It was one of the first opening games that I watched. As a Bulls fan when I was a kid I was surprised they got defeated by the Celtics after they used a full court press.

I think he means the Celtics press. Rick Patino teams were famous for it. Unfortunately it is hard to get grown men to buy into running a full court press all the time.

yeah the Bulls would just go to it when they needed to put teams away. Pitino was also known for taking a lot 3's for the time as well and failing miserably as a pro coach like most college coaches
