Lisa Salters said Shaq won't be tomorrow and today, making his debut after the All-Star break on ESPN.

Good rivalry game and a game for Western playoff position.

if thats true the ratings for that game will be insane

I knew it.

It's a shame the game is at Phoenix, though.

Would love to see Shaq playing the Lakers in LA as a Sun.

Lol, when you thought the Shaq-Kobe thing finally ended...

I dont get why people are making this into a Shaq/Kobe thing...

Good game for Shaq to come back. He has no need to rush and it's a perfect time after all-star break.

yeah, because he'd be so effective versus the W's

How appropriate too bad Bynum or Ariza won't be there,

This game should really be on TNT. After all, they know drama.

Yep...that should be one hyped up game!

Nice timing. Now the ESPN talking heads will jack off to this game for over aw week.

I'd seriously consider playing Turiaf in that game just to piss off Shaq taking Radmanovic out of the lineup. Odom will have a field day against Grant Hill.

I don't expect Phil to do that though. They'll just try to help Gasol...

Mbenga!! there I said it.

Do you know they used to be on the same team? They won championships together. Then things were said, people were angered, moves were made, friendships were ended, a rivalry started. Or something.

Anyways, that's a pretty ballsy move by Shaq. Or maybe he just wants the excuse of it being his first game in case he sucks.

this thread is hillarious. i would've loved to seen shaq tonight run with the pace of tonight's game vs the dubs.

Wish Bynum could be there to smash it on his face...

Depending if he's healthy or not it might not be pretty for the Lakers. They match up FAR better with Pheonix with Bynum. In fact with Bynum it'll be a big win...

I can't believe Im saying this about shaq but...

If he was at least there would be a bit more bloody defense

Just like every other time they've matched up right?

Bynum had that one big dunk on him, i think his rookie year, but thats about it
