Let us think about this clearly, Chicago is like an unbeatable team. The simply can not be beat; They Wr F. M i iVi 1 1 ic A - Service oj Imerrnountam Health Care olunteer! Your service to others is an especially valuable experience if youre considering a medical career. Flexible hours Broad assignment selection CALL FOR MORE INFO: 634-411- 4 rebounds for Chicago. Together these men and the rest of the team form a near unbeatable team. The Utah Jazz on the other hand are quite good themselves. Their main man, Karl Malone, was nominated for Most Valuable Player in the NBA over Michael Jordan. Fie is assisted by the speedy and accurate teammate John Stockten. Alone with these valuable players is the Jazz's regular season record of 64 wins. This is not a bad team. In fact, this is a very very good team. This is a team that is on fire! Now the question arises, can the Jazz beat the Bulls? The answer is yes. The Jazz have the one thing that all other teams in the NBA lack to beat the Bulls. That is All other teams expect to get beat by the Bulls, and they act like dead fish. The Jazz are fresh off of an MVP award for Karl Malone, and have one of the best winning records in NBA history. The Jazz also have the manpower to beat the Bulls. When the Jazz beat the Clippers, they were upset for not playing well enough, even though they beat the Clippers by 20 points. The Jazz are nothing less than perfection. The Bulls are stuck on themselves, and someday their cockiness is going to kill their game.
