As one of the "Three Stooges" (please dont make me hit the button by your resorting to name calling) I have to say I am amazed that you cannot see the obvious.

The are different rules for Shaq.

Period.

End of statement.

From his traveling, camping in the paint, stepping over the foul line and shouldering players out of the way.

Tell you what, if Shaq were called for even half the fouls he regularly makes, he would be gone by the half in every game.

Much easier to name call and insult though.

Personally, I am done with the NBA playoffs and this thread.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! No answers for my questions about Game 5, huh? I know Shaq sometimes charges into opponents without a call. However, I also know that opponents have great difficulty guarding a man that is 100 heavier than anybody taking him. Every time someone takes him they are hanging on him with their arms, hands, knees, etc. That is undisputed. But I see how you shift the focus of my questions and debate on something you feel you have a stronger argument on. Get used to it, because the Lakers are better than your Queens.

Its pointless arguing with Laker fans who fawn over a player that can't play by the rules. They respond with "but players hang all over Shaq". Yeh, no sh!t. What else are you going to do if they wont call him for charging and travelling?

I hadn't seriously watched the NBA for years, and had just heard how bad the officiating had gotten. Then I got sucked in to this series. I wont make the mistake again.

This is an absolute, metaphysical, tautological truth. Don't lose any sleep over people who try to tell you otherwise. Hell, if you put some effort in it, I imagine you could find some people who believe the moon is made of cheese.
