    This is terrible, he's one of the keys on the team that make them one of the best in the East. He provides their blocking power and defense as well as a great offensive addition to the game. Thank goodness you have Pollard around. He's not as good overall but provides blocking well enough. Hopefulyl he won't be injured too long, they're gonna need him.

    If he's only gona for a short time we should be alright. Harrington can step up.

    He hurt his neck. I think he'll be gone at least two to three weeks. Jermaine O'Neal was a key part to the Pacers' success, and his size and skill has led them this far. All I know is Detroit beter take advantage of this.

    He might not be able to play in the All Star Game, now.

    Damn, that's a rip. How did he suffer the neck injury? He's having a helluva season, hope he comes back soon.

    He is vital to the Pacers success. Hope he returns though, otherwise the Pacers second half of the season could be ugly. Now I think KMart will get his first all-star berth.

    it's really upsetting because not only will he miss a couple of weeks, but he'll miss his start in the all-star game. i know the game isn't important but j.o. needs all the exposure he can get and i was really looking forward to seeing him continue to get more respect than he has in the past.

    yeah, it shouldn't be too serious but it's yet another nagging injury to add to jermaine's list and it could bother him for the rest of the season even if it doesn't prevent him from playing. he was listed as doubtful against the lakers and didn't play, but the fact that he was even listed as doubtful is encouraging.
