    Exactly! Also, we are only one game ahead. Win tonight and we are 2 games up on the Lakers and winning the season series 3-0 with 1 game left to play against the Lakers. :cool:

    And if Shaq is to miss this game on the last one, I would rather him miss this one, give us a chance to wrap up the series now and give us a home court game with him there.

    You mean TNT? ESPN air the first game. They also grabed the 3rd. TNT is left pissed big time since they have been airing the REMATCH since the all-star break...

    This is what I mean by Shaq's immaturity. He is getting paid MILLIONS to play and with all the hype on the game tonight is add onto that. He is just a sore loser that backs out at the last minute. Can't depend on anything on tv these days.

    If Shaq doesn't play (which I highly doubt) I hope the Rockets are smart enough to double team Kobe. Keep on rotating Posey and Cuttino on his ass so neither gets in serious foul trouble. Throw the kitchen sink at his ass and make sure he doesn't carry his team to victory.

    Nice plan. Contact James Van Praagh or John Edwards and see if they can tell Rudy for you. Hell, even try Miss Cleo if you have to.

    I bet the LA fans are pissed...this is twice they have to miss out on the big Shaq-Yao showdown. Hopefully Yao will have another good game and shove it in their face :D

    This is actually a brilliant strategy on Phil Jackson's part.

    After studying countless of game tape, Phil learned the key to beating the Rockets. Here's the secret:

    Be a crappy team.

    Solution: Pull Shaq.
