101.   Offense carried this team this far.

102.   Of those four goaltenders, all having carried their teams to the NHL conference finals, Belfour likely would rank fourth in most straw polls.

103.   Odom tried to carry the team but got into foul trouble in the second half and turned into a non-factor.

104.   On nights when Patrick Ewing could use some ice on his right elbow from carrying this team offensively, it is easy to see why.

105.   Only Curry and, on occasion, Mills have been able to carry the team through rough spots.

106.   Orlando still has Penny Hardaway, and now he has to step up and prove he can carry the team by himself.

107.   One advantage Dare will have, unlike Olajuwon and Robinson, is that he will not have to carry his team as a rookie.

108.   Other than Mourning, who has carried the team on his huge shoulders for three games, expect Riley to keep almost no one safe from the trading block.

109.   Playing with Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler has given Barkley the rare luxury of not having to carry a team offensively.

110.   Rogers was playing on a sore ankle, but at times the other four Clippers stood and watched him carry the team.
