"Reserve center Shaquille O'Neal is doubtful for tonight's Game 5 vs. the Miami Heat with the same Achilles injury that's kept him out for most of the latter part of the season.

"I will say I doubt it," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said when asked if Shaq would play. "I don't know yet today. That little stretch of the game it got worse."

O'Neal has only managed to play in little stretches in two playoff games for the Celtics, so it's not like much will change. The Celtics have been and will continue to operate largely without Shaq. O'Neal played just four minutes in Game 4 after playing eight minutes in Game 3. Nenad Krstic did not play for the Celtics in Game 4, so it's possible he'll get some time tonight unless Rivers decides to stick with Jermaine O'Neal or go small.""
