Do you miss Shaq? (Updated)

Shaquille O'Neal has been sidelined since injuring his thumb against the Celtics on February 25. The Cavs won that game, and since have compiled a 8-1 record. The one loss came against the Bucks, without LeBron James and on the second night of a back-to-back.
- In those eight wins, the Cavs have scored 126, 124, 111, 97, 100,104 and 113 points.
- In those nine games, the Cavs were outrebounded three times (-1 against the Bucks, -2 against the Spurs and -8 against the 76ers).
Those numbers aren't too shabby.
- Also, in those eight wins, one was against a Raptors team that boasts the biggest starting lineup in the NBA, one was against Tim Duncan and the Spurs and one was against the Celtics, a playoff team. (The five four came against the Nets, Knicks, Pistons, twice, and 76ers).
See what I'm getting at here? The Cavs conceivably haven't skipped a beat since Shaq went down. And that is OK. Why? Because they acquired Shaq specifically should the situation arise when they face a playoff series against Dwight Howard and the Magic. In three games against the Magic this season (two Cleveland) wins, Shaq played Howard quite well.
Some reports say Shaq will return prior to the start of the playoffs in April. Some reports say he won't be back until the Eastern Conference semifinals, should the Cavs make it that far (good money says they will).
In the meantime, the Cavs should continue to play well with Anderson Varejao and J.J. Hickson manning the middle and will get Zyrdrunas Ilgauskas back later this month.
So, I'll pose my original question again: Do you miss Shaq?
I don't, but I'll be glad when he's back.
