VS. Breakdown Point Gaurd* VS. Jamal Crawford VS. Kenny Anderson. Kenny Anderson's Offense VS. Jamal Crawford's defense. Well, lets face it... Jamal Crawford's defense isn't something to talk about. But, there are some players he can defend. One of them, is Kenny Anderson. Kenny isn't in there to score, but rather to play defense and distribute the ball to his teamates.* <font color="Red">Advantage</font>- Jamal Crawford-Bulls Jamal Crawford's Offense VS. Kenny Anderson's Defense Kenny Anderson is known for his very good defense. Although, I think that Jamal has been scoring in massive amounts, and will win this battle. Jamal has the big size advantage over Kenny, and hopefully puts it to work. <font color="Red">Advantage</font> - Jamal Crawford-Bulls Intangibles Jamal's intangibles are not very well set. He isn't a great passer. Lately, his turnovers have been going up as well. Well, this is pretty much a blowout on Kenny's side. He is the intangible master. Only 1.5 turnovers in 26 minutes, which id very solid. He is also more of a team player in my eyes. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font>- Kenny Anderson - Pacers VS. Reggie Miller's Offense VS Lindon Johnson's Defense Well, lets face it... Reggie isn't the Reggie we used to know. However, against Lindon, he might seem like it. Lindon is only a mere rookie, and is facing the definition of a veteran. I think that Lindon can contend, and stop him, but Reggie just knows so much about the game, it will be hard. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font>-eggie Miller- Pacers Lindon Johnson's Offense VS. Reggie Miller's Defense. Well, Lindon does not have much of an offense at all. He may ocasionally get a point or two, but not likely. Reggie Miller's experience will come in major here. Reggie, may be old, but is still a solid defender. He keep Lindon under big containment. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font>-Reggie Miller - Pacers Intangibles Well, Lindon is a rookie, and therefore does not have much intangibles. I think in time, he will get that, and be pretty good intangible player. Right now, he does have one good intangible, and thats hustle. Unlike Reggie Miller, Lindon will have to fight for playing time, and his starting role. But, Reggie's experience and intangibles are one of the best. Its a sweep at the shooting guard position. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font>- Reggie Miller - Pacers VS. Ron Artest's Offense VS. Kendall Gill's Defense Kendall brings great defense to the table when he steps out on the court. He defends the pick very well, unlike most Bulls players. However, when you go against a guy like Ron Artest, most of that doesn't matter. Artest is containable, and I think Gil will need to do that. But ever since Artest left the Bulls, his offense has come into its own, and he's been doing it consistantly. He has been averaging a great 17 points per game. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font> - Ron Artest - Pacers Kendall Gill's Offense VS. Ron Artest's Defense Kendall has been a nice offensive player. He has been a great spark and has shown his ability to score. He also has a very nice jump shot. However, when you play Ron Artest, that doesn't matter. Ron, in my opinion, is the best on the ball defender in the East. He is such a pest on the court. A lot of player are intimated by him and bothered. Ron Artest can do that. Ron has become one of the best defenders in the entire league. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font> - Ron Artest - Pacers Intangibles Kendall Gill, has very goo intangibles. Great hustle ect. But, Ron Artest is the King of Hustle. The guy plays every play his hardest and I give him my props for that. Another sweep. <font color="DarkRed">Advantage</font> - Ron Artest -Pacers VS. Antonio Davis VS. Al Harrington Al Harrington's Offense Vs. Antonio Davis's Defense Al Harrington has improved his scoring a lot. He has actually become a pretty good player, and it should improve every year. He did come out of high school. He's been averaging 13 points a night, which is pretty good. Antonio Davis, like Kendall, gaurds the pick very well. He also is a pretty decent on the ball defender. However, I don't see much seperation between the two. <font color="DarkOrange">Advantage</font> - None Al Harrington's Defense VS. Antonio Davis's Offense Since aquired, Antonio has been a nice scorer. He's been averaging just under 11 points a game. Al Harrington's defense is very solid. He hustles a lot on the defensive end. He can also block some shots while downlow. He has improved a lot at defense since he's come into the league. <font color="DarkRed"> Advantage</font>- Al Harrington - Pacers Intangibles Al does have some pretty nice intangibles. Rebounds well, and team player. But, one big thing is he does hustle a lot. I love hustle in a guy. But Davis, has great intangibles. Davis, as a Bulls, has been averaging 11 rebounds a game, which is amazing. He also is a non selfish player. <font color="Red"> Advantage</font> - Antonio Davis - Bulls VS. Jermaine Oneal's Offense VS. Eddy Curry's Defense Is this even fair. Curry has improved his defense from last year. He is a decent shot blocker also. But, Jermaine is the man. He is one of the best scorers in the Nba today. 20 points per game, is what you get from him. He also shoots 45 percent, which is very solid. Curry doesn't stand much of a chance against him, but hopefully he can at least contain him. <font color="DarkRed"> Advantage </font>- Jermaine Oneal - Pacers Eddy Curry's Offense VS. Jermaine Oneal's Defense Eddy is very inconsitant scoring. He does average 14 points, which is solid. But, Jermaine Oneal has excelent defense. He will most likely contain Curry very well. I dont see Curry having a big game at all. Jermaine also is one of the better shot blockers in the league. Should be a tough game for Curry. <font color="DarkRed"> Advantage </font>- Jermaine Oneal - Pacers Intangibles Although neither are reall excelent in intangibles, most players would get my vote over Curry. Curry is soft, and sometimes relaxes on plays, which I don't like at all. Jermaine is a nice hustler, and a team player when he needs to be. But the key word is... Winner, which is what Jermaine is. <font color="DarkRed"> Advantage</font> - Jermaine Oneal - Pacers Keys for Bulls. The Bulls need to contain both Artest and Jermaine. It's as simple as that. If they do that they have a chance at the game. Pacer's Keys Trying to hold Jamal Crawford to few point would be nessisary. When Jamal gets hot, he can score greatly. As shown when he got 22 points in the 4th quarter a while ago. Also, make sure that you leave any open shots. Prediction Although I hate to say it.... Pacers 103 Bulls 95 Close the whole way though.
