    Shaq out 2 months. How does this effect the Cavs?
    I've seen quite a few Cavs games this year and am awful surprised that Shaq isn't coming off the bench and being used as more of a role player. The only times he should be starting are to match up with imposing big men, obviously Dwight Howard for one.

    He slows the Cavs down big time, you'll notice that he's always taking his time up and down the court and on alot of possessions he doesn't even move.

    Anyhow, with him being out of the lineup what changes are we going to see? If anything, I think he is/was the type of player that limited scoring on both ends of the floor.

    Everyone is looking at the game tonight with Detroit and leaping all over the Under 200. I almost think with Shaq out there will be some big numbers put up by the Cavs and they'll score 110-115. That means anything over 90 for Detroit and the Over is money.

    What does everyone else think?

      Makes no difference. Will improve there ft shooting %. Shaq is only there for Howard and no other reason. HE is fat and out of shape.

        Shaq had been playing great basketball just before he got injured. He was doing a great job on both ends of the floor. However, he does slow down the game some and the Cavs are better against the bottom half of the league without him. He is needed against the Magic and Lakers though.

            They've play the Raptors, Nets and Knicks without him...not exactly a great measuring stick.

                It definitely helps them. Shaq is dead weight.
