's ankles will be giving him problems come April. I called it earlier this season, KG is due for an injury. He's never been injured his entire career and now he has an abdominal strain, but this is the first injury (there will be more coming to KG). The celtics are going to fall apart like the Patriots did. All Boston is good for is watching them lose in the big games.

C.Rang - I know you want to put these 2 games out of your mind,(Especially the 110-91 beat down in your own building!!!) but your boy Drew had no answer for Kendrick Perkins. Say all you want that Perk sucks but I’ll let their stats and THE final scores speak for themselves:

Nov.23 Bos 107 LA 94
Perkins 21pts 9reb 1pf
Bynum 4pts 9reb 4pf

Dec.30 Bos 110 LA 91
Perkins 7pts 7reb 4pf
Bynum 8pts 2reb 6pf

All good natured ribbing aside, hope AB makes it back 100%. Definitely like to see the Lakers-C’s rivalry back again. PEACE!

Phoenix or Steve Kerr wants to be "MINNY MITCH",if they can get Pau then we'll get...umm...ummm...Shaq! They really think they've trumped the Lakers by bringing in The Diesel but what happens when that same Diesel meets an even bigger Diesel with a better motor? If not even safe to say that Phoenix will see the Lakers in the playoffs. They're already 1st place in the west,why would you slow your team down? They need to thinking about N.O.,San Antonio,Portland,Dallas and the rest but they made the trade because they know the history between Shaq and Kobe,TRUST ME, THAT'S THE REASON.

And there’s no question that O’Neal has a pattern of struggling in the regular season only to gain interest and motivation in the playoffs. Kerr and the Suns are going to have to remake their running attack to use O’Neal, but they’re counting on a motivated and ready Shaq come playoff time. Yes, Winter doesn't think this trade will not work out. But he did have a qualifier. He said "if he's 100%". Well he probably never getting to 100% but maybe 80-90%. Who knows??? The Suns do have a famed training staff which has helped Grant Hill, Nash and others and that will be the key. Everything hinges on Shaq's health. I do think with the addition of GAsol the Lakers should still beat the Suns. I would love to see a PO series between the two. Shaq is the big Eclipse. Perhaps it won't be a Totally Eclipse of the Sun.

They are trying everything they can to stop The Lakers from getting that ring while in the pursuit of one. Phoenix WILL NEVER(YES I SAID NEVER)get a ring with Shaq and here's why,35 or 36,NO CONDITIONING AT ALL,does not like to run(which means Phoenix will have to slow their game down for him when he's in),I can go on and on but at least Shaq can say "My greatest success will always be when I was a Laker whether I like it or not,I HATE YOU KOBE(STARTS CRYING).I'm not saying it's over for The Diesel but the motor doesn't run as good as it used to or as C.Barkley says "Old people don't get better,they just get old", sounds like good advice to me plus the deal worked out better for Miami.
