Bucks swat Hornets away
By Arnie Stapleton
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Ervin Johnson
has gone from MIA to MVP in
George Karl’s eyes.
The coach and center didn’t get
along when they were in Seattle,
where Karl questioned Johnson’s
guts and gumption, suggesting the
raw big man might not be cut out
for the rigors of the NBA.
In Milwaukee, they’ve found
bliss together, and never more so
than on Sunday, when the Bucks
advanced to the Eastern Confer
ence finals for the first time sinc^e
1986 and Karl called Jdhnsdn his
most valuable player, j I i
points and Ray Allen ha$ 28,
matching their career playoff
highs, and Sam Cassell added 17
as the Bucks beat the Charlotte
Hornets 104-95 in Game 7.
“Glenn and Ray were very ...”
Karl said, pausing to give credit
where he thought it was really
due. “Ervin Johnson probably is in
my mind the MVP of the series.”
“He was so good at the dirty
work and in the interior, in the
paint,” Karl said. “He and Scotty
Glenn Robinson
29
[Williams] and Jason Caffey, all my
big guys did a great job. Even
though the ‘Big Three’ are expect
ing most of the reward, I really
think Ervin was fantastic.”
Johnson had 11 rebounds and
four blocks as Milwaukee tied a
franchise playoff record with 13

he united me and George

blocked shots, including at least
one by all five starters.
After moving into the starting
lineup in Game 5, Johnson pulled
down 41 rebounds and blocked 12
shots. He also helped frustrate El
den Campbell and Jamal Mash
burn.
“I know Glenn Robinson and
Ray Allen and Sam Cassell are
great shooters, but Scott Williams
and Ervin Johnson were probably
MVPs,” Mashburn concurred.
“They sacrificed so much to get
those guys open. They’re like two
P.J. Browns out there. I got sick and
tired of seeing Ervin Johnson.”
So did Karl when he was in
Seattle.
“I just thank God that he united
me and George back together,”
Johnson said. “A lot of people
were saying a lot of negative things
about that when we got back to
gether, how our relationship was
going to be. I’m just so glad that we
worked things out.
“We got married again, and
hopefully it’s for life.”
The rest of the Bucks and their
fans sure hope so.
While Johnson was patrolling
the paint the way Karl had plead
ed for him to do in their younger
days, Robinson and Allen took
turns stifling Mashburn, who
missed 18-of-25 shots and finished
with 21 points.
Cassell tied a playoff career high
with 13 assists as the Bucks over
came Baron Davis’ career-high 29
points.
The Bucks hit 33 of 35 free
throws — including all 20 in the
fourth quarter — compared to the
Hornets’17-of-28.

native, who played in the Masters
earlier this year and will play
alongside Tiger Woods in the up
coming U.S. Open, struggled in
Corvallis to finish tied-for-38th
with a 223.
The Suit Devils weren’t hurting,
though, as Matt Jones won the in
dividual title with a 208 and Jin
Park ended up in third with a 211.
Other Pacific-10 Conference
teams that qualified for the NCAAs
include Arizona (2nd, 867), host
Oregon State (tied-for-6th, 881),
Stanford (tied-for-sixth, 881),
UCLA (tied-for-sixth, 881) and
Washington (10th, 883).
As for the Ducks, they say they
are frustrated about not playing up
to their talent level, but take solace
in the fact that they will only lose
Genovese from their roster for next
season.
“We only have one senior in this
group so we have four guys coming
back,” Nosier said. “Hopefully this
was a less-than-enjoyable experi
ence for them, so it will help focus
us for next year and put things back
to-square one.”
With the men’s golf team’s depar
ture, only the Oregon men’s and
women’s track and field teams re
main in action from the school’s 15
varsity sports.
