Is Shaq listed to start tonight?
- Thread starter LasVegasErnie
- Start date
Shaq's listed as questionable, he's a game time decision, I will be watching the pre game show "Lakers live" on Fox sports net west, Ill keep you posted.
Like only one said, hes game time, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and just guess no. Line is set for him not playing regardless of whether or not they lost to memphis on the road a couple weeks ago.
Good Luck....
Personally i would stay away from this game altogether.....

MEMPHIS - F MIKE MILLER (FLU) IS "?".
LOS ANGELES - C SHAQUILLE O'NEAL (CALF) IS "?".
MEMPHIS -
(11/22 09:31am) F Mike Miller (flu) left last game, "?".
The Commercial Appeal reports -
The Griz played the final eight minutes without Miller, who had
complained of flu-like symptoms most of the week. He appeared ill
throughout the game and finally went into the locker room with 8:08
left in the fourth quarter.
LA LAKERS -
(11/23 03:14am) C Shaquille O'Neal (calf) is "?".
The Press Telegram reports -
O'Neal did not practice Saturday because of the strained right calf he
suffered in the second quarter of Friday's victory over Chicago and is
listed as day to day.
He will receive treatment twice today before the team makes a game-time
decision about his status for tonight's game against Memphis at Staples
Center.
Teammates, however, seemed prepared to play without him.
(11/22 09:31am) F Karl Malone (hamstring) is probable.
Will post if I receive anything else...GL

Without SHAQ, this game will be a lot faster paced as LAKERS will not slow down and wait for the diesel to get down court and down low. The TRIANGLE still focuses around the big guy, whether or not he's scoring alot or not, so this will help the OVER in my opinion. The pts you miss without SHAQ???? PLEASE! Anyone who watches the LAKERS know that KOBE will be more than happy to take his & SHAQ's share of shots anytime. Also without SHAQ in the middle, MEMPHIS should do a lot more driving the lane, getting easy buckets and going to the line. I think this game is perfectly set up for an OVER play, and I also like LA -4 in First Half. Since LA picked up MALONE and PAYTON, there is plenty of offense here without worrying about SHAQ. MAILMAN, KOBE, FISHER, PAYTON will pick up any needed SHAQ-less SLACK!
