Re: Basketball and Why the Bulls Will Lose.

mike-i only really have one imporatnt argument.  it goes something like this:

THE BULLS WILL WIN.  THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN BASKETBALL.  IT IS 
EMPIRICALLY TRUE.

a couple of side notes....

these days, barkleys best skill is talking shit.  he will have to back it 
up, but we'll get to that below.

you are right...the bulls have never been able to handle teams with great 
centers.  those wins v the knicks, magic, lakers, HOUSTON...those were 
all my imagination!  do not underestimate the crybaby and the FREEAK!!!!

i must admit, it is hard to check someone who travels so much...the only 
thing worse is the shaq-offensive-foul-post-up move.

2 words:  simpkins or rodman.  shit, buechler could check chuck.  (just 
kidding on that one =-)).  is that the same fade away that he sometimes 
AIRS?  thought so.

ut oh-just got mail from justin about this post...hope he will play nice!

gotta give it up to clyde-he is the shit.  i wonder what your point is 
here?  let me summarize your "argument:"  mike will get 35 but be to 
tired to smile about it.  wow, you overwhelmed me there.  i think i will 
grant that one.  only thing i cant concede is a limit of 35 for jordan.  
drexler is savy, but not that savy.

oops, you forgot to trash pip.  who is going to check him?  yea right.

barkleys game is so far gone golf is a good idea...and he is a TERRIBLE 
golfer!

shaq being a big fat loser is inevitable.  if magic (yea right) and jerry 
west cant do it, the dream will?  shaq is a punk.  THE GIANT should come 
into the league...he would lock shaq down!

 he may be wierd, but he is a winner.  he will be coaching the nike-owned 
denver nuggets next year...pippen and jordan right behind...you heard it 
here first.  (actually, you may have read it in SLAM magazine, but i 
doubt it =-))
