No problem, except Horace Grant almost never decides to shoot the ball from
the post.  Both him and Cartwright defer almost exclusively to Pippen and
Jordan.  Grant is not a good post up player.  He's got a medium range shot
that he never uses and right now he's under double digit scoring because all
he gets are put backs (half of which he passes back out).  You talk like this
happens a lot and yet in the past how many years, Paxson has averaged about
8 ppg a game until the playoffs.  Then he's a bailout because defenses
totally collapse on Jordan when he enters the lane.

Kareem was an excellent passer, and Worthy is pretty good too (but not so much
from the post).  But when Kareem was an offensive focus, Scott was a nobody.
My point is more that I saw Magic draw the double team for 1/2 of the Lakers'
plays and hit either Worthy or Scott after the double team.  The other half
consisted of Worthy and Perkins in a straight post up.  Worthy was an awesome
post up weapon while Scott could do nothing but depend on others, Magic in
particular to hit him when he was open or off screens.

More Laker like than Worthy and Green?  Why is that?  He was there earlier
than Green, but I think he only posted starting guard type of numbers a year
before Green did.  Worthy was definitely a Laker before Scott was and unlike
Scott, he was always a star.

Personally, I don't see why Scott is getting such criticism this year.  I only
wish he had performed this well when Magic was healthy...his stats are way up.

That's because everyone looks at stats to judge defense.  "NY only gives up
90 pts/games therefore they play great D."  Never mind the fact that they
only score 92/game (numbers are fictious to show a point).  If you hold the
ball for 24 seconds each possession and never push the ball up the court,
teams aren't going to score that much against you.  The Suns gave up last
110 to Houston last night and played tenacious defense - they also happened
to score 133.  The West is quick and you need quickness to play good D.
Just because stats do show it doesn't mean shit.

Well, of course, any of these guys are available if the price is right.
However, it is doubtful that the Celtics have anyone that the
Warriors want, since the Warriors want big guys, especially centers,
and the Celtics are pretty short themselves of that commodity.
The Warriors might take a first round pick for Gatling or Hill,
but they would want a lot more for Owens.

The Post had an article about this the other day, and even Pervis admits
that he's not getting the job done (the Bullets have lost 7 in a row). 
The excuses include: 

	Pervis' knee has been bothering him and so he can't use one of his
	key advantages over other centers, speed. It also hampers his 
	ability to push people out of the paint.

	The new low post rules have adversely affected his game, causing 
	him to be in foul trouble a lot.

I would also suggest that the Bullets now have additional scoring threats,
that weren't around last year. This takes shots out of Pervis' hands.
Chapman is a scorer, Gugliotta is putting up 15 ppg, and Grant has been
pretty incredible as of late. With five guys who can score, its tough 
to get the ball, particularly when you're not playing that well.

I'll justify it from a rosisserie standpoint.  Yes, Jordan/Armstrong (read:
Jordan) *IS* what one would prefer all other things being equal.  However,
compare the above stat output with their salaries in an average fantasy
league (i'll use mine as an example).  On a $260 scale with nine teams,
Jordan and Stockton were protected from last year's non-salaried draft
($25.00).  However, other competent guards went for big money (Majerle
$33.50, Michael Williams $43.00, Mark Price $35.00, Terry Porter $31.00,
Mitch Ritchmond $48.50, Glen Rice $35.00) and so on.

My backcourt is the above-mentioned Harper/Jackson duo. I have Michael
Adams as a backup at guard.  For production in stats, we've already
discussed it - and Adams is MORE than an adequate replacement for Jackson. 
For salary, ALL THREE of these guys total $36.00.

Not a real NBA reasoning, but a reasoning nonetheless.  How old are these
guys, anyway?

Well, standing up to the front office and defying the party line are
the signs of a malcontent.  At least the way I figure it.  That doesn't
mean that he will take his grumbling ways somewhere else.  But anyway, I

What's with this influx of buttheads into this net?  I was into the game and
Ewing kept taking fallaway 20 footers with Perdue on him.  There's no doubt
in anyone's mind he could get better shots and draw fouls on someone who
gets no respect from the refs.  When the Knicks were having a bad season,
and Ewing kept taking passive shots, people accused him of playing below par
and trying to get traded.  I wanted New York to win and Ewing went on to shoot
30% against all world defenders like Cartwright and Perdue.

Just reminded me of last season when all inconsistent teammates, McDaniel and
Gerald Wilkins actually played decently, and Ewing...again failed to "get his
head under the basket" as termed by Pat Riley.  But hey, since you, sir seem
to know the godly word on basketball, why do you need to listen to anyone?

I believe the 'thesis' of the other responses to your post was that
Jordan and Pippen are the only 2 olympians complaining.  Stockton
fractured a leg, and Ewing dislocated a thumb *while playing/practicing
with the Dream team - neither one of them has talked about how drained
they are.  

The point is: 

     Both Jordan and Pippen ARE great players, but they don't work any 
     harder than the rest of the NBA.  In fact, I've read about Jordan's
     practice ethic leaving alittle to be desired from some of the other
     Bulls players.  The fact that they went one or two more rounds in the
     playoffs than most of the other olympians.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Jordan, Pippen or any of the
olympians playing heavy minutes throughout the games. Also, didn't Jordan
take off most of the pre-season to "recover" from the Olympics?
