Shaq's Debut Overshadowed by Delonte West, Replacement Officials

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Bobcats, Cavaliers, NBA Referees CLEVELAND -- The Shaq show was overshadowed. Center Shaquille O'Neal made his preseason debut for Cleveland on Tuesday night, looking good in a 92-87 win over Charlotte at Quicken Loans Arena. But most of the talk after the game centered on Delonte West's continued troubles and Bobcats coach Larry Brown's frustration with replacement officials. A source said after the game that West will not be at Cavaliers practice Wednesday, and it's possible his absence could continue beyond that. The source said he will be in the Washington D.C. area Wednesday to address legal matters concerning his Sept. 17 arrest in Maryland after police said he was pulled over for speeding on a motorcycle while carrying two loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun in a guitar case.Shaq's Debut Overshadowed by Delonte West, Replacement Officials originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:45:00 EST .
