RE: mvp so far?

I did like Hubie's comment when Damon Jones was trying to pressure  him in
the backcourt saying "Kenny has seen this since the his days back in the
school yard without a lot of luck" or something like that.


The key to the Jersey series is keeping Kidd off the boards and busting out
on fast breaks like he did against Charlotte, and not letting Van Horn,
Kittles get easy looks, and getting some big play from the supporting cast.
Kenny needs to keep Kidd on the perimeter.

Call him Lazarus.  I figured Kenny was pretty much washed up, but he's
resurrected his career.  I've never been a big fan.  I thought that, with
Kenny, what you saw was what you were going to get.  Nowadays, Kenny's
playing defense (and you can keep a straight face when you say that), was
able to break his man down at will and thus penetrate effectively, and was
able to hit key jumpers -- and some not-so-key ones, too.  Very nice
indeed.  That, and one thing you could never say about Kenny Anderson was
that he didn't have a handle on the ball.  Maybe I wasn't a big KA fan,
but I am now.  And not from this game or even these playoffs.  He's been
doing it all year.

Now, Doug, had you placed the moolah on the C's in the Philly series,
maybe you'd have the cash to buy that radio now, huh?  Can't blame you for
timing a vacation at this time of year, though.  Who knew?
