The answer to your first question is no. SHAQ is actually taking it easy. Everyone knows SHAQ doesn't play a full season anymore. He's not washed-up. Just having SHAQ on the court is enough. Just the threat of him dunking on someone is enough. Think about it. SHAQ is 34+ and yet still draws a double team, hell sometimes he gets tripled teamed. And you ask is he washed-up? No way. He's not the younger, nimbler SHAQ. But he can still get you 20 and 10 if guarded straight-up. But who will be silly enough to guard him straight-up on a game-bygame basis? No one!!!
Wade cannot do it alone. No one can win a title by himself. Flash can work alone but the team would be what you see now, sub-five-hundred.

He isnt washed up because his presence on the court still calls for a double team and that will always make the players around him better. But, he needs to be on the court in order for that too happen. We will see how he does coming of this injury. Will he ever be as dominant as he was in years past? Absolutely not.
Can D-wade do it alone. No. It really depends on how the team around him is doing. Could Kobe do it alone? No. Can Lebron do it alone? Paul Pierce? Vince Carter when with the raptors? See a pattern.
A single superstar really cant ever do it alone which is why with Championship teams in this day and age, they have one common piece...A dominant big man! (Duncan, Shaq etc..)

Miami isn't the same without Shaq. Hopefully they can get him back in the lineup because he's an inspiration to his teammates. Wade will continue to score points, but that's not what it is about...it's about winning and Shaq gives them the best chance. Fortunately, it's not that bad with Mourning on the team...

As much as people would like to hear it, Shaq isn't washed up. Right now his lazy *** is on vacation. There is nothing wrong with Shaquille O'neal yet he sits there in the suit as Riley preserves him for the latter part of the season. It would have to be December 25th 2006 every night in order for Wade and the Heat alone to be serious contenders for a title. I don't think he quite has that mind set. Skills, yes...mentality NO!

Shaq is washed up, maybe should have retired after last season. Wade can't carry the team alone.

shaq is a dominant force, maybe a little washed up but flash cannot work alone!
he has no back up, he needs anotehr good player to step up, not saying an all star to come to the team but
kapaono, walker, posey, payton, williams alll need to step up!

Shaq is past prime but will never admit it; 1 players has never won anything, you have to have a great supporting cast. Ask Jordan,Magic and Bird.

IDK, but whatever happens.....shaq needs to be in the line-up asap, so that they can start playing good before the all star break and get going for a good chance for the finals.

FLASH NEEDS SHAQ IF THE HEAT ARE TO REPEAT.
