Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see a montage of MJ in Game 5 against the Jazz if Russ Smith is able to hobble to a couple of points early. There are rumors that he's starting the game on crutches, too weak to properly balance.Azubuike24;1417555 wrote:BTW, be prepared to hear about it all day, about how sick the Louisville team has been. Pitino will make sure it's noted on the broadcast multiple times, just in case his team doesn't play well, or *gasp*, loses. It will be the best "flu-infested" team he's ever coached.
While I think Louisville wins, it is funny at how uneducated these announcers really are about both of these teams. They act like Duke is a Cinderella with a slipper of a chance. Kenny Smith just said that there is no way that Duke can contain Russ Smith on the perimeter. Is that why Russ shot 7-of-19 from the floor and 1-of-4 from three against Duke earlier in the year? Rasheed Sulaimon did a hell of a job on Smith, getting up on him and making him work. He still got 17, but they were earned and got some from the line. His shooting game was completely ineffective.
