I think that was the plan either way, they didn't have much of a choice

I tend to think that, but it depends really on the injury.  If the doctors are convinced that playing him on Sunday really doesn't hurt the healing process, it may be worth trying to get him 10 minutes to get him a run with the team.  

However, if there's any concern about him aggravating the injury, we might as well rest him.  He knows how to play with the starters.  

I can't wait for him to come back.  If the second unit has Jermaine (or Shaq), it won't give up leads like it does now.

Don't rest him at all, if he's able to play.

I'm not saying they should do something crazy, like play him 20 minutes or so, but if Shaq can play on Sunday, I say they give him a few minutes or so, 5 or 6 if possible.

Because, at the end of the day, if Shaq is supposedly close to a return as early as Sunday, and can manage a good 5 or 6 minutes, or at least a good 3 to 4 minutes, why not do that? Because, at the end of the day, don't you think it's a good idea he gets some on court time in a real game before a possible series against the Heat? I can't say if it's entirely the right thing to do, to not play Shaq until a potential Heat series.

I'm not saying Shaq couldn't perform perfectly well enough, or at full capability in any series going forward without getting some time in against the Knicks, but I think it can't hurt to do it, if he's able to.

YEP.......leave the BIG DIESEL in the GARAGE till the second round.

We need the NY sweep to let our old guys rest up and healup some more.

Let us PRAY for the Hornets to give all kinds of problems to the Lakers.
