Organization: Amiga Network Information Systems

Tonight a strong balance of players all contributed to a Bulls win over a
recently feisty LA Clippers club at the Stadium. BJ Armstrong had 20 points,
one of his best efforts, easily breaking down his old rival Gary Grant on the
full court press and driving to the bucket like a good point guard should. the
Clippers look strong under Larry Brown. Manning is playing a strong game,
hitting his jumpers (we knew he could do that) and pounding the boards (we
were not so sure about that until recently) and Harper looks healthy and
strong at small forward, driving to the hole and creating real problems with
matchups. But, in the end, there was just too many talented Bulls rotating in
and playing well, esp. Scott Williams who looked real good.
 
On the other hand, the Pistons got utterly destroyed 119-85 and Ledell Eckles
looked like he had a field day out there. When the Bulls win impressively and
the Pistons lose by 34 points on the same day, that day was a very good day.
Maybe these two teams can meet again, and the Bulls get out the brooms for
another sweep. Pistons would probably just walk off the court refusing to
shake hands, once again.

I think it is a mental thing.  They have improved on the road this year though. 
I don't know the records, but this year they are at least in most of the games
with a chance to win at the end.  They lost to Milwakee and Cleveland by 1,
they lost by 5 at Golden State, an OT loss at Phoenix, by 1 at Portland, etc. 
Last year they were generally out of most of the games by the start of the
fourth quarter.

It has to be mental.  They have lost at Dallas, Denver, twice at Minnesota, at
Miami, and in OT to the Clippers after having a 19 point second half lead.

Give the Jazz a year or two. Let Corbin and the four rookies play with the team
for a year.  They'll win those close road games and road games against the 
cellar dwellers next year.  And they'll have a couple great years.  If they
don't do it by then, K. Malone and Stockton will be over the hill and it will
require a few lottery years to get back to this level again.

Come to think of it, the Jazz would have no problem winning 70 plus in a season
IF they couldplay them all at home :-).

    I'd be interested in hearing (reading) some opinions
    on Dee Brown, especially on the subject of 
    Dee Brown vs Sherm Douglas vs John Bagley.

    Who should the Celtics go with short term (playoffs)?
    How about long term?


The Celtics should go with John Bagley with Douglas backing him up at point.
Although Dee has enormous potential at either point or shooting guard, it
has become apparent in the last 3 weeks that he isn't ready to lead the
offense. While Bags has had his problems with defense all year, he has shown
that he can dish out assists at an unbelievable pace (assts/minute) for
someone like him. He doesn't score as much as Dee, but the team has plenty
of go to guys. Besides, when Bags does decide to shoot, lately it is at the
right time and has given the team a great boost. Even when he screws up, it
just looks like a "can't win em all" mistake. When Brown screws up, he seems
to look almost dumb, like he doesn't know how to dribble or when NOT to take
a shot, for example. Given time, this will change. As everyone knows, he is
no idiot, even if he does look like one right now.

I'd also go with Douglas as the backup. He also produces a lot of assists in
a short time (I think it was 6 assists in 9 minutes the other day) and his
penetration is a killer. When Brown penetrates, it seems like he is losing
a little lift...just enough to get blocked, or in one case, stuffed by the
hoop itself.

I would still use Brown as a backup to Reggie "Looowis" at shooting guard,
and in some situations, I'd move Reggie to small forward and keep Dee in
just so both players can get meaningful minutes. All of this assumes the
virtual elimination of Joe Klein at power forward, and a reduced role for
Fox when Bird returns.

Go Celts!

Oh I see.  Portland shouldn't have played Clyde and Terry.  They should have
left one of them on the bench to gamble on Petro's improvement, eh?   No
wait.  He couldn't play the point so it couldn't be Terry.  Ah, I see they

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Michael Williams of the

in steals and one of the top point guards in the East.

Actually, doesn't really hold for Magic either.  Remember that the team has
been without Divac for a good part of the season and Worthy has been out
for quite a while as well.  They have had to deal with a lot of changes this
year, not just Magic...

Sorry about the last post.  
Jim Oliver says the Jazz are predictable. That should be a 
taylor made situation for Nelson and the Warriors.
You can predict that the Mailman will deliver 10 points
above his season average of 28 points.  You can predict 
a Jazz victory in 4 or 5 games. You can predict that 
Utah's offense has no need to change in order to beat
the Warriors. But the predictability of the Jazz offense
will not help Nelson.
Last Monday Nelson tried to stop Malone using five players
(Lister, Hill, Alexander, Gatling and Askew). They all failed
to stop the Mailman from delivering 42 points in 36 Minutes.
I will give Nelson some credit for trying to incite Malone
in the early of the game. Lister used bear hugs in attempts to
stop Malone, and did draw a technical from Karl as he pushed
Lister away. But Malone cooled down and calmly sank 20 of
24 fowl shots, while the Warriors fouled him an incredible
26 times.
So predictable or not, the Jazz are big trouble should they
meet the Warriors in the playoffs.
On the other hand, the Jazz seem to have trouble with the
Sonics. Losing 2 home games to Seattle.  That is scary 
because Utah has only 4 losses in the Delta Center.
IMHO the playoffs this year are going to be very intense
and unpredictable.  Unless, of course, the Jazz meet the
Warriors.

	The Celtics. They currently lead the season series against the Pistons
3-1, with only one game left between the two teams.

	The Celtics also hold the tie-breaker advantage over the Knicks, if they
happen to finish deadlocked for the Atlantic division. Celtics fans are *really*
going to enjoy watching the Pistons/Knicks game on Sunday!!!! (Gee, who

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! What kind of fools do you take us for? First class?
Practice what you preach, dude! If you were sincere, you would have confined
your respose to email!

Yeah, right! *Any* discussion, especially this one, right?

At least you got that part right! Too bad that wasn't the subject of
the thread!

Speaking of irrelevant, the discussion was about AIDS ignorance before it
turned to IQ and ingnorance. But you don't really care, do you?
You just want to flaunt you BFD 157 IQ, don't you?

We'll use your display as proof of that rule! :)

Yes sir! Major, sir! Hee-hee! Yours is as blatant an attempt to rub
an IQ in someone's face as I could ever imagine! At least we quoted
from preivous posts! If we want to make fools of ourselves and brag
about IQs, that's out problem! Don't play holier than thou!

And remember in my post when I mentioned how mine was actually a bit
higher than 140? Well the last time I was tested it was 170.
I don't take much stock in IQs, but I think you do!
So chew on that! *170*!

If I was playing a lottery in which I had 1 in 66 chances of winning
50 million dollars I and any other sane individual would be ecstatic.

The lakers are an organization heading towards the bottom of the league.
Worthy is old--he won't last much longer. Same for Scott.
If not Shaq, then how else are they going to turn things around? Well??????

Looks like the lakers are doing a good job of putting themselves in postion
to win a lottery pick. If they do make the playoffs the only question will
be can they avoid a sweep. Not against Portland they can't.

> quote by an unnamed individual "Shaq will play for whatever team drafts
him."

Wow!!!! What an insight.

So does anyone out there have any stats to say which team has the best
defense?  I'm not at all satisfied with avg points per game against,
and I'm not too sure about field goal percentage against, either.
Maybe average points per possession against?  Does anyone keep track
of such things?
