On NOW!, on NBC Sports Channel.

Strangely, this is the local telecast on Sportschannel, with Dore and Red on the call.

If u want a taste of the old broadcasts, now's your chance!

Also Shaq with the Magic.

Shaq surprisingly seemed well contained.

He had trouble getting to the hoop. Even against the Rodmans and Longleys.

Bulls were VERY active on defense. I mean everyone. Always going after loose balls. They wanted it.

And Scottie and Michael were huge. I mean they were built. Big muscles.

Didn't we destroy the Magic that series and win 4-0? I think there was even one game that the Magic only scored like 60 points. Orlando bombed that series.

One of the games in this series went to a split screen. Game and OJ chase. I'm just saying.

Wrong that was the Finals between the Knicks and Rockets the year before.

I didnt know Brian Shaw was actually the starting point guard for this team.

I always knew him as a backup on the Lakers.

Looked weird to see him as a starter on a playoff team.

They just had a playoff game with them from 97 on. It had to be hella frustrating playing the Bull. Orlando was killing them until midway through the third quarter when they got the Doberman D put on them.

And damn it was fun watching Orlando get crushed. Especially that bastard Ho Grant.

Best part was watching his bum ass sitting there in his $5,000 suit after cheerleading his ass off for the first thirty minutes of that game.

Seeing him carried off the court when the Magic won in 1995 in Chicago pissed me off and I was barely 10 or whatever. I'm still sore about that image - he achieved nothing but success in Chicago and then gleefully poured salt in the wound he left by leaving. In retrospect his celebration was probably about Krause, which I can understand, but still.

Exactly!

Remembering how the city would shut down for every game is hilarious. Every single game. I remember timing trips to the liquor store and for food to be in front of the tv each night waiting for the intros.

Also pissed me off when B.J. hit a shot to win a game against the Bulls in the '98 playoffs.

I just saw the end of game six on YouTube. Loved that the crowd booed Grant during his celebration - that was awesome. Also saw the last few minutes of next year's game four in Orlando. Saw Jordan hit a three to help put the nail in the coffin. So weird seeing Jordan shoot threes. I wonder if he would join today's players in launching 10 a game if he played in this era.

He and Kerr both would. And Scottie would feast driving down the empty lanes.

Bulls looking good here.

Game 4 was tonight. They swept 'em.

The beginning of the end of Shaq in Orlando.

Michael 45 points.

Michael scored 45 points and had 23 field goal attempts. He shot 69.6 percent from the field. He was 10 of 14 from the line.

If Michael was in the current era and shot a lot of three pointers he probably would have averaged another 6 points a game.

If he wanted to average another 10 points a game, he coulda done that too.

If Jordan shot four three pointers each game and hit two his average would be right around 50 percent.

Also, statistical modeling shows that if Jordan increased his scoring average then the Bulls as a team would also score more points.

The point is that current stats are padded by three point totals.

I’m watching it now (obviously recorded). Midway through the 2nd and as they went to break the announcer (I think Goukas) just said that Hardaway was doing a good job guarding Jordan. At that point MJ was 7 for 7 :lol:
