<< Back Next >> -------------------- May 31, 2001 No easy walk Milwaukee talked about resorting to aggressive measures before the game. They did. Philly was just slightly more aggressive. A sports golden rule: you can talk all you want, but just keep in mind your opponent feeds off of your taunts. And only talk when you meant it. Milwaukee probably missed this one in their "high-class athlete handbook". They lead throughout most of the game. Ever seen a cheetah make a succesfull transformation into an elephant? Trying to match Philly's bruising defensive schemes cost the Bucks. Center Ervin Johnson fouled out, and Mount Mutombo erupted for 21 points and 13 boards. Iverson was again off going 5 for 27, but he can win without shooting well. He just being on the court opens things for his teammates. If they get to face the 11-0 juggernaut though, he would need to think he was playing the Raptors again, especially the way he performed in games 2 and 5 against them. Milwaukee now has a long hard walk back home down 3-2. The slogan might sound corny by now but nothing could sum up things clearer: win or go home. << Back Next >> Back to archive |
