Kobe wants Shaq to stop taking things so personally every time he doesn't pass to the game's most dominant player for an easy dunk.

He made the first of two free throws again, then bounded into the lane to catch his miss and convert it into an easy dunk.

He shot a 3-pointer that turned into a long rebound and an easy fast-break dunk for Bobby Simmons.

Thomas hit a driving Williams along the baseline for an easy dunk.

Wade, the brilliantly swift young Heat guard, kept sprinting away for easy dunks and layups.

Offensively, Camby will try to sneak free and cut to the basket for the kind of easy dunks he had in Miami two weeks ago.

He had 9 assists in 16 minutes, including 2 to Buck Williams in a set offense for easy dunks.

"The last couple of years, that would have been an easy dunk, and it would have just knocked the wind out of you."

But he stopped short of the 3-point arc and handed the ball to Sharif Fordham for what should have been an easy dunk.

And they have been relentless in the low post, refusing to allow easy dunks or layups.
