					<description><![CDATA[Even with the bad hip, Willis was able to use his strength to keep Wilt from getting all the way to the basket before the double-teams came. In todays game where 5&#039;s need to be more mobile, no way he could have played.

The hand-checking was so good to see, I wish they allowed more of it today...]]></description>

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-697605&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;GoNYGoNYGo&#032;&#8211;&#032;Ready&#032;for&#032;&#050;&#048;&#050;&#048;&#032;Knicks&#032;&#050;&#046;&#048;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: He should’ve won the MVP, even though it was the “Willis Reed game”.
Frazier wasn’t just good, he was ideal. He did everything you want a point guard to do. On offense he organized the team on the floor. He broke down the defense driving the lane. He was 2nd in the NBA in assists and made his teammates better. He could could hit a jumper from anywhere on the floor. He was money at the line.On defense he shut down his opponent. He had quick hands and was a ball thief. More than anything, he was calm and cool.
That’s what I want at the point. He spoiled me.


&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Agree. Willis was a sentimental choice
 First time I watched the game since I had the good fortune of attending. Clyde&#039;s basketball IQ was Mensa level. In fact, the primary rotation had a remarkably high collective BB IQ, which played a role in the game 7 win. Credit must be given to Dick Barnett, who usually defended the top opposing guards ( Monroe, West) allowing Clyde to play the passing lanes and ballhawk. Barnett hit some crazy teardrop type shots over Wilt. Maybe Frank and RJ should work on that.
Could you imagine if Clyde had played this game in the era of social media?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[i tell you dad, just finished feeding godson a couple of chili dogs up in his room, tonight that was the best i could do...god daughter is out in the garage with her equally underage boyfriend drinking  a modelo...

time is like water on a stone, after a while it&#039;ll wear you down...one of things i admire most about z-man, strat, bob and some of the other old farts here - the fire and resoluteness they have...right or wrong, don&#039;t matter...

as a small business owner and leader, don&#039;t compromise on your expectations...as a son, sibling, partner, father, friend - as a wise grocer once said - diminished expectations seem to be a key component to happiness...]]></description>

Bong hit version

randle - ditto
first round pick actually can contribute
barret - practices during covid break but it doesn&#039;t help much
dsj gets covid takes remsvidir and it cures that and his shooting issues
