they have a small chance. When Shaq gets frustrated, his teams tend to lose. Remember the Houston/Orlando series. Once his team started to lose, he started to get frustrated. Shaq and his team practically quit. The question is whether Philly is good enough to frustrate him? ------------------ Fuggetabout it

Shaq said that after beating the Bulls in '95, the Magic thought the Finals was just a formality. The Rockets were 6th seed and they themselves had just beat Jordan. They were supposed to be a dynasty and all that. They were joking around, partying and everything. And then Olajuwon embarrassed him and Anderson choked at the free throw line and they lost home-court advantage. They got nervous and played tight after that and Houston was loose and having fun as they walloped them in 4. That seemed to have affected Shaq pretty deeply. I hope he'd learn from that experience to not count the opponent out. I've always said Philly's got a chance to win this series. The EC may not be too strong, but Philly and Milwaukee were. Iverson, Mutombo, good D, good coach. This win shows I wasn't completely crazy. I think Philly can win 2 of the 3 at home. They need to win one more in LA. ------------------ RealGM Gafford Art Artisan Cakes
