Subject: Re: Forwards in the East II

Gee, I am almost tempted to blast you, but what you said is true in a sense.
But the Bulls offense is unlike any other offense in the NBA.
The entire gameplan is to get the ball to MJ and Scottie in a good position.
And the rest of the team doesn't mind, niether do the fans as long as they
win (they can't help it with Jordan and Pippen staying healthy).
Also I don't think Pippen is your regular stereotype SF.  He does a bit of
everything and does it well and is a triple double threat whenever he steps
on the court.  Another reason for his high assists is that he does play
point guard when Jordan is off the court.  If I remember right, he even
played some PG in the Olympics.
The rest of teh Bulls guards are not in the same level, but they are not
bad by NBA standards.
John Paxson plays a great D and has a great jump shot when open and you
always have to watch for that pass to Pax from a double teamed MJ.  He
could probably score more points but that doesn't fit in Bulls gameplan.
BJ is a good shooter (his defense is not as good as Paxson's) and with
more minutes this season as a starter he's averaging around 12-14 pts a
game.  Actually some people were worried that BJs scoring offense would
upset the Bulls rhythm if he gets more minutes, but it seems to be fine
now.
BTW, Craig Hodges was cut this year and so was the other guard Hansen.
Trent Tucker and rookie Corey Williams took their spots.

But as long as Jordan and Pippen are fit and laying, anyone with a good
defense, rebounding would fit into Bulls gameplan (once they get used
to the offensive triangle) perfectly.

We know how to get our points and it shows. (though we lose sometimes
even on the days the GOD scores 50+).

	I too am surprised by the emergence of the Bucks. Kudos to Mike
	Dunleavy for an great coaching job. He is my early nomination for
	coach of the year(beating out Seattle's George Karl). 
	The secret behind Milwaukee's success can be linked to the play
	of Eric Murdock and Ex-Jazz Blue Edwards. I saw the Bucks game
	aginst the Bulls and was impressed by this Murdock guy. He
	had some nifty passes and had some good penetration moves. He was
	great on the defensive side of the court too, stealing the ball
	several times. Is this guy a rookie? Anyone know where he went
	to school(some college stats would be nice also)? I'm not surprised
	too see him among the league leaders in assists(3rd or 4th, I believe)
	as I think he's one of the better PG's in the Eastern Conference.
	Blue Edwards also was impressive(Why did Utah ever lose him?). I'm
	not sure whether he played 2guard or small forward but he had a
	good outside shot and was excellent in the transition offense.

	We'll have to wait and see if the Bucks can keep their wagon rolling.

Don't yawn so quickly!  Some high school freshman might be keenly interested
in that draft pick.  Obviously the Wolves must know something Detroit
doesn't.  They must be scouring the prep ranks right now for that special
player....

P.S. I finally saw that "Hare Krishna" Nike ad.  It was cool.  Anything that

Damn...nice trivia knowledge there.  I would have never gotten Thurmond.
But one mistake.  Hakeem had 9 assists the first time, and Houston stat makers
looked over the game searching for that one assist that would give him the
quadruple.  They found this "phantom assist" but real officials stepped down
on them for doing so.  Pretty funny.  He did do it for real later though.

Marciulionis alone would be too much to trade for Rodman.  Marciulionis
is a very integral component of the Warriors team, as demonstrated by
Golden State's slide during his absence.

While Rodman would help rebounding, the Warriors need some size in the middle
to block shots and provide inside defense.  If the Warriors are to give
up Marciulionis, I would hope they would get a true center out of it.

 Give him some kind of a break. It took the rest of the team almost a year to learn the "Triangle" offense. From what I've heard he has a decent to good mid-range jumper. But he's not gonna come in and give the team the spark that Cliff Levingston or Craig Hodges could last year. He has been improving by leaps and bounds the last couple games. While not scoring well he is starting to get the "feel" of the offense.

	Still, though, on a team where U have "scorers" like Blackman
	(OK, given he's injured), Charles Smith, Tony Campbell, and John
	Starks, you'd figure at least one of them could score more than
	Anthony Mason.

	True enough -- I think we'll see those other Knicks catch up in
	the scoring department as the season moves along.  But, of course,
	he isn't starting now -- Oakley and Campbell are.

Conventional r.s.b.p wisdom has it that depth
doesn't count for so much.  Is Westphal deli-
berately trying to establish a new mode of
play, a "Desert Showtime", which relies on
rotating fresh players from a ten- or twelve-
deep pool into an up-tempo game?  I cheered
for Westhead at Denver, briefly, 'cause I
like innovation, I like hustling, and I like
intensity; on the other hand, I also like de-
fense, so I wasn't sad when he left.  If
Westphal is intentional about this, the
sloppy play might be part of the plan; the
Suns can cope with it better than their op-
ponents.  Longer-term, the officiating will
adjust in the Suns' direction, *if they're
successful in the standings*.

This is all just speculation on my part; is
there any evidence for it from Arizona?

	As was discussed before/during the Olympics, I don't think it
	really mattered who was selected from the collegiate ranks to play
	in the Olympics, because he wasn't going to play much anyways
	(unless it was a blowout -- in that case, make that every game).
	There were strong cases for Shaq, Laettner, and Jimmy Jackson, but
	Laettner just happened to be the one to be chosen.  It's all done
	and over with -- why argue now???

Hey, you guys are confusing people here.  A.J. English and Alex English are two
different players.  A.J. is the former Bullet who now toils in Italy. He was
the division II player of the year a few years back and played at Oakley's
alma mater, virginia Union.  He is a small guard who can leap, but can not
run an offense.  All of you know who Alex is, I hope.  So let's not confuse the
two.
