Shaq is 35 and injury prone now. Motivation cant stop father time.

Well if its a motivated, angry Shaq, then yeah its a good trade.

If its an injured riddled Krispy Kreme Shaq, then its bad for them, good for us.

why wouldn't shaq motivated? thats the only part that is a given. suns before shaq trade were no threat. they're a lot tougher now.


this game is too damn close. wade with 3 free throws.

Pass was stolen because all Farmar is doing is looking for Kobe

LO had a 1 on 1 matchup on the right side

Damn it Kobe. Its all your fault. Having your teammates pass to you. Damn you.

No way

Lamar can get his points without needing someone to create for him

When has Marion created his own points today?

He can't post up at all and cant dribble. On defense the Lakers have given him mercy because we didnt go to Lamar in the post on him enough.

Lamar had him pinned under the basket in the post multiple multiple times with ease

my bad should have written that in green
i would only want marion at this point if i already had nash, or someone who could create for him
i would prefer odom

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Wade getting all the calls now

[Sofa King]

Odom with a turnover. ****!

I disagree. The Suns match up much better with us after the trade, and Shaq adds championship experience to the team. I think the Suns became a better playoffs team with the trade, and that is anything but good for us. This trade is severely underrated on the Suns hands IMO.

I disagree. As a laker fan I love this trade. If the ball is in shaqs hands its not in Nashes and we all know that team needs Nash to win. They pretty much took a guy that gives them about 35-40 minutes a game and replace him with a guy that will give them about 28 at most. That offense thrives on ball movement, when Shaq gets the ball the ball will stop and he will take like 7 seconds to make his move. Alot of stuff is still in the air but I dont think it will work out.

anyone here notice the sound and camera delay

[Sofa King]

LUKE!

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Gasol sinks it to put back up to 6!!!!

[dockingsched]

didn't even realize pau was back in the game.

[Sofa King]

That hook was Kareem-esque.

[RocketPower23]

Big shots by Kobe and Pau, making up for dumb mistakes. Lets close this out.

[LAL4Life]

Gasol with a huge hoop... One stop and it's over.

[Griever24]

The Lakers really seem to have these droubts in the 4th quarter ... gots to be something to work on

[Sofa King]

Luke made a great play to Gasol. Where's Kreuk when I can shove this in his face?

Shaq usually shoots 55-60% from the floor and puts opposing bigs in foul trouble, so I don't think this is a great trade for us. Add Nash's play making ability setting up Shaq and I really like the deal for the Suns come playoffs time.

[Rox_Nix_Nox]

this sound problem is making things that much weirder

[hermes]

gasol!

[Chubby Chaser]

THE SOUND DELAY IS SOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!
