Will Shaq Return?

 
WALTHAM, Mass. – When Shaquille O’Neal hobbled off of the parquet floor in the second quarter of Sunday night’s game at the TD Garden, it felt as if the worst imaginable outcome had played out during his first game back from injury – season over.
As we learned shortly thereafter, his night was over, but his season certainly was not. The injury has been classified as a minor right calf strain, and that description was music to Doc Rivers’ ears because it didn’t include the word “Achilles.” O’Neal had missed the last two months with an Achilles injury to the same leg, and the last thing the Celtics wanted to see was their center reaggravating that longstanding issue. 

Glad to hear it's only a minor calf strain and Shaq will return to the Green & White.  I said this from the beginning of the year that it wasn't such a good idea to have Shaq on the celtics, given all his injuries the past few years and him switching teams faster then 50 cent can switch beefs.  But now without Perkins, we desperately need that big man force under the hoop more than ever.  Jermaine Oneal is back and is starting to man up again and Garnett/Big Baby can't hold it down by themselves.  We need Shaq hands down for these playoffs and Kristic is a beast with the rebounds but he's not strong enough to stay under the hoop. Any word on how Kristics MRI on his knee went the other day?

Anyways, get ready for the Chicago Bulls to host the Celtics tonight at 8PM in a game that has a big impact on the race for the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference.  The bulls are currently 3 games ahead of the Celtics.
