While we're on the subject of ball size, how big a set does Bob Delaney have for calling number 6 on Shaq in game 3? I agreed with the call, but imagine what went through his mind before he committed to blowing his whistle!!! Maybe Mutombo could borrow Cechmanek's helmet for game 4.
Jeff, if you ask me they blew it on Philly's previous
offensive set and the PC was Shaq's seventh. I don't recall
the details but on a drive to the basket they gave the
foul to some other Laker when it was *clearly* all
Shaq. I think that if Mutombo hangs in there he'll get a
couple more calls his way tomorrow night.

Watching that play, my initial reaction was "What was that call" but seeing the replay from the lead's position I totally agree with the call. I think Matumbo needs a hockey helmit at least when he plays Shaq.

With all the attention this is getting in the media this will be an interesting match up to watch in Game 4. Shaq has basically called Mutombo a coward. I can't wait to see how this match up is refereed tomorrow. Do the refs let em play or tighten up right away? Does anyone know who the referees will be?

For those who saw the PC, do you have a call on Shaq's
initial elbow or on his running over Mutumbo going to
the basket?

Sparky,
After the elbow, Mutumbo was outa the play.
I got the elbow. :)

You are crazy if you think that Shaq gets the beter end of the deal with anybody that guards him. If Shaq were to hit people as hard as they hit him, opponents would never have enough players too finish a game - They would all be at the hospital. How many times durring this series have we seen Deke foul Shaq with the foul being given to the doubler?
Deke had two blatant no calls where Kobe was trying to throw it down over him. Deke was a foot from the ball bath times, all arm on the play, Kobe missed the dunk, no call was made.
I can understand why Shaq wishes he could dish out what he takes.

If you think that I was out of control in that reply then you must give way to many T's out on the court.

Nope. That's one way of calming someone down so that they don't get a T.
