    Don’t you think if O’Neal plays with that energy most games, Raps have a chance to be .500 and get a playoff spot ?
    Hopefully he brings it tonite vs Portland . A win, although quite a chore, over Portland would really give Raps big-time momentum ..

    They will need every bit of it. But they should never rely on just one player!!
