Game 4 bulls vs knicks 1993...wow the intensity in this game

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Imagine Oakley, Mason or Smith trying to guard Lebron,KD or Kawhi?

The knicks were my team...but damn, the lack of 3 pt shooting and athletic ability at small forward really held us back. Not to mention, a legit 2nd option.

I took that comment more as, look at how great and efficient Jordan was with basically no spacing. Now put him on a modern team with 3-4 guys BEHIND the three point line and driving lanes everywhere. No Bill Cartwright clogging up the middle.

Brehs putting Harden above Barkley to try and bolster the argument.

Role players back then seen worthless. Go watch that Bull series verus the Magic. If Shaq and Penny got any help from Dennis Scott or Nick anderson, the series would’ve been different.

3/5 of your starting lineup didn’t score. No wonder Shaq left for LA

That was the main issue when Orlando got swept by Houston. Shaq and Penny put up very good numbers, to match Houston’s big 2 in Hakeem and Clyde. But Houston kept having other guys step up, like Kenny Smith hitting all those 3s in game 1, Sam Cassell going ham in game 2, big shot Bob in game 3, etc....Orlando’s other guys didn’t step up like Houston’s did.

Just look at Orlando’s offense in game 2 outside of Shaq/Penny
