    I agree. Shaq was the only guy on his team doing anything. Rick Fox had a big first quarter, but after that slowed down. Shaq took advantage of his opportunities when Mutombo was out of the game.

    I would have liked to see more of Shaq vs. Mutombo. I think Dikembe does a pretty good job of making Shaq shoot more jump hooks and fadeaways. He doesn't allow Shaq to get deep position where he can turn and lay the ball into the basket every time. Yeah, Shaq got 40+ but almost half of his points were in the 3rd quarter when Mutombo was sitting. Not to take anything away from Shaq, because if you score 40, you deserve all the credit. As a fan, I would like to see the Mutombo/Shaq matchup. There are not a lot of big-time centers in the league now, so when you have two going head-to-head, its fun to watch.
