    Shaq went down grabbing his knee against the Bulls. He couldn't even walk on it and hobbled off the court, not sure how serious it is yet.

    UPDATE: X-rays were negative, it's a left knee strain, and Shaq will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

    Shaq is having x-rays done right now, there is currently 9 minutes left in the 2nd and I assume they'll give us an update during half time.

    Wade is absolutely taking over the game though.

    great analysis [​IMG] stating the obvious.

    but it doesn't really matter, as long as hes okay by playoff time, the East (minus Detriot) has no chance.

    As long as it's nothing to serious the Heat will be okay. If they lose the Big Fella then Detroit is going to run wild in the East. If it's just a knee strain he should be able to play with a knee brace. But i'm no doctor so we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Keep us updated though.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This could hurt the Heat a lot depending on severity....</div> I dont see how it will hurt them at all other than maybe losing a few more games than they would have won originally,which is pretty much meaningless.Theyre too far ahead in their division to not get a top seed and its not like they wont have shaq for the playoffs.Still have home court advantage,still probably the team to beat in the east.

    Hopefully Shaq is OK.

    I was listening to the game on the radio and I freaked out when I heard Shaq was injured.

    Alonzo Mourning will be joining the Heat A.S.A.P.

    IT'S OFFICIALLY D-WADE TIME.

    I didn't know how severe it was or anything, I didn't see the injury..if he tore any ligaments then he is done for the year, basically killing the Heat's chance of winning it all, but it doesn't look that bad..

    Next time bring something objective to the discussion or stay off of it.
    You wouldn't like someone to go and rant on the Lakers forum when Kobe is injured, would you?!

    Anyways, knee strains usually take a while to heal. Let's just hope he could be ready two weeks before the playoffs.

    Ouch
    Now D-Wade will have to step up and fill the biggest void on the team. Let's hope that he'll do that just fine. Oh anyone know who's the player that has the last week in Heat uniform this week? I read some articles that someone is guaranteed to be traded but didn't name who...

Shaq is everything he hates about Kobe and him going down is Karma, thus the quote along with words for Shaq. Do I wish injury on him or happy he twisted his knee? Absolutely not. I just want to see how he handles this injury adversity. Let's see if he takes a few games off on company time now, since he got injured on company time.

    From the liveupdate, seems like Wang is doing a good job filling in. 11 points on 5-6 shooting. Put this guy ahead of Doleac already!!! [​IMG]

    Heat fall to the Bulls without Shaq. 105-101 in OT.
