News and Notes

Nov 5
C Jermaine O'Neal was sluggish on both ends against Washington. No, that's not the broken nose, but more likely having 14 seasons of wear on you and completing the first back-to-back of the season. It took him four taps to control his first rebound. As good as he looked in the first two games, he looked that off Wednesday. To his credit, O'Neal did stand in to take a third-quarter charge from Caron Butler, risking the shot to his nose. And he did hit a key late shot, as well as record a key late defensive stop. |

O'Neal had four points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes in Wednesday's win over Washington. Recommendation: On the second night of a back-to-back set and playing with a broken nose, O'Neal was not as active as he's shown earlier this season. O'Neal told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that the broken nose has impacted his stamina. "I've had a hard time the last couple of nights, breathing," O'Neal said. "Just trying to get that wind, I found myself having to work really hard." |
