Chicago on track to make history again ■ KhUUKU: AJter whipping Golden State on Saturday, Chicago proves it’s not ready to let up on anyone The Associated Press CHICAGO—The Chicago Bulls might be the best team in NBA his tory. Again. Two-thirds of the way through the 1996-97 season, the Bulls are 48-6. Their record at this point last season, when they went on to set a league record with 72 victories? Yep, 48-6. “They are very similar to last year,” Golden State coach Rick Adelman said Saturday after the Bulls routed his Warriors 120-87. "But they’re probably better be cause they’ve been together that extra year.’’ Michael Jordan, a cinch for his ninth scoring title and favored to win his fifth MVP award, is aston ished by the Bulls’ back-to-back successes. “To put together two years like this in a row ... it is amazing,” he said. “We might be better because we’re a smarter team, and we play very well together. And this year, we’re not focusing on 70 wins, so the pressure’s not quite the same.” Teammate Steve Kerr knows that the debate about the Bulls’ place in history is about to start again. It was the hot topic much of last season and wasn’t resolved to everyone’s satisfaction even after Chicago rolled through the play offs to its fourth NBA title in six years. “Everybody’s expecting it again,” Kerr said. “It still comes down to what you do in the play offs. If we do it again, obviously people have to put us in with the greatest teams ever.” The Bulls have Jordan. They also have Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, several good role players and a savvy coach in Phil Jackson. Another thing the Bulls have is the ability to focus on each game. Saturday was a good example. The night before, they had to scrape out a four-point victory at Wash ington. A home game against the lowly Warriors would be a perfect opportunity for a letdown, right? Wrong. The 33-point margin of victory was Chicago’s largest this season. “It’s fun to win,” Ken said. “We want to keep winning. That’s what motivates us.” The Bulls have won six consec utive games overall and 18 straight at the United Center. “We’re on a good streak. We're pushing through February,” Jack son said. “But March ... we play tough teams and have back-to backs in abundance. We know that right now it looks like a cruise, but it’s going to be tough. ” Said Jordan: “We don’t want to start looking ahead. We want to keep constantly challenging our selves.” One challenge ahead might be to keep Mount Rodman from erupting. For the first time in six games since returning from an 11-game suspension for kicking a camera man, Rodman looked ready to lose control Saturday. During one 1:52 stretch of the third quarter, he was called for two offensive fouls, a loose ball foul, a double foul (with Andrew DeClercq) and a technical. He was n’t pleased, and he told the refer ees so. “Dennis was going to go to the limit and push it, no matter what we did,” Jordan said. “We wanted to put (the victory) away before something drastic happened.” Is that the only hope the rest of the NBA’s teams have — Rodman spontaneously combusting and setting the Bulls ablaze? It might be, Golden State’s La trell Sprewell said. “They expect to win,” he said. “They’ve got Michael, Scottie, Dennis and Kukoc. They play hard on offense and defense. They’re simply the best.” Rugby gains experience but loses game to UP ■ CLUB SPORTS: The Ducks hope that giving everybody playing time Saturday will pay off in the long run By Alex Pond Freelance Sports Reporter Concentrating on getting every body playing time and experience rather than getting the win. the Oregon Club rugby team fell 24-7 to the University of Portland Sat urday afternoon at South Bank Field. The Pilots jumped on the Ducks early, scoring three tries in the first half to lead 17-0 at half time. Each team added a try in the second half to account for the fi nal score. Erik East scored the try for the Ducks, his first of the season. Student coordinator Alex Sroka said that East, Cal Taylor and Kei th Hegger turned in stand-out per formances. “Hegger played a real strong game,” Sroka said. “It was his first game in awhile, and he will be important for us the rest of the @10 season. The rest of the season is what the Ducks had in mind in this game, Sro ka said. “It was not a league game so we gave all of our players a lot of playing time,” he said. "We want ed to get experience for our new guys in order to build a better team in the future.” Oregon’s future may begin this weekend when it will return to actio" in a major tournament Sat urday and Sunday at UC Davis. tell your faraway family and friends to read the Oregon daily emerald now available on the world wide web http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/ ~ ode WOMEN’S GOLF TEAM HEADS TO CALIFORNIA The ninth-ranked Oregon women’s golf team will take on 17 teams at the Pioneer Elec tronics/Bruins Classic today and Tuesday at Menifee Lakes Country Club in Temecula, Calif.
