Second that ...

Thanks for the inclusion of the notice about Gene Shue, a solid player and decent coach.
His best team was the 70-71 Bullets (Wizards), with Wes Unseld, Earl Monroe, Gus Johnson and Jack Marin.
It was Johnson's last good year (17 rpg!) before his aching knees limited his career.
Gus was the legend from Akron before some kid named James showed up ...

The Bullets were swept by the Bucks in the finals.
Milwaukee featured then-Lew Alcindor, Oscar Robertson and Bobby Dandridge.
(Dandridge would later win an NBA championship in Washington with Unseld and Elvin Hayes.)

This guy looked like a tougher Christian Wood in that recent Suns vs. OKC game.

This would be a dream draw for us. Minny in round 1 and Utah/Dallas round 2

Only thing better would be Spurs first. We don't have to worry about Beverly doing something dangerous.

Yep, just can’t see Spurs winning two games on the road with 1 coming against Minny or LAC, but you never know.

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Fri Apr 08, 2022 9:48 am

I never count out Pop, and I can see them beating Minny, but not LAC.
