Despite traveling with the team (a good sign), Shaq will miss tonight’s game (a bad sign). Are bruises always that tough to recover from? (Hint: no.)

P.S. – Is anybody else down with the following plan? Play Rondo until Delonte West returns, then let Rondo rest for a week or two. Plantar fasciitis is a nagging injury that can harm players for entire seasons. Why not give him some rest and let him recover?
