Lakers - 111

One-Two Punch Outlasts Cleveland
Shaquille O'Neal scored a season-high 37 points and Gary Payton added 30 of his own, also a season-high, as the Lakers took a 111-106 overtime win in Cleveland on Wednesday. After leading at halftime, Los Angeles fell behind to start the fourth quarter but battled back and survived a last-second shot attempt that would have won the game for the Cavaliers.

The Lakers will win because Shaq will be angry after missing the Pacers game and he'll dominate the Cavs. :jam2:

Cavs Beware, Shaq will be in the house and he will be mad. There will be a Lebron poster made after Wednesday's game, the bad news for Lebron...it will be of Shaq dunking on him.

Expect a monstrous game from Shaq, and Payton will pick it up and get 15-20 points and 10+ assists.

I think so too, GP had a bad game against Indiana and knows it, he must be really mad at himself right now.

and plus, he did better with Shaq in the line up. He was able to get open looks and he got assists a lot easier, I mean all he has to do is throw it to Shaq.

NO:

Kobe
Karl
Kareem
Cook

So who is gonna be the starters? I would go with this:

Shaq
Slava
Luke
Devean
GP

anyone agree?

Well, I just hope Shaq comes to the game mad and shows up Stern and dominates LeBron and the Cavs.

I say Shaq will get: 59pts. 14rebs. 4blks 3st.

Kareem will be back? WOW..............I thought he was for 3 weeks .............my bad.

Kareem will be back, and Fox is taking back his starting spot (according to Phil), so here is what the starting 5 will look like:

I agree, but Shaq will have 3 ASST not Stl, and also the starting line-up will be different!

The only thing I'm still a bit hesitant is on Rush. I don't want him to hurt himself, but this lineup is the best one they have right now... I'm glad George isn't starting. I feel he'll pick up his game off the bench now that Fox has returned. This will be good for the team, and for Deaven.

Bulls Fan · by **Bulls Fan** on Tue Feb 03, 2004 10:29 pm

Yeah i say lakers win...expect shaq to have 28 or more pts....

i think LeBron will have a pretty good game either way...(especially since Kobe isnt there)....i expect him to get 21pts or more....around there....he'll keep the Cavs alive....but sadly they'll lose.

Lakers - 108
Cavs - 93

IF Cavs win....LeBron will have 30 or more....(realistically for them to win LeBron will have to get 40..lol) but the score will be

Cavs -106
Lakers -103

i say lakers will win for sho..shaq will score season high prob like 40+ and besides..look at cav's record..

hahaha..it's payback time for what they did to malone..heheh

lakerzrule · by **lakerzrule** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 12:05 am

Finally Phil decides to bench George! Shaq will be out for revenge, and the others will be open and make shots. I hope GP, Slava, Fox, and Rush all score a bunch so the Lakers can not only win but blow out the Cavs and Lebron. And no tape delay! I'm definitely watching this game. :jam2:

JSM · by **JSM** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 2:20 pm

Yeah, but if it was on KCAL only, then I wouldn't be able to see it. I live in ATL, and only get to watch the Lakers on TNT, ABC, ESPN, and locally when they play the Hawks.

it's nice to see Fox starting, Great dunk by Shaq

JSM · by **JSM** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:34 pm

JSM · by **JSM** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:35 pm

GP has 4 already, I guess the cut isn't bothering him that much
