nba season

I hope you aren't say the Lakers are good without Shaq. If you noticed when he was out for a period of time for an injury last year, the Lakers were slumming, even when Kobe was scoring 30+ points. When Kobe was out, the Lakers still pulled off a win because they had Shaq. With him in the paint, people double team him and that opens the Lakers. Kobe can get double teamed and still will try to keep the ball just so he can prove he is that dam good. With the weak supporting cast they have now (no fisher, fox, payton, but they still got that ol' **** Malone) Kobe will TRY to do it by himself but it aint happening. Lakers are going down. :wink:
