And yes, I was legitimately upset when the 86 Celtics blew the series with the 02 Lakers... 3 games decided by 2 points or less and they lose all of them? Come on, Larry!

Wow Jordan really defended the hell out of himself. I don't think he shot over 50% from the field even once in that Bulls vs. Bulls series.

re Bulls vs. Bulls,
The refs in this series did not get the Jordan memo. He didn't go to the line much at all.

Parker - They got the memo, they just couldn't call the fouls when Jordan was man defending Jordan. Personally I think 34 year old Jordan should have got the calls. He had seniority.

The universe is going to explode when the 91 Bulls play the 92 Bulls in the Pool D semifinal.
