Excuse me? Harrell? Did you actually watch the games? Harrell was extremely bad and Boban ate his lunch. I don't really remember any rim runnings. Perhaps I missed one or two, but certainly he didn't wreck us. He played 14 minutes (4 points) in game 6 and 17 minutes (2 points) in game 4.

Totally agree with this. Powell would be pushed off the floor in playoffs. Defense would just leave him completely open and dare him to shoot while also prevent any rim runs.
