Ok... Good team, allright. I guess the west will come out this way:

PG: Hardaway
SG: Drexler
SF: Barkley
PF: Malone
C:  D.Robinson

Hmmm... your east starters have a combined 1196 rebs (through 1/3/93) and my
west has 1251 (and the east has only had one game missed due to injury(MJ) but
Clyde's been out a half dozen games at the time these stats were accurate.)
Nah... the west has no chance! They shouldn't even bother showing up...
weren't they humiliated enough last year... oops.... they CRUSHED the east
last year.
>
>I hope to see Price, Dumars, Wilkins, Grant and Ewing on the bench...

The west will have Hakeem, Stockton, Mullin, C. Robinson (who's having a
better year than Kemp), Majerle, Manning, and Payton.
I'm a huge blazers fan and I don't know if Clyde deserves to be on the
all-star team but he will be because he'll get the votes.  Anyway, as crappy
of a year as he's having its easy to make an argument for him... players are
often rewarded at least as much for their 2nd half of the previous season as
for the first half of the present one.  Besides, he was on the olympic team
and every player (save Laettner) still in the NBA will be in the AS game, so
to deny Clyde because he's been injured would be unfair.

P.S. Oh, yeah... after this year ( when one of the powerhouses of the west win
it all) how about the east trading the west another olympian? Say, MJ to
the Clippers for Vandeweghe and Randy Woods (and, to be fair, a 2nd round
pick)?

You are dead wrong in this instance.  This call DID DETERMINE THE COURSE OF THE  
GAME.  If the call had been made, it is very likely that the Suns would have  
won.
Protesting games where there is an obvious infraction is not going to cause  
mass havok.  Games have been protested before, and protests only happen very  
rarely.
This is not a case of "the ref saw it wrong".  This is a clear cut case where  
if the rules state what the Suns believe they state, they are definitely right.   
The things that you stated are ALL things which take into account the  
descretion(sp?) of the ref.  This instance is not one which could "go either  
way".  What the rule says is what goes, no two ways about it.

As far as the bad calls thing, that can't be helped.  THEY ARE UP TO THE REF'S  
JUDGEMENT.  This call had nothing to do with the ref simply not seeing what was  
happening, he saw it!

Go Suns!

After having his legs cut out by Jordan while MJ was trying to put an illegal
pick on Kendall Gill, Scott Williams hit the ground hard on his back.  However,
he only had a strained back and sprained wrist (from catching his fall).  I 
should point out, of course, that this information is as of Sunday, the last 
day I was in Chicago.

     Nice work!  The tables support what the reporters and announcers in
LA have been remarking on:  the Lakers have played a lot of teams who
had to play the night before.  Something like 7 Lkaer home games in a
row were against opponents who had played elsewhere thenight before.

You must be kidding. They are very boring. Stockton gives to Malone,
he muscles his way to score and that's it. The whole game is like that.

     I think the NBA seems to prefer to have the replayed game before the
regular game...I'm pretty sure that's how they handled the continuation of
a game between NJ and Phil about 10 years ago -- the game was discontinued
for some reason (blizzard? power outage?) and had to be finished several
weeks later, when the teams played again.  The bizarre twist was that
about 5 players were traded between NJ and Philadelphia in the meantime,
so when the continuation game was played, they played for the team    
opposite from their original team!  And they appeared in both teams'
boxscores, since they had played for both teams!  Some of the players
involved were Harvey Catchings, Ralph Simpson, I think Eric Money
and maybe Bill Willoughby too.

Not in his last few years, but during the 50's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's

That is the biggest crock I have ever heard.  I would take at least 10
players ahead of Pippen including Shaq, Ewing, Robinson, Daughtery, Malone,
Barkely, Stockton, Alujuwan (I know I butchered that one), Hardaway,
Drexler and KJ.  There is no way that any of the teams these guys play for
would trade straight up for Pippen and Chicago would trade straight up for
most of these guys in a heartbeat.

It was reported by Mark Patrick of WISH-TV8 (Indianapolis CBS affiliate) that
there was a rumor going around about a deal involving Reggie Miller for the
Clippers' Danny Manning.  Anyone else heard anything about this?  Personally,
I doubt the Clippers would accept this as a straight-up deal, but maybe
if we threw in Smits and they gave us a minor outside threat (seeing as how
Smits is a minor threat to himself)...

I don't create the rumors, I just report 'em.

My understanding is that he gets $200,000 from the Woofies this year, because
Boston is still paying him, then $400,000 next year from the Wolves.  Me, I'd
gladly be unemployed for $400,000 a year!

Actually, it depends on whether the ball left his hands or not.  If he shot
the ball and THEN charged, it is a FGA, otherwise not...

Why did Portland ever assume that would be Dan's option.? If I recall,
Collangelo called Ainge at midnight and the offer was like "sure Dan,
take a couple minutes to think about it."  It was intentional - take this
or leave it.  He didn't want to give Ainge the opportunity to shop around
or for the Blazers to counter.  I think he also sold Ainge onthe fact that
he would be an intergal part of the team - I'm not sure he was happy in
Portland.  Or if he thought he was even welcome.

I'm not sure what the record for most losses in a MLB season is
(probably around 110-115), but the Colorado Rockies appear to be trying
REAL hard to break that record.  It's very possible that we will have
three teams setting futility records in 1993.  BTW, I'm also hoping that
Ottawa won't win a road game all season.  They're already something like
0-18-0.  Last year Quebec almost accomplished this, but won a road game
very late in the season and finished with a 1-38-1 road record.
