Yao and Shaq both started so ferociously they were tired by the end of the first quarter, but still managed to put on a show. That flagrant foul call sucked, though. On a sidenote, I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about censoring your language here. You can say "Fuck the Big Show!" like the rest of the world.

However, while Yao is great, tonight was clearly Steve Francis's night, I think he showed the world that he is still "the franchise". I thought Marbury lighting up my Mavs was going to be the best performance I'd see in a long time....then I switched channels. What also intrigued me was how Phil Jackson not only left Shaq in down the stretch, but went to him, knowing that he'd be fouled and have to go to the line. Amazingly Shaq made his last four free throws, so obviously he knew something everyone else didn't. And speaking of the big man, some of his throwdowns in the overtime were just sick. That double clutch fadeaway by Kobe Bryant was pretty insane too.

He's finally starting to grow up and be a true point guard, instead of just passing to Cuttino and setting himself up for an alley-oop ALL THE TIME. That pass to Yao in the post was one of the best decisions I ever saw Stevie make. And yeah that was a bullshit call against Shaq, but Kobe was getting away with so much in that game it didn't bother me.
