    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">INDIANAPOLIS -- Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal likely will not play again this season because of a shoulder injury he sustained nearly two weeks ago.

    Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said that doctors are still waiting for the swelling to subside and that no decision has been made on whether the All-Star forward will need surgery.

    "We have to go on the idea that he's not going to be here," Carlisle said Tuesday. "That's how we have to approach it. We can't be hanging our hopes on his return. It's going to be awhile if he comes back at all."</div>

    Great.

    Now the only person we have left is Reggie. Him and the rest of the Pacers are really going to have to step up to get an 8th spot. I don't even see that happening the way things are. The Pacers are going to have to try just to even break .500. The Pacers really needed this.... This is Reggie's last season...and we couldn't get a ring for him.... I don't think we will ever get a championship this decade...
