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 ?
- Chas CalzHopefully 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!!
