Well with the size advantage and experience factor, ofcourse Shag should dominate this matchup!! That aint no big deal!! Ming aint shit yet!! He is a decent rookie who is growing! Dont try to hype up this weak matchup and make it like Russell vs Chamberlain cause it aint even close!! GOT EM!!!

Ming blocks Shaq at least once., maybe twice.

Remember when J-Will faced off against Payton the first time. I don't recall the numbers, BUT I do recall (and everyone else who saw the game) the play when Williams shook Payton into a statue for a layup (at least I think it was a layup).

Overall, Shaq is going to kick his ass though.

Dont try hyping the shit down either, the guy is 7'5 and that spells trouble for any center. This will be a great matchup, one that everyone has been waiting for, it IS big.

This match up is hyped because of the voting poll in the all star game. Ming got a million + votes or some shit. Shaq will get Ming in early foul trouble, then Ming will sit his ass on the bench most of the game.

But like Czar said, he's a fuckin rookie. Give him 2 - 4 years, and he'll definately be a "decent" center.

It might not be Russell vs Chamberlain....But it sure has peaked my interest quite a bit. I think Yao will have his moments, but of course Shaq will dominate as he should.........It would be funny to see Yao drop 25 & 10 on Shaq tho.

Shag better dominate this matchup or Im laughin if he lest scronny man get the better of him!! Try again nitro, this matchup aint shit!! Just anotha game between the Rockets & FaKERZ!! But Ming will still start over Shag in the allstar game!! GOT EM!!!!

This game is BIG, try again CZAR. If you are comparing Yao to Bradley, you need to go watch more basketball, there on completely different levels. Next, dripping 25/10 on SHAQ isnt far fetched at all, especially for a center of Yao's capabilities. The funny thing is all you haters talked a gang of shit on SHAQ all year, now hes meeting his match, and you guys are saying he should dominate no problem, only to make room for shittalking if he doesnt. You think everyone cant see that? Jesus, do you guys huddle before a post and plan this shit? ROFL

I never talked about Shag, I know Shag is the most dominate player in the league, and Ming is a skinny kid!! Ofcourse Shag should dominate this matchup against this young rookie still growin!! If u think the Rockets/ Faker game is big, then u dont know much!! It will be just anotha game with hype that wont live up to it!! And about comparing him to Bradley, I aint the one who said "this guy is 7'5 and that spells trouble for any center"! So thats why i brought up Bradley homie cause u based it simply on height there!! Learn about it!! GOT EM!!!

Yao aint had to deal with someone as big and dominating as shaq before, so getting 25 & 10 would be a MAJOR accomplishment. Plus, look at what happened in the Suns game last night. a HIGH SCHOOL Rookie schooled Yao. Yao's had a nice season and all,and hes going to be a dominating player in time, but hes a little overratted at the moment.........That being said, I still would like to see him drop 25 & 10 on Shaq.

But you see, Yao can drop 25 without going to the hole. He can shoot it from 15-20ft away. He should not put up 25/10 against him, but im saying it has been done against SHAQ, and will again.

I said you talk shit on him, as you just did in that line.

You got all defensive when i refered to Kobe as being a kid, now you say Ming is? What are we doing here CZAR?

Everyone has been waiting for this matchup ever since Yao was seen on the court and now its finally happening. Every Laker game is critical as they still stand at a losing record. Big game, end of story.

You stole a lil of my thunder there Nitro, but that's the same point I was going to make. And I agree about the 25, 15-17 sounds a bit more down to earth. As far as Stoudamire smashing on Yao, Armare is a much younger, athletic athlete than Shaq so I wouldn't compare the two match-ups at all. That was different. This is now.

Shaq isn't going to come out to guard him for two reasons. 1) He's not in that good a shape and 2) He's not going to risk the younger more agile body of Ming getting around him for a dunk. Cuz just like the J-Will on Payton play a few years ago(I mentioned above), no matter what the box score says, that dunk will be the play people will be talking about and remembering.

I still say Ming get's a block or two anyway.

...and that Shaq tries to punk him.

Hopefully Ming is still too foreign to know better and stares Shaq right back down. Hell, Hedo did it.
