Shaq and Zo will cancel each other out for the most part. I say guard play is the deciding factor. Heat in 6, maybe 7. ------------------ Don't you have anything better to do?
I really think that Mo Taylor will offset Brian Grant. Rider will have self-destructed by then, Mason will be in jail, so Anderson, Mobley, and Walt will have to take care of Jones and Majerle. Francis will break Carter's ankles the entire series (Hardaway will be injured). Cato and Dream will hold their own against Mourning. Rockets in 6. I'm just assuming that they still have to play the season before the finals participants are decided. ------------------ "I'll drop kick those f*ckin' dogs if they come anywhere near me." visit www.swirve.com
Man, I would love to see that series. Only if Miami wins, though. Riley coming back to LA and kicking their butts? Over Jackass, no less? That would be too much.
Pimp, how do u figure Shaq and Zo would even each other out? I think Shaq would destroy Zo. Yeah Zo is a better defensively player, but even he cant guard Oneal. Oneal is alot better offensively and is not a bad defensive player himself. ------------------ Fun Police Says: 1. Posting in stupid threads is not FUN! 2.

because ZO would score 20 - 24 a game and shaq would score about 24 so thats that ... ------------------ "And Raul missess the Penalty in the 89th minute of the Euro2000 and Spain is sadend again" by Spanish Fan
Last season they played each other twice. Here are the results. Game 1 Shaq 17pts(5-17) 11 rebs Zo 21pts(7-18) 9 rebs Game2 Shaq 28pts(12-22) 12 rebs Zo 33pts(12-25) 13 rebs Pretty even for both players. LA won both games, but the won't have Glen Rice to hit the outside shots and Miami now has Eddie Jones in the backcourt with Hardaway, not to mention a scrapper like Anthony "THUG" mason. The Lakers will have a tough time competing with the Heat this year. ------------------ Don't you have anything better to do?
Depends on the Officiating Fouls on Shaq or 'Zo will change the complexion of the series Rocket River ------------------
I like the Heat.....in 7. But the center matchup is definitely the deciding factor here. Consistency will be the key for Zo. He must play well and keep a high level throughout, or the Heat could be doomed. ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Zo's been running the floor a lot better these days. Especially when Van Gundy isn't hanging off his leg.

If Shaq can't destroy Sabonis, how the heck would he destroy Zo? Out of any player in the league at this time, Mourning would give Shaq the toughest time, IMHO. Heat in 6. Azim da Dream ------------------ We don't live for the destination. We live for the journey.
As much as I hate to say... I still think LA will win because I just don't see a "Clutch" player in Miami. Zo has come a long way, but I don't think he is the player that will push them to the top in a close game. No one else in Miami comes even close. Shaq, IMHO is even with Zo in that area (because of his poor FT shooting). The difference comes from MJ2 (I've grown a bit more respect for his BBall skill since the finals), I think this guy is "Clutch" (not to MJ's extent), but he is can push your team to the top. I hope I am wrong, there is nothing better (well ok, Rockets winning is better) than to see Jackass losing to a former LA coach. I used to dislike Riley, but I hate Jackass even more.
