    This is what it said about this match-up in the Houston Chronicle...Brand had 24 points and seven rebounds in 36 minutes, but he could do little to stop the rout, scoring just eight points in the first half, when the Rockets led by as many as 26. He also needed help defensively on Thomas, who had 13 points, 10 rebounds and a career-best six assists.

    "Kenny Thomas had his way," Bulls coach Tim Floyd said. "We simply have to do better. There's no way we should have to go down and double on Kenny Thomas."

    Geez looks like we may be set at PF for quite a while, considering that he totally manhandled the guy deemed ROTY.

    The clock is winding down, and Scottie has the ball, Cato is sprinting towards him, Pippen shoots and here comes Cato. Man did you see that block?!!! Ouch it hit Scottie right between the legs. ITS FINAL!! THE ROCKETS ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF Y2K!!!

    Points say no, he didn't manhandle Brand. But the overall scheme and flow of the game may have told the tale. KT did almost have a triple double in roughly ten less minutes than Brand. They were double teaming KT, that's where he got his six assists from....good passes out of the double team. We didn't double Brand as much, although we did double from time to time.

    someone told me that Najera
    would have dominated Brand.
