Cleveland game

[DJessen33@aol.com]

I watched the Cleveland broadcast last night and the announcers, one being 
Tim McCormick (former 76er stiff -- oxymoron), that provided some excellent 
analysis. First, Tim first scoffed at Tommy H for saying that VP was already 
one of the top 10 centers in the league. The another announcer pointed out 
that Matt Guokas, the normal color guy, agrees with Tommy. He pulled back 
alittle but felt that getting Andre Miller for VP was a steal. He later said 
that the Cavs just need to get a big guy for the middle in the 
draft....Ok....Good luck. That's kind of like why we traded for one...Talking 
about Pitino---he had a nice story where working with him in an AAU camp. He 
said not long ago, Pitino would take on hot shots like Patrick Ewing and 
Michael Jordon and beat them one-on-one and embarass them in front of the 
rest of the campers. (I guess this was before they were really good). He said 
Pitino used to be an excellent player. But anyways, his point being that when 
you do fundamental things, you can beat people that are superior 
athletically...Point of the Night from Tim: College teams are a personna of 
the coach. NBA teams are a personna of their best players. You see are 
problem...Tim was quite impressed with Walker on a few offensive moves, 
calling one an All-star move. He should have added "veteran" <g>...Tim said 
he really didn't see how Anderson fit in with this team since it really needs 
a defensive minded point guard. He praised Anderson a few times but added it 
was just for his "offense"...Tim's nutshell analysis of the Celts was that 
they got one of the best scoring duos in the league with Pierce and Walker. 
The Celts are poor on their interior and perimeter defense and have no real 
inside scoring. He said their perimeter defense is hurt by their lack of 
interior defense. (Hello Dale Davis).....
