Detroit has one of the best frontcourts in the NBA, cross that they have the BEST frontcourt in the NBA. Now why can't people accept the fact that Timmy could have had bad games against such defensively talented players. Why doesn't everybody talk about Shaq's bad games. Why don't we look at there numbers?

Besides the points Timmy wins every catogery. So why is Timmy labeled soft while everybody's favorite center - Shaq isn't?
Shaq had to play with a sore toe or something like that and Tim had to play with two sprained ankles. Is that what kept these two players from dominating there opponents? Why isn't Shaq labeled soft when he averages less than Timmy and his team lost? Why didn't Shaq toughen up and show them the big diseal(sp) in the absence of Dwyane Wade? Is it because he is soft?
If by these numbers, his third finals MVP and his third NBA champion against a frontcourt like Detroit makes Tim soft, then what is Shaq?
