Who is with me, that if the 1988-89 Cleveland Cavaliers (that magical 57-25) team would have used Ron Harper?

on Michael Jordan, instead of Craig "White Guy" Ehlo; that the Cavs would have prevailed in Game 5 of the 1st Round Eastern Conference Playoffs, that that Cav Core of Price-Harper-Larry Nance-John Williams-Brad Daugherty, would have gone on to better things and challenged the Pistons for supremacy of the Eastern Conference in the late 80s, early 90s. They shouldn't have dismantled the Flight Brothers (Harper-Nance); and just used Ehlo as a 6th man and NOT in crunch time; look at Harper vs. Ehlo's steal differential in 88-89. Magic Johnson had also dubbed this Cleveland group as the "team of the 90s". Bad decision to have kept Ehlo, Harper could've made defensive stops on Jordan. I have to put most of the blame on Lenny Wilkens, I could right a thesis on the decision for why Ron Harper should've been the starting shooting guard for the 88-89' Cleveland Cavaliers and beyond but will save that issue for another question.

Maybe, but isn't that highlight clip of Jordan great!! Hey maybe they should have called an offensive push off foul on Jordan against Byron Russell in the last "real" game Jordan ever played in too! Remember, Jordan clearly put his hand all over him to clear space to make that free throw line jump shot in the championship in 1998! If Karl Malone would have been gaurding him maybe he could have blocked that jumper! Hey what if........ah never mind! Best Wishes, Craig Ehlo

YOU HAVE A GOOD POINT THERE.

The only reason why anyone is asking this question cause Phil Jackson picked him up just to play Defense, and Harper was hurtin MotherFockers. for all you Phil haters; No one was running Ron Harper like that No one. Ron was always used as a scorer. ( and a good scorer he was) If Ron didn't do what he did on the BULLS; This question wouldn't exist. Your welcome Bulls Championships helped build LeBron for you.
