LeBron James has taken much of the heat for the Cavaliers' lethargic starts in two games against the Boston Celtics. But James has a big partner in crime. Shaquille O'Neal, the Cavs' 7-foot-1, 325-pound center, has hit a combined 1-for-7 in the first quarters of Games 1 and 2 and is just 8-for-22 from the field in the series. And none of O'Neal's misses in the first 12 minutes have come from farther than 6 feet. The series is tied 1-1 as the Cavs head to Boston for Games 3 and 4 on Friday and Sunday. And while there seem to be woes aplenty on the Cavs' side, including James' sore right elbow and Anderson Varejao's back spasms, O'Neal cannot escape scrutiny. http://www.ohio.com/sports/cavs/92923974.html
This is a terrible match up for Shaq. The Celtics have one of the best post defenders in Perkins and he doesn't need double team help. Celtics can run a lot of pick and roll against Shaq and get easy shots.
