I hate it...

Meanwhile, of course our fans are the butt of the joke among NBA media, Twitter, etc. but what else is new?

God this **** pisses me off. I never liked Perkins then as a player, always rubbed me the wrong way, now I feel justified about it.

For the record, there are plenty of spots open after 10:30p in Salt Lake City -- Squatters, Red Rock and Rio Grande were all within 3 blocks of that Marriot Hotel. He must've ordered pizza because he wanted delivery.

The Bulls were staying in Park City.

He was in Park City. I knew this and I haven't watched the last dance.
 
So fun fact...

When the Bulls played the Jazz in the finals they stayed in Park City, UT and NOT Salt Lake City, UT.

And was Red Rock open in '97?

EDIT: Yeah, Red Rock opened in '94. I'm surprised by that.
 
I had no delusions about the 97 finals - I figured it would be 6 games and that's what happened.

In 98 I felt if everything went perfect Jazz had a legit shot to win in 7. I was optimistic when Indy took them to 7 in the ECF. I was feeling really good after Game 1, at the end of the third period of Game 2 I was swimming in the Kool - Aid - then the roof caved in.

One thing I didn't know - or forgot. Sloan didn't know Jordan was sick during the flu game? Do you think he was telling the truth (why would he lie)?

If he was telling the truth how could he not know? Even still, yet how could it be that no one got him this information? It was all over the place. Bob Costas was ready to canonize Jordan just for walking on the ****ing court.

I would have run back picks on Jordan until his kidneys exploded.

Where did Sloan say that? This is going back to when I saw it live, so my memory could be bad, but during the broadcast I’m pretty sure they said that Sloan knew but chose not to tell the players.

The press conference after Game 5 Sloan said he wasn't aware Jordan had "the flu."
