Per A. Sherrod Blakley's Twitter:

Doc Rivers said everyone - including Shaq - expected to play in Game 3 vs Heat on Saturday.

Well that's pretty much great news. Would've been great news you know...two games ago, but still...great news.

I'm not sure exactly how much Shaq will be able to play, or how he's going to impact the game, but at this point, with the way Joel Anthony has been quietly beasting on the Celtics, I'd be excited if Antoine Walker was suiting up to give the frontline a different look. Come on Shaq!
