    They will just lose when he is gone and God willing he will be back to normal when he comes back and they can still make the play offs.

    The Heat are the worst team to win the NBA championship ever. Shaq is beyond the point of age and treachery being effective. The commissioner wanted to make sure that the heat got a couple of wins and then Dallas choked once the officiating returned. The heat will not make it to the eastern conference finals whether Shaq plays or not.

    How actual some human beings overlook. Shaq remains the 2d perfect midsection in the NBA, and on a stable nighttime he'd mop the floor with Yao Ming. undergo in innovations, because of the fact starting to be a member of the warmth he's averaged 20 factors in only half-hour according to interest. in case you in effortless terms performed Shaq a million/2 of the interest (24 minutes) he'd nevertheless be stable for 15 or sixteen factors. it relatively remains greater proper than ninety 9% of the centers in the league. you do no longer would desire to get rid of him, only play him constrained minutes to maintain him healthful for the playoffs.

    Basically, Alonzo Mourning will take Shaq's place as the teams starting center. You can also expect Michael Doleac to get more minutes (Doleac was kept on the roster with that thought in mind as due to the age of Shaquille and Alonzo, the possibility of injury was high).

    D-Wade I guess will also have to bring his game to yet another level in order to keep the proverbial Heat ship afloat until Shaquille returns from injury.

    Hope this helps.

    they won't do brilliantly dwade will play to the max every game as that's the way he plays shaqs abig loss, mourning's a great backup and i'm sure he'll come out flexing his biceps. I reckon they'll go 50-50 with winning the games. This may sound drastic but i realy think the awnser is to trade antoine walker get someone a lot better than walker, they have to do something i realy don't think there going to repeat as champs

    Well you know how much a team will miss a guy who shoots over 50% from 3 feet away from the net. And you can't forget the astounding free throw rate he also has, simply flawless.

  • I dont think they will do so good. Dwade is really tired and his game isnt that good and then having shaq gone. GOD HELP THEM!!!
