Bah-ha-ha-ha!  Andrew Lang losing his job to Manute Bol or Charles
Shackleford for more offense.  Oh man, you crack me up.  :-)

Lang's doing alright.  He's a good defender.  Shaq ate him for lunch
last night, but the same goes for all the centers around the league.

When Kevin hears mumblings, I listen.  What I have heard (third hand) is that
a certain ex-Timberwolf, currently playing elsewhere in the NBA, has said that
he didn't think Rodgers would last the season.  Of course, this same ex-Woofie
also thought that he would be in Minnesota longer than Rodgers would.

Speculation time . . . who would replace Rodgers in mid-season???

HELLO????  have you ever watched the Bulls offense?  I mean REALLY watched and
payed attention?  doesn't sound like it.  What is going on is passing, passing,
passing, by everybody.  practically everytime they are in a half-court set,
all the players touch the ball at least once.  Maybe Pippen and Jordan touch
the ball a little more than the others, but what the hell is wrong with that
when they are your two best players?  No talent at the point???  Excuse me
but every team can't have extreme talent at every single position.  Still,
there is nothing wrong with the way B.J. plays the point.  The offense is
what dictates the players stats.  The offense is built around Pippen and 
Jordan, yes, but the whole team is involved.  They don't have the "point
drives to the hoop and dishes off to the center for the slam" type offense.
They move the ball all over the court, working for the open man with the 
best shot.  

Not to mention a good number of assists come off the many fast breaks that
the Bulls get off their defense.  Nothing wrong with that either.

This is how the Bulls have been playing for a few years now, and you think
there is something wrong with 2 straight championships and a trip to the
Eastern Conference finals twice before that????  Nothing wrong there, I think
there is something wrong with your "passing thoughts" dude.

Just defending my favorite team (and many other's).

Have a nice day.

I think you're being kind of childish there.  Those were stats per minute
and they're very high, but he's also among league leaders without the per
minute basis.  Worst players in the league don't grab double digit rebounds
and rank in the top ten in blocked shots.

Eric Murdock was acquired along with Blue Edwards and the Jazz's 1st round
pick (which later turned out to be Lee Mayberry) for Jay Humphries and
Larry Krystkowiak.

Murdock played at Providence in the Big East.  He dramatically improved
his scoring in his senior season. He also set an NCAA record with 376 
career steals.  His yearly college scoring average was 10.7, 16.2, 15.4, 
and 25.6 ppg.  He was Utah's 1st round pick last year.  In his rookie
year, he played in 50 games, playing 9.5 minutes per game, and scoring
4.1 ppg, 1,7 apg.

Utah gave up Blue Edwards because they were stacked at small forward.
They acquired Tyrone Corbin last year from Minnesota and they liked what
they saw in 2nd year free agent David Benoit.  At the same time, they
were anxious to acquire a backup to John Stockton.

They are certainly a surprise team, and nobody expects them to make

Never nervous Pervis has a strained left knee. It doesn't sound 
extremely serious, and he should be back within a few games.

His game has been very lackluster, with him getting into foul
trouble most of the time. The Bullets really need him to be a factor.
Although I haven't seen any games, I don't think that Gugs is 
'taking' any of his shots away. Gugs has been getting more boards
though. 

The Post mentioned that the Bullets all of a sudden have 5 guys
who can score, Adams, Chapman, Grant, Gugs, & Pervis. What they
need now is some boards and D. 

Apparently, Overton is impressing much and often and it'll be 
a difficult call when Chapman and Pervis come back as to who 
gets cut. With the Bullets injury problems, this might become
a non-factor.

Title says it all. The Sonics were dominated by the Bulls in both ends last

midway through the fourth quarter. Yes, Seattle had a poor shooting night,
but the Bulls didn't shoot very well, either.

My question: How could the Sonics had a 5-1 before they met the Bulls?
