Who did Chicago beat for the 6th championship? If it was Utah, then you must be right about Bryon Russell. Either way, MJ got away with fairly obvious PUSH, but that's because he was who he was. The one other lesson Sacramento needs to learn is to QUIT WHINING to the referees. They will NEVER go in your favor if you get in thier face all the time. The Lakers hardly disputed a call in the entire series, and they never got in the ref's faces about it when they did complain.[/QUOTE]the 5th and 6th both were against the jazz,and MJ practicly got away with anything, he was and still is possibly the biggest trashtalker in the game. He called it: getting in the opponents head, and that was exactly what he did. Remember the finals against the sonics ? At a certain point he got in payton's head, and from that moment the sonics were lost. He also did these kind of things with the refs, and it worked too, sometimes they just didn't dare to make a call against him anymore. He wasn't just the best player, he was also the smartest.

I think it's a common thing to get bored when one team dominates a sport for several years.
It didn't happen too much with the Celtics and Lakers that I mentioned previously because they traded the NBA title back and forth and the games were always exciting. It becomes boring when you get a team like the Bulls or current Lakers that are just SO much better than the competition that they basically Bulldoze through everybody. I do agree with you, Milamber, that the Western Conference Finals were 7 of the most exciting games I've seen in a loooooong time. I don't think ANY of the 7 games were decided for certain until the last minute of the game --- then Game 7 goes down to the last few seconds of Overtime...it doesn't get much better than that.

i didn't get bored with the bulls, not that i'm a bullsfan, it's more that i am a MJ adept. I have lots of tapes and books about him, i just can't get enough of MJ i gues, not even now that he is a wizard.

I think bored maybe isn't the right word. Irritated, or unhappy maybe, but not bored. The last few games have been some of the best I've ever seen.

Well speaking of the Bulls-Jazz, I cant remember with game it was, but it was the game winning shot, and if anyone remembers, it can be realated too the game six shot of the lakers-kings, I think it was MJ, maybe not, he shot the ball and the clock was clearly gone before the ball even reached the rim.
Malone should have a ring.
