Finally, Laettner shows up

[Matthew Chung-Chie Sin]

Laettner finally came to play, with 10 quick pts. in the first quarter, 20
overall. He had quite a few nice defensive plays that won't show up in
the box score. He also had 8 boards, 5 assist, and a few blox and
assists. He better play like an all-star if he wants a nice contract next
summer. Bring on da Bulls!!!

No matter who wins the game, it will probably be an ugly one. The Bulls'
shooting is already ugly right now, and then they will be playing in a
dome. They always shoot poorly when playing in a dome, like Toronto's
Skydome.

Wow! That's terrible! (Too bad, sounds like Bill Walton.)

Really?
The Bulls lost 2 games in Toronto. And I recall Kerr explained why it's
so difficult to shoot in a dome. Backdrop,...blah, blah, blah.
Yesterday a reporter asked Kerr when he expects the Bulls' shooting
percentages will near 50%. He said probably Saturday at home against the
Nets and certainly not the Atlanta game because "we will be play in a
dome."
I don't know. And I never look at that specific statistics.
