An update on Shaq

Quote
As his teammates practiced at the AT&T Center yesterday, Shaquille O’Neal was at the Celtics practice facility in Waltham going through a private workout that included running and shooting.

But whether he returns for a regular-season game or waits until the playoffs is anyone’s guess.

“I don’t have any idea,” Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said after watching the workout by O’Neal, who is attempting to recover from a sore right Achilles tendon. “It could be a week or two weeks.

“I watched him work out, and he’s starting to do things on the court. We’re just still not sure of when he’s going to come back.

Hehe, April 5, eh? How many times do I have to repeat that he is done for the season for people to believe me?

Most of us are still holding out hope, and just refuse to believe that Danny was stupid / arrogant enough to trade Perk if there was a realistic shot of Shaq being out for the playoffs.

My guess is that Shaq misses the regular season, but that they try to play him in the playoffs.

I think they'll have Shaq play the last game or so of the regular season that the starters play.

I'm very interested in seeing Jermaine tonight.

I agree with this 100 percent. If the guy is just getting on the court now, there is no way he plays April 5. Also, remember that two weeks ago he accompanied the team on a roadtrip because Doc said he was getting close to returning and he wanted him to be with the team to start picking things up, etc. There definitely was a setback. I don't see how anyone can deny this fact.

So, he's at least working out, albeit privately? I'm not sure what to take from this. So he's healthy enough to work out, but not with the team?

Hmm...I'd actually wanna wait till April 5 and see what they say then.

]JO or bust hobbled and coming off knee surgery were in trouble.

Shaq will not give us anything.

I will be shocked if they don't put Shaq out there for a couple of games.  Shaq is willing to take a "needle" and go try it.  So I don't think the question is will Shaq play, as I am pretty sure he will, rather, what form of Shaq will it be.  If he is say 70% or 80%, he may not be any better than Krstic.

Who could've guessed that JO would come back before Shaq?  If he doesn't end up coming back Danny wins worst GM.  Seriously the trade would almost cancel out the 07 trade.

I am not surprised at all.  After Shaq got pushed back a couple times, I started expecting it to be closer to the playoffs.  JO was always on a pretty set timeframe after the surgery.

Of course now, I am starting to worry Shaq won't be back at all, but I don't think there was ever any hard push to get him back before the playoffs.

Murphy is coming back, too. So, at last, three available Centers at the same time! So long, small ball (I hope)!

celtics staff/doc are meeting with shaq this morning, and if he feels good, probably playing against the heat and traveling with the team.
