Utah Effort

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Utah will need this effort every game against the Bulls, who just as easily
won the first game. Stockton saved the day with Malone having an awful
shooting nite, nevertheless, found a way to score 21. 

This format of 2-3-2 games is not fair. Bird never liked it. If you split
the first two, your season could be over before returning home. I think the
next game Fri., will be the most important of the series. Down 2-0, the
Bulls may be done. A split and their re-energized for 3 games at home. 

Longley had the most fun, he had a smile going all nite. Pippen has that
look that he should be respected more, but isn't. This man should never be
a Celtic. Jordan, the God's gift to basketball, put up his usual numbers.
But low on his charts, 0-steals, and just 2 assists. He has generated 10
billion through the years in the economy. Who would be the super star if
there were no Jordan? It may be awhile before another surfaces. There are
many pretenders now. 

Look for unsportsmanlike acts from the Bulls Friday nite, if they get
frustrated. The menace Rodman comes to mind. He hates Utah, too many
Mormans. NBA fined him $50000 last year for remarks.
