Obviously not.

I highly doubt it. That bench is horrible.

Defense in the frontcourt is stellar. Defense in the backcourt is average.

They happen matchup well with Boston defensively. But San Antonio will own them, Smush guarding Tony?

i think they would have a shot

pippen and jordan are both great defenders, most teams kill just to have one guy like that.

the way i see it, they wouldnt really need a pg with mj and pippen although it would me nice to have someone better than smush but they could make it work.

well one thing for sure, I'd start Hughes at pg, let smush back him up and move reddick to 2.

and I believe they may have a chance. if kg-pp-allen is tearing it up nowadays, mj-pippen can also do it.

The Celtics have way better role players that this.You're forgetting alot of their success has been because of their roleplayers stepping up.

no, I don't. but this team has solid role players, too.

evans and hayes are great rebounders.

reddick and morrison are great shooters.

hughes can be a good third option.

Morrison hasn't proven to be a great NBA shooter.
Evans can't do anything besides rebounding.
Reddick can't do much aside from shooting, either.

Larry Hughes is horrible.

The fact that Smush Parker is even on that team means it is impossible for them to win a championship.

I see this team two ways...

1) Prime Jordan and Pippen are good enough to get any team into the playoffs.. no matter who fills out the roster.... Period.

On THIS team Jordan would be good for 35, 7, 7 and 3... Pippen: 22, 8, 5 and 3...

Smush could average 11ppg on 43%, Reggie Evans 4 and 9, Kwame 8 and 6... JJ 6ppg, Hughes 12ppg with good defense, Ammo: 10 ppg (bad defense, bad fg%), Hayes 4 and 8, Collins 2 and 2 (lol)

I can honestly see Jordan at least getting to the conference finals... but I dont know if they would have enough to win it all


2) Jordan demands a trade 10 games into the season after Smush tries to take over a game down the stretch and Pippen kills himself because he's surrounded by a buch of idiots...

There are a lot of question marks with that team. They'd be well within the playoff picture and a championship probably wouldn't be out of reach.

Umm, no. Jordan would yell the **** out of them. He would go public and have them traded/waived, or demands to be trade.
