How will Miami perform without Shaquille O'neal?

Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:04 am

It is reported that the Miami Heat will lose Shaquille O'neal for 2-4 weeks. I know they have Alonzo as backup and he should be a 'decent' replacement, but there is still cause for concern. I just wanna know how well you feel the team will do over this period of time without Shaq.

i rekon about 50, but probly closer to 75. haslem, walker and mourning can share time in 4-5 (walker only at 4) so they should do ok. lets not forget they are still a crazy team.

They will do fine. Atleast it wasnt wade (Y)

It's just 2 to 4 weeks, nothing like that will afect the .500 mark. :|

Heat have 4 centers on there team. Shaq/Mourning/Barron/Dolec
Barron is developing solid, Dolec is a good back up.
They have plenty of scorers so that won't be a problem either. I think they will do worse when shaq comesback simply due to chemistry reasons.
Walker and Williams gotta shooot more now, but when shaq comesback its time to cut down.
Stan Van Gundy might look like his brother after this season because this coaching job is going to be one hell of a task

They'll still be the top spotted team in the East

Sat Nov 05, 2005 11:31 am

extremely well! because of D Wade! you heard it from me!

Sprained right ankle.

Hes only out for a few weeks, theres no reason for real concern

Sat Nov 05, 2005 12:32 pm

concern cause it delays the chemistry they need among themselves not to mention shaq being a leader for the new comers

Sat Nov 05, 2005 12:34 pm

This is a concern because Shaq is already injuried. This will probably be a long list of injuries this season.

Sat Nov 05, 2005 3:47 pm

hopefully nothing else serious happens because one thing always leads to the other.

i can already see it, 6 months ahead: "if Shaq/Wade was healthy then Miami would have won the NBA championship"

excuses excuses

Sat Nov 05, 2005 4:33 pm

Yeah. I'd rather he be healthy so people won't have any excuses

NO KIDDING. And Ron Artest probably placed his foot there for Shaq to fall on intentionally too.

I actually think he did. I saw the replay and he seemed to put his foot right where Shaq was about to land. IMO.

Sun Nov 06, 2005 1:20 am

How he got injured? How was the play?

You're kidding right? Please tell me you're joking.

Artest is going after Shaq now....that's gangsta, dudes really crazy :lol:

All Shaq can do is rebound and two-hand dunk. That's it.

Yeah, and he can dominate any player or any combination of players in the league today.

Yeah, it's not like he has good mobility or a dominating presence inside.
