Only time will tell with Ben Wallace and how much of Gooden's success was because of LeBron.

Yea I watched the game. You have to keep in mind, it was shaqs FIRST game with PHX. He actually played better than I thought he would. Not only that, but the game was close....and oh yea, also happend to get in the 120's. Thats PHX basketball, not LA. LA is going to have to lock it down on defense if they want to make the finals, you cant give up 120 to teams like PHX and expect to win a 7 game series....they will run you out of the gym.
I also happend to catch J. Kidds first game with Dallas, also a loss.
These things take time to come together, you cant just throw a new superstar into the mix and expect instant results. Its a team game, things need to mesh, and after about 15 or 20 games you'll see the impact Shaq and Kidd will have in the West.
There is soo much goddamn talent in the West, its scary. I cant wait for the playoffs.
