    I loved that Bullets team that played the Bulls in the first round one year. I was rooting hard for that team to knock the Bulls out in the first round.

      They couldn't stop Mike from going off on them though. There were times where they were just totally helpless

                    Yep. Smith dropping 30 something on MJ and then MJ dropping 40 something on him in the first half the next night.

                    There was more to it but I don't remember.

                        I wanted the Jazz to win so bad. I was a very bitter man for a few weeks after that especially seeing that MJ clearly pushed off.

                        Wasn't his flu game in that series or the '97 one? That game was completely out of this world. I had hoped that Utah would be able to win....

                        but NO! The amazing Michael Jeffrey Jordan reached deep into his guts and found a way to score 38 points and lead the mighty Chicago Bulls over the Jazz of Utah and absolutely destroyed their confidence!


                        EDIT: yep it was '97. Oh well I liked my Cosell impression at least

                          I'm still pissed Miller didn't get a call for that push on MJ.

                            Miller's push off was much worse than Jordan's "push off".

                            I pretty much hated both teams but by that point I was all for MJ adding to his legacy and greatness. Malone and Stockton were two of my least favorite players from that era, especially Stockton.

                              have to agree here 100%... the jazz were a dirty team and it wasnt a mystery how the refs played to the home team in Salt Lake

                                That wasn't a pushoff Like Reggie didn't push off on Jordan in game 6 of ECF to hit the game winner.
