Remember Charles Smith

Re: Remember Charles Smith

I blame Pat Riley for leaving his cold *** in when Hubert Davis was on the bench.

Pat should've told him to stop gunnin' it and give the ball to Ewing.

It's wierd, I wasn't sure who I wanted to win that series, as I wanted both Ewing and Olajuwon to get a ring. But Starks throwing up bricks in the deciding game kinda pissed me off. If your shot's not falling, contribute in other ways. Game 7 is not the time to keep shooting and hoping your shot begins to fall.

He should have but didn't. That has to be the worst coached game 7 ever. IIRC, Hubert Davis hit a couple of shots off the bench but was sent back quickly as Starks shot and shot and missed and missed. Of course had they called the fould in game 6 this is a moot point.

Re: In Memory of Charles Smith

I was so angry I didn't sleep that night. I remember it well because it was the same night as my Confirmation. My mom was cool with it, she let me skip school the next day because of all of the fair weather Bulls fans in my class. But then again in the 90's it seemed like 90% of the US population were Bulls 'fans'. I wonder where they went?

I'm still a Bulls fan. It's sad how people jump from team to team. I respect the fans that stick around through the good and bad times. loyalty is hard to find in these days of dick jumping.
