Boston Globe Online: Print it! So when you gaze at the stat sheet and see that Jordan had a comeback-high 32 points in a comeback-high 41 minutes, do not be fooled into thinking the Michael Jordan you remember is playing for the Wizards. This Michael Jordan is a good player, but he is also someone teams can deal with. And he is playing for a coach in denial.
''I pay no attention to Michael's individual stats,'' explained Doug Collins. ''You guys do a good job of that. I look at 32 points. I look at the good things. I don't dwell on the negatives.''
Dwelling on them is one thing. Ignoring them is another. Is it really possible Collins thinks he didn't see what he saw?
