the question is, can he keep it up for a whole season? well have to wait and see.
exactly...its not just whether he can last physically..i expect an emotional/attitude breakdown before a physical one.

^The Suns medical stuff has got to be a collection of geniuses... They had so many players who suffered from serious chronical ill-beings, and all them niggas got better for good when they went to Phoenix. Nash and his back, Shaq and his conditioning + extras, Hill and his ankles + everything else, Amare fully recovered from the type of surgery that can end a career, and probably more stuff that isn't on my mind right now. If I was an NBA player who has physical problems all the time, I'd pay the Suns to fix me. And I'd pay good money.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

How did he get the best of Bynum? LMAO...I'm still waiting for your reasoning behind that...Lakers won and Bynum had the better line. Try making sense of what you're claiming.


That said, Shaq is lookin better than he has the past couple years...definitely not "elite", but he's playing his part...the question is, can he keep it up for a whole season? well have to wait and see.

1. yes the lakers won, the lakers are a better team
2. Bynum didn't have a better line than shaq. Shaq had 15 to bynum's 10. Shaq had 9 rebs to bynums 7. shaq had bynum in foul trouble. Phil benched Bynym.  bynum wasn't even a factor when shaq was on the floor, most of those stats came while shaq was on the bench, watch the game again, bynum couldn't do anything against shaq.

I did. And you're wrong.

Bynum wasn't doing anything on shaq, he had one shot on him, the rest were on Amare's soft ass. Also defensively all Bynum could do was foul Shaq. So to say Bynum had the best of Shaq is absurd. good defense doesn't equal hack-a-shaq, good defense equals stopping shaq from penetrating the paint, which bynum did not do. He let shaq penetrate the middle and got himself in foul trouble trying to stop him.

^What are you talking about?...If Kobe demanded an unreasonable salary from the Lakers and then asked for a trade when he didn't get it,  I'd hate his ass... This ain't no Raptor basketball, the Laker legacy is bigger than any individual player. I have a thing called Laker pride, unlike Jake, who still slobbers over Shaq after he shitted all over our franchise...

Jacob let's say you still have Duncan, Oden, Bogot and Ming for your topic.  :)
Check my topic with the play-by-play review tho. We can discuss there, if you want.

i had a long ass , thought out response...then the board woiuldn't let me post it....but watching and even REWATCHING that game. I still stand by the notion that shaq won that match up with out a doubt. Bynum was minimalized out there and got into foul trouble....something that has more weight than 1 or -1 points, while shaq just simply did his thang.

Shaq at any age> Bynum to this point.

im gunna bring this up at the end of the season and everyones gunna laugh.


Bynum is CLEARLY better out there...he's more agile, can run the floor, still rotates on defense, rebounds and defends. The current Shaq has NOTHING on Bynum, and the 5-8 & 1 TO vs. 6-12 & 4 TOs shows that.
