All-world O almost always trumps all-world D. The most anyone can hope to do against a supreme scorer who's in the groove is to slow him down, try to take away a favorite part of the court or frustrate a favorite move. I think Jordan has a big series here, and Wilt has an even bigger one.

These are two of my favorite teams in this league. At a glance, they each need a top-flight shooter--especially Washington, to space the floor a bit more for Wilt. But he and McGinnis are both good passers and can look for cutters if not shooters in the event of a double-team.

ss03's Hack-a-Wilt strategy has something to recommend it, although carried to far it will result in Wilt feasting on Zelmo Beatty.

This is almost too close to call. I think Jordan averages about 35 ppg in this series, but Frazier and Wilt find a way to win in 7.
