Now we are really going to miss the playoffs.

I saw it coming when he dove into the stands again. I was like man, that is how you got hurt in the first place! I got to give the man his props, he was hustling the first time and he was hustling last night too.

Is it safe to call Shaq a "hustler" then?

I think he has to have a cool injury name like InDef... kind of like MosDef, or his cousin MosEisley.

You almost have to wonder if Wade is going to do the same thing in a little while. He's got absolutely no help on this team without Shaq (and even then, Shaq's clearly a shell of his former self). I've never wanted a season to end so quickly...

I don't care if they suck. I'd rather they drag it out. Without the Heat what else is there between now and NFL training camp? The NFL and NBA draft and a long 8 months

Damn, hope the big fella retires and we get some cap relief. Also D-Wade take the rest of the season off and work on your game and your hops. Riley call it quits or start drawing up plays for Dorell and let him do hes thing so we can find out if hes worth keeping or not.

Dude just retire already Shaq. You've proven enough over your career now give the Heat and yourself a break and retire.

Honestly speaking, **** Shaq.

How long can we run this losing streak? Shaq is out at least 2 weeks, but our schedule is tough anyway.

Rest of January:
Spurs
Indy
Boston
Orlando

Only Indy is a non playoff team and they flat out own us.

February:
New Jersey
Toronto
Detroit
Philly

First bad team that doesn't own us, but we get them on a back to back without Shaq and after Detroit.

Lakers
Denver
Chicago

Two playoff teams and need I explain how Chicago owns us? This is our run into the All-Star break. All playoff teams except 3, two of which have our number, the other on a back to back after the leading east team.

I could really see us getting to a 25 game losing streak. Especially if Wade shuts it down too. I assume we'll upset someone here or there, but that is a tough schedule to the AS break. we could conceivably be 8-43. Yikes.

I'm desperate for a win. The first win to end this losing streak will feel like a play off victory. I can picture players popping champagne and streamers falling from the rafters when it finally happens.

Time to sign TANK Johnson until the end of the season...TANK TANK TANK!

At least we won't have big expectations for next season.

I'm glad he's sitting out though. He recovers as I believe he's been playing with nagging injuries all year and our chances of a top draft pick improve!

I'd like to see Wade sit out too if he isn't 100%.
