Shaq Re-Injures Leg; Reportedly A Calf Sprain (merged)

Listen: my brother's neighbor's dog walker's brother-in-law thinks Shaq's out for the season.  I'm going with him over Danny and everyone else.

All the talk about Shaq needing to find his rhythm before the postseason and whatnot doesn't make a whole lot of sense... A big guy like Shaq, all he's gotta do is set screens, rebound, be a presence in the paint, and post-up. He should just sit out in the playoffs, too risky not to do so.

This is exactly why it was so easy for Perk to fit in at OKC.  All he had to do was set screens, rebound, play defense...

Whereas the Celtics have been trying to incorporate the varied skillsets of all these new guys like Jeff Green.  Come playoff time we're going to see a lot of special stuff out of this group.  I'm still on board with the trade ... as long as Shaq actually comes back.
