Chaos and chemistry in the NBA.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
PHILADELPHIA _ In Portland and Miami, it's chaos.
In New York and Philadelphia, it's just chemistry.
Call it whatever you want. It really doesn't seem to have as much impact on a team's success or failure as fans and the media might expect.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat both took embarrassingly early headers in the NBA playoffs. Coaches Mike Dunleavy and Pat Riley are being criticized for the way they let their teams fall apart. Dunleavy could be fired. Riley, who has supreme power in Miami, is being called on by some to resign.
Look at the situations. The Trail Blazers were beset by controversy all season. Scottie Pippen had one agenda. Philly's own Rasheed Wallace became a walking punchline with his record 41 technical fouls and his not-infrequent suspensions. What a mess, right? The Blazers were swept in three games by the Lakers.
What about the Knicks? Coach Jeff Van Gundy started a brushfire with comments about the role of the team's chaplain. Point guard Charlie Ward ignited an inferno when he made remarks about Jews. Forward Marcus Camby missed a playoff game because he was shaken up after his mother and sisters were held hostage at his home last week.
The Knicks can close out their opening series with Toronto Wednesday night.
