Yep shoulda kept Shaq and traded Kobe...

I've never loved anything more in the NBA (not even the 5 Showtime titles or the 3-peat) than to see that fatASSED waste of space fail miserably. He got his in Game 1 and it pissed me off. He fuckin barely registered as a blip on the impact player radar and it fuckin makes my day.

Fuck that chump.

One game does not a series make. Shaq Diesel's still got some mileage left in that tank.

While it was unfortunate that the Lakers couldn't keep Shaq and Kobe together,
Bryant's younger age had to have been the deciding factor.
LA has done well keeping up with Phoenix so far, mainly by getting guys on the team not named Kobe
into the mix.

Shaq is getting older. It happens. He can still dominate, just not on a per game basis. He has been getting some bad calls in the series that are getting him into foul trouble and thus his numbers arent going to be great if he is on the bench.
