Malone, et al
After the first weekend, the ballots are in: ROY, you guessed it--our
own Paul Pierce. It was unanimous. MVP--Charles Barkley (still the
best rebounder in all bb). Coach of the Year--whoever is at Detroit.
Really, I don't expect Barkley to keep it up, but I'm glad he can
still do it. Pippin is a great role player. And Malone, who doesn't
have a brother--certainly not Jeff--will likely be the real MVP,
unless NBC gives out the award to . . . Kobe.
Mercer is missed mainly because of his speed. We're too slow without
him. But with his blazing speed the whole tempo changes. I vote for
drafting a point guard right now, even though I expect Kenny to
recover and dazzle us again. Add Kenny, Mercer, Jones and DeClerq to
the team that won on Saturday and I'm still optimistic for this year.
Cheers, Gene
