    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">EL SEGUNDO, Calif. ? Shaquille O'Neal was listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and Lakers forward Karl Malone will likely sit out games next week against Minnesota and Denver.

    O'Neal left Friday night's 111-109 loss at Seattle in the second quarter because of a strained right calf and did not return.

    "Shaq came in and got treatment," team spokeswoman Alison Bogli said Saturday. "They'll look at him tomorrow."

    O'Neal, averaging 20.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots, missed two games in late November because of a similar injury. The Lakers didn't miss him, beating Memphis 121-89 and Washington 120-99.</div>


    Hopefully Shaq will come back and play Sunday, we will need him.

    I'm kind of hoping Shaq doesn't play. The lakers are gonna make the playoffs anyways...I mean, Shaq can afford to miss a couple of games.
    This will give some of the young guys a chance to get in and get some action, and maybe it will also be a chance for Kobe to finally get his game together...

    True, this can show if Kobe can play by himself. It was ugly last year, but it didn't look too bad last night. It was fun to see him take over a game, if Shaq doesn't play, we'll see what Kobe and this team can do. I personally want Shaq to play, because I don't like to see my teams lose, not that we still won't put up a fight without him, we just have a better chance with him.

    Does not matter, we can get our ass handed to us for doing that. Please fix this and give credit to that site for the story or it must come down.

    Hopefully it wont be to serious. Kobe and Payton can still give teams a run for there money, but it would be much easier or them if Shaq or Malone was in there.

    Without Shaq and Malone, it will be a very close game. It all depends on how Slava plays... Go Lakers!
