Kobe v. Shaq

Tonight was Shaq's first with Phoenix. Of course, it was against Kobe and the Lakers. Shaq moved better than I thought he would, but he was as motivated and rested in this game as he will be for the rest of the regular season. But, Kobe was just a killer scoring 41. There was a lot of talk about Gasol hurting the Lakers with his defense, but I didn't see anyone on Phoenix stopping him.

As a Laker fan, I'm loving this. Shaq will probably play better as he gets used to the guys on the Suns, but the Lakers will get Bynum back in a few weeks. And with this win they have the tie-breaker over Phoenix if they finish with the same record. Things are looking good in Laker-land.
