Did anyone else see the sportscenter today when #33 is talking about the matchup with the Lakers. He says something about how the focal point of the series won't be him vs Phil, but really the Blazers vs the Lakers. Duh!! I am missing something or has anyone ever said the key to the series is #33 vs Phil? I'm probably overreacting but he just drives me bonkers! Oh yeah #33 - if that is the focal point, then I'm sure Phil will shut you down! ------------------
Pippen didn't fit in that offense that your coach was running. Now Pip is flourishing and will hit more big shots before the playofs are over. ------------------
Yeah Blaze33- Pippen sure is flourishing with his 12 points and 6 rebounds a game. That's even WORSE than last year! What an overpayed selfish punk. Just because he made a couple of shots at the end of Game 5 doesn't excuse him from 3 straight games of 5, 6, and 4 points. Any team leader does not have games like the ones above, and especially not 3 in a row. If that's what you call flourishing, we have several players who can score 15 points a game now and then but many times score 4-6 points. Would you mind trading us 6 more players for them? ------------------
Pip has only flourished when he had MJs jock to hold on to. Oh Blazer fans it's great that you know that you can't beat the Lakers straight up, so you go to the hack a Shaq with 5 minutes to go. Brilliant strategy! As long as Shaq hits artound 50% it is as effective as the Lakers regular offense (assuming Laker team FG% is below 50% and there is an equal chance of getting on offensive rebounf on a FG or FT). Also why don't you taks Sheed and put him on medication. He is a great talent. As a matter of fact he was the only player man enough to not foul shaq on purpose. Oh I forgot, he was already sitting in the suana in the back! The biggest shot Pip will have in the Laker series is his continual fouling of Shaq. I'm so glad the best team Pip has ever played on is going out against the Lakers. Blazer fans I don't honestly hate you I just hate your self proclaimed leader. ------------------
Which is gonna be much sooner than you had expected.....bwahhahahahhha.... [This message has been edited by MoonDogg (edited May 22, 2000).]
