Alaska was $1 in the thrift store. Figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Who wrote Sarum?

Rutherford   ...  wrote the London tome too.

Oooops, after a google, it's Rutherfurd.     My bad.

Once again the D did not show up in the first half.  74  points given up.

I watched to the end. They played slightly better and for within six a couple of times. But that was that. A couple of tough games coming up in Utah and Golden State.

Lookin' forward to watchin' as least half the game tonight.    I have fond memories of goin' to Utah and hittin' a Jazz game while there in the old Delta Center.    I can't tell you one player or coach on the current team.    Is Frank Layden gone?      :couch:

He's good. Especially at defense. May be the best in the league. Their whole team is good.

I was just checkin' the score.    It's the 4th and the score is like a previous half time score.    :)

Sloan  ...  one of my favorites.    Played on my favorite Bulls' teams.    I got to chat with him on one of my visits to Utah  ...   him and Rod Hundley.

Beal forgot he's no dribbler (play maker).

Saw one NBA game in Chicago...Sloan, Bob Boozer and Stormin' Norman were the big Bulls guns, IIRC...

Took three young kids (10-12 at the time) to meet some of the Bulls when they played the Bullets in the late 70s.     Funny story  ...  we were along the sidelines and the Bulls were doing their pre-game shoot around.    We chatted with Van Lier and a few of the other guys.    They were in warm ups  ...  shoot around stuff  ...  cutoff shirts, etc.    So, we get back to our seats a little later and the Bulls come out in their game uniforms.    The kids wanted to know when we were going to meet the Bulls.    They didn't recognize 'em in their game unies.

I forgot about Artis Gilmore...I was his body guard for a personal appearance in the mid/late 70's.  I don't recall anyone showing up...

He had a Pontiac Gran Prix.  The drivers seat was about where the rear seat should have been...

Watching the game, I got to thinking that the Wizards (more than any real good playoff team I watch) seem to lose concentration for extended periods.    Post season worries me.

I get worried for any DC team in the post season. It never ends well.

Trivia. Who was the other seven footer who played with Gilmore on the Jacksonville University Final Four team?

Close enough. Pembrook Burrows.  Always loved that name.
