Two big guys, ten big questions


We've got hoopsmania here at SportsNation, as we eagerly anticipate tonight's Clash of the Titans, when Shaq meets Yao. The first meeting of the Big Man of the Present and Big Man of the Future will be a rare regular-season showcase for the NBA.

We want to know what you think of tonight's game and matchup, so check the questions below, submit your answers, and see how your opinions stack up with those of the other citizens of SportsNation.
  • 1) Lakers at Rockets tonight. Who will win?
  • 2) In his Daily Quickie, Dan Shanoff predicts Shaq will score 40 tonight against Yao. Dan's prediction is ________.
  • 3) Yao Ming is averaging 12.9 PPG and 7.9 RPG. Do you expect his numbers against Shaq tonight to be higher or lower than his per-game averages?
  • 4) Whose game do you prefer to watch?
  • 5) Who will win more championships from this point on?
  • 6) Who deserves to start at center for the West in the All-Star Game?
  • 7) Shaq has made fun of the way Yao speaks, and, with the private urging of the NBA, he has apologized and has said he will apologize to Yao in person tonight. What is your opinion?
  • 8) If the playoff race remains as it is, the Lakers need to win 46 games to make the playoffs. In other words, they need to go 28-16 (.636). Will they win at least 46 games?
  • 9) Who has been the best rookie this season?
  • 10) Besides Shaq, who is the best center in the NBA?
