Well, no more saying "wait for Shaq" in response to negativity, I guess.
It's reallllly not looking good, folks.
Why not? Having a setback doesn't mean he won't be able to play and endure in the playoffs. It's not a positive sign but it doesn't mean it's over by any stretch.
yea, he did look very good before that injury. 6 points in 5 minutes
Yeah, but he only managed to play 5 minutes before injuring himself again . . . and in a way that's not directly related to his previous injury.
Point being, it appears that Shaq is just too old to hold up much at all and actually be that productive in extended minutes.
Best case scenario is we can get 10 minutes a night out of him for 3-4 games in a given series.
