Reposted on: 15.1.10 0829.04 | Don't forget that the big Lakers vs. Rockets game is this Friday on ESPN. The last time Shaq opened his big mouth about the "Sacramento Queens", he was made to eat his own words on Christmas Day. Will he end up doing the same after the recent taunts made at Yao ("Tell Yao Ming, 'ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh.'")? Trash-talking aside, this is a matchup I'm pumped to see. | Promote this thread! |             | HitTheSnoozeButton

Reposted on: 15.1.10 1259.01 | Being a rockets fan here in houston,
I am so looking forward to Friday's game.
As for the matchup, i expect Shaq will get
the better of Yao everytime they play each other
this year. But come next year, Yao will be
the best player in the NBA. | CRZ

From the boxscore:
Shaq shot 13 of 26 from the field (50%) for 31 total points and collected 13 rebounds....
Yao shot 5 of 14 from the field (36%) for 10 total points with 10 rebounds...
Shaq kicked his ass.
What the hell game were you people watching?

Oh, yes, the game where the other Rockets had to work 22 points harder to make up for the disparity between Shaq and Yao. Nice job for the Rockets, winning DESPITE Ming. :) | Swordsman Yen

Silly me. Thought the thread was titled Yao vs. Shaq. In that case...congats to Moochie Norris! You dominated Shaq! Despite only scoring two points, you were obviously the better man because your team won!
Come on folks, don't pretend Yao had a spectacular outing against Shaq when he didn't. The win came on the backs of Mobley and Francis (73 total points) who walked all over their matchups. The Lakers suck this year, mind you, but please.... | Zeruel

Yao's dunk sealed the deal during overtime. What did Shaq do in the extra five?
I have no problem giving that night to Yao. | Merc
