Tinley Thunder vs. Rhode Island Lemonheads
Rhode Island 	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF 	C
A.MILLER     	37  	0  	0  	0  	0
J.BARRY      	21  	3  	0  	0  	0
Miller is the leader of this team. He is shooting .566 
from the field and has 136 assists so far in the playoffs. 
Barry is also shooting lights out (.571) from the field. Both 
players seem to be outside shooters and from their percentages, 
are very good at what they do.
Tinley       	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF  	C
D.ARMSTRONG  	33 	0  	0  	0  	0
A.WILLIAMS   	29  	7  	0  	0  	0
J.VAUGHN     	23 	0  	0  	0  	0
Armstrong is a solid PG when it comes to scoring, but doesn’t 
quite have the knack of passing. Williams is the 6th man on this 
team and although his shooting percentage isn’t very high.
ADVANTAGE = RHODE ISLAND


Rhode Island 	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF 	C 
T.McGRADY     	1 	32  	4  	2  	0
M.RICHMOND    	0 	11  	0  	0  	0
McGrady is battling a slight knee sprain suffered in the last 
series. He is the Lemonheads main offensive weapon. His shooting 
percentages are all superstar like and should be a force to reckon 
with. Surprisingly, McGrady seems to be taking all his shots inside, 
which could cause matchup problems. Richmond is just along for the 
ride and the ring. He is often seen twirling his towel in the air 
as Rhode Island make their runs.
Tinley       	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF  	C
R.MILLER      	1 	36  	0  	0  	0
D.CHRISTIE    	1 	33  	1  	0  	0
Miller who? Christie has been struggling on the floor, but seems to 
do the job on defense. He needs to find a way to stop talking to the 
media and answering questions about the whereabouts of Miller.
ADVANTAGE = RHODE ISLAND


Rhode Island 	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF 	C
D.MASON       	0  	7 	25  	0  	0
R.LEWIS       	0  	1 	23 	12  	0
L.ODOM        	8 	11 	14  	1  	0
J.NEWMAN      	0  	6  	8  	1 	0
A pretty diversified group of SF’s here. Lewis is the starter and shooting 
just as hot of the PG’s. Careful with the ball around this guy, he has 
a team leading 22 steals in the playoffs. Mason and Odom are the 6th and 
7th man off the bench are hold up quite well. Although Odom’s playoff 
shooting has something to be desired.
Tinley       	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF  	C
K.GARNETT    	0  	1 	36  	2  	1
G.RICE        	0  	2	27  	1  	0
S.MARION      	0  	0 	26 	12  	0
Mr. MVP, Garnett is all over the place. 2nd in assists, 1st in scoring, 
shots, points, rebounds, and blocks. Marion is rated here, but the secret 
is out, he plays PF also. What Garnett isn’t doing Marion is. The heart and 
sole of this team is right here. Rice has been reported last seen in 
section 129, row WW, seat 103. An AMBER ALERT is being considered.
ADVANTAGE = TINLEY


Rhode Island 	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF 	C 
R.WALLACE     	0  	0  	2 	33  	3
D.FORTSON     	0  	0  	0 	24  	5
E.GRIFFIN     	0  	0  	3 	22  	1
Wallace is the horse on this team. He has played the most minutes and 
has the most rebounds. He is a force inside. However, he can be neutralized 
with foul trouble. Fortson and Griffin play sparingly 
Tinley       	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF  	C
C.WEATHERSP   	0  	0  	1 	29  	1
G.TRENT       	0  	0  	1 	17  	1
C.LAETTNER    	0  	0  	0 	14 	11
Looking at the stats, none of these players are starting at PF. Laettner is 
being a good boy and cheering on the bench and only showing signs of life 
when he gets up to give up a seat for the other players during timeouts. 
Trent has been very productive given the limited opportunity, however, it 
seems he is only is successful is small spurts.
ADVANTAGE = RHODE ISLAND


Rhode Island 	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF 	C 
B.HAYWOOD    	0  	0  	0  	1 	19
S.SWIFT       	0  	0  	4  	8 	15
S.BRADLEY     	0  	0  	0  	1 	13
Swift is the starter here, while Bradley and Haywood have seen token time, 
its obvious Swift is the main man in the middle. Swift doesn’t have flashy 
numbers but is a defensive presence in the middle which is required to 
win a championship.
Tinley       	PG 	SG 	SF 	PF  	C
D.MUTOMBO     	0  	0  	0  	1 	35
J.COLLINS     	0  	0  	0  	1 	20
B.OUTLAW      	0  	0  	1 	12 	10
Mutombo is a force inside and is not afraid to “mix it up”. 2nd on the team 
in almost every defensive category, he is a fine roll player for a starter. 
Collins is not much of a shooter, but is a solid backup. 
ADVANTAGE = TINLEY

Management and intangibles.
Mike has his team running on all cylinders, he has developed a good rotation 
for the playoffs. Have had to overcome some injuries, fantastic teams and 
tough coaches. This will be an interesting series pitting the best offense 
vs. the best defense.  
Ed must be doing it with mirrors. He makes a statement and benches Miller 
and Rice and his team has responded. He has cruised through the playoffs, 
using blood, sweat, and some tears (mostly Laettner’s). Some critics claim 
Tinley has walked through the playoffs, but its not Tinley’s fault on who he 
plays. Let’s give him some credit on how he has defended them. 
ADVANTAGE = TINLEY

SERIES: Rhode Island 4-3
