osugrad,
I think that it is a misconception that Shaq made it easy for kobe. When you are a sg, the man who double teams you comes from the man who is defending the pg or the sf most of the time. No big man is leaving Shaq open to go stick kobe on the perimeter. Detroit was able to double and tripple team kobe with their pg and sf because Payton and Fox/George were not a threat at all. But with the talent spread out instead of having only two effective scorers, folks better think twice about doubling kobe. If they continue to try it, Kobe will average 8 or 9 assist per game.
The Lakers will beat the Heat on Christmas and will be a better team and Look for Kobe to fill up the stat sheet in every category.
