heypartner... As I said earlier in another post, the strategy was sound by Riley. Francis has been on another level the last 6 games. Most defenses dont try to stop a "journeyman" over a top notch player. Its like saying teams should of paid more attention to John Paxson and less on Jordan. And if Rudyball was instrumental, and Riley sucks so bad in the 90's, and Rudy was so awesome. Someone tell me how Rileys team walked away with 8 straight before last night? Hey after going 0-8 and finally getting a win against another team is not the time to tout Rudy as the superior. Especially when there is no questioning the Rox superior teams for those 8 other loses. BTW: Take it easy man. Its a discussion. Not everyone is going to agree with you.
Dreamshake, Long threads to get to the bottom of bbs personalities is fun. Throw me your jabs, i don't mine. BBS smack. I was a Rudy basher myself, but I can see through the self-promotional machine that is Pat Riley. overrated! I've got to run now. I've got a meeting with my staff and I need to get a bucket of ice water to dunk my head in to teach them about commitment. [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited January 25, 2000).]
