This is hysterical. Shaq's return date is now April 5th. All you can do now is laugh. This is like the 4th or 5th return date we have heard for him.

Yeah, and the first was at the end of February.

Looks like Shaq is heeding the words of John Fogerty and CCR --"Someday Never Comes".

Hahaha, TP! Very true! Like I've been telling people since over a month, Shaq is done for the year!

To be fair, only a "team source" said Shaq would be back April 1. Unless that was Doc himself, I won't consider that a setback for Shaq just yet.

Now, if we hear he can't be back April 5...THEN we have issues.

It seems like Danny and his doctors are really having a very intense darts game with the injury calendar tonight.  What did I hit? What did I hit? Is that a 3 or a 5?

Whats the point of even having Shaq come back before the playoffs only to risk injury yet again?

Let him build chemistry in the first round where our opponent is going to be terrible. Knicks/Bobcats/Bucks/Pacers are all terrible teams, Knicks are on a 7 game losing streak and are playing worse then the Celtics right now.

IMO Shaq shouldnt play a minute until the first round.

I went snooping around the Celtics medical facility last night and was able to video tape this exchange between the head of the medical staff and Jermaine O'Neal

They have been saying he is going to be back since early March. The Celtics are a disaster when it comes to communications about injury timelines.

Why keep paying attention to them. They aren't any worse than the rest of the league. You simply only pay attention to our situation.

Anyways, it seems like JO will be joining the team in Indiana, but he won't dress to play. I think more than anything it has to do with him being away from the team for so long than his inability to get in the floor, seems like he could be ready soon.

I'm anxious to see what JO can do.  If he can play like he did last year (which was only about 60% of what he was a few years ago), he will make up for much of what we lost with Perk on the defensive end.

Very interesting (and exciting) to hear that JO can now basically practice for the first time as a Celtic (!) without limitations! Hopefully he doesn't suffer any setbacks, I'm really eager to see him back, I'm confident he will be a big addition to the team.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I don't expect much from JO other than 6 fouls and decent defense. Every time I've seen him on the court this season he's looked like a rookie, unsure and lacking confidence. If I had to choose between him and Sheed, I'd almost take Sheed(No I still wouldn't take Sheed he sucks! but almost  :P.). Hopefully he can earn his contract in the play-offs, but I'm not holding my breath.

Has Shaq's return been pushed back from April 5 already? April 13?
