No team that reaches the Championship Series is a dog.

It should be a very close, hard fought series. The Jazz may have a slight edge because of the extra home game, especially given the Bulls troubles on the road this year. The Indiana series was no surprise; they gave the Bulls fits in the regular season as well.

If the Jazz do win, it'll be in 7 games because Chicago isn't going to lose any games at home.

My prediction is that the Bulls will win in 6 games because they have Jordan and the Jazz don't. I think the Bulls can muster up enough energy to play 7 games in 2 weeks, if they have to.

I like the Jazz. But then I am put off by the Bulls.

Everyone from my era hated the Celtics just because they were so good.

I'm put off by the Bulls because I think Jordan should retire, that he is bad for the sport.

He challenges the referees, the refs usually give him his own way, .... I think B-Ball has to move on. How long is he going to claim center stage anyway?

Phil Jackson I could write volumes about. When the Knicks were whammin' and Jammin' with Reed, Frazier, Bradley, "the Big D'" and so forth Jackson was used as a hatchet man. Any Knick fan knew when Phil Jackson went in someone was going to get hurt.

Now, the fouls do not go his way and Phil complains. Phil was the hacker of the early '70s. Even my brother Jack who lives outside Chicago takes a breath when I bring up Jackson's hypocrisy.

Phil Jackson is not as bad as Ditka, But when he loses it's everyone else's fault. He does not have the class of a Bird or many of the others around the league. He never had that class as the 7th man for the Knicks either.
