It didn't look good that he was limping within 5 mins of returning, but will he be able to make it through the rest of the playoffs if the can limit him to 10 nmins a game?

I am going to say he will because he knows this is his last shot at a 5th ring, So Shaq is going to give the c's everything he's got.

Shaq is done. It was a helluva career though.

He was hobbled, but I don't think he really hurt us out there.  I'd like to see him continue to play.

Depends on how he feels after the game.  His cameo helped, as it strengthens the rotation at the 5....10 mins/game is all we need.

Shaq gets a day of rest and doesn't have to travel. No matter how sore he supposedly is right now, I think he'll be fine for Game 4 and beyond.

He will be sporadic through this series likely playing low minutes the rest of the way. If/when we make it through, he will gain a bigger and bigger role. I could see him playing a couple games, then sitting one though as well. He definitely looks injured still.

I think he will. I also think he actually looked bad (hobbled) in the first half but looked really better in the 2nd half, even like he was simply OK. he didn't have a great stats sheet but his impact was huge on both ends I thought.

Well, I think even with no practice and clearly a hobbled leg, he was still effective.  If he can play, and both recover and improve his timing and chemistry with the team, he could still help the team.  

I like him out there.  I'll take 10 minutes of him over 10 additional minutes of BBD and/or Krstic.

Tanguay and Donny bashing Shaq and talking about how horrible he looked. 

I don't get it.  Sure, he wasn't completely healthy, but we outscored the Heat when Shaq was on the floor.  He wasn't any sort of huge negative impact like you'd assume hearing those two idiots blabbering on.

Doubtful he makes it all the way through but I think Shaq can finish this series and that will be huge!

He looked better in 2nd half than he did in the 1st.  Hopefully he gained some confidence in his body's ability to hold up for 10-12 minutes.

I agree.  He took up space.  Scored a basket, got fouled.  He wasn't an enormous defensive liability.  And if he really hurts himself, Doc just needs to trot him out there and have him body slam LeBron or Wade on the way to the basket before he calls it a season.

I think he'll be fine...all we need from him is 10-15 min. His impact was huge tonight.

Man, I hope so. We are so much better right now with BBD's minutes limited.
