From what Doc & DA are saying it looks like they are targeting a return for JO against the Spurs on 3/31. While Shaq has had another setback and won't be playing until 4/1 at the earliest...

In Response to JO before Shaq...who knew?:


They will both be back within a couple of games. The boot is so while he is shot up it reamains stationary so he doesnt do anything further.

The JO returning, is he going to be like the crippled player we saw earlier in the season?  Or a markedly better player.  If he is the player we saw in November he is no help to us.

JO is no good unfortunately.  I love Shaq and miss his toughness!  Without shaq and perk, and rondo playing like he is on dope and going through puperty, it's depressing to watch.

Why the heck can't rondo learn to shoot?  D Rose was not the best shooter but worked on it this past summer and now he will be the MVP of the league.  Can you imagine if Rondo could shoot consistently?  Wow, he'd be scary.     He needs to get of the roller skates and start practicing his shot.

Hopefully, Jermaine will be some help to this team when he returns and during the playoffs.  The Celtics can definitely use his size.  I still Rasheed hadn't retired and was still on this team instead of Jermaine.  At least he played most games last season and  was a great help during the playoffs last year.
