Reasons that Golden State won't be:
1. Defense (Sam Perkins just ate Gatling for breakfast)
2. Rebounding (Owens is team-high in boards)

Remember the 88-90 Pistons?  Remember the Spurs about 10 years ago?  Which
won NBA titles?  Hint: not the one that had the "Ability to Score at Will".

Seriously, I love watching Warriors, they'll win high 40s to mid 50s this
year.  But the 4-headed center still ain't there.

	Yeah, Gugliotta does not have the skills to be another Larry Bird,

SF-Small Forward should be able to shoot from outside as well as inside. Scottie Pippen and Dominique Wilkins are probably perfect examples of Small Forwards, they are also expected to rebound.

PF-Power Forward generally specialize in rebounding and scoring inside, usually don't get many outside shots but players like Christian Laettner and now Horace Grant are finding that an outside shot is a good weapon. Most Power Forwards are also quick and good shot blockers. Shawn Kemp, Larry Nance and Karl Malone are probably the prototype for a power forward, however Horace Grant may slip in there somewhere.

SG-Shooting Guard is currently the premier position in basketball with the fame of Michael Jordan everybody wants to "Be like Mike" This player generally shoots well from the outside and three point line, as well as penetrates well. There isn't a lot of difference between SF and SG except that the SG is expected to have more assists and the SF to have more rebounds.

The Small Forward is usually between 6'6" and 6'9", The Power Forward is usually around 6'10" or 6'11" and the SG is usually between 6'4" and 6'6"

Actually it was worse than that. Every time he took it to the

Just to clarify, Porter's 25 4th quarter points set a Blazer team record
for points in a quarter, formerly held by Geoff Petrie, 3/17/72 with 22.

Other Porter records:
40 pts tied his career high
7-7 3's breaks Chuck Person's (then of Indiana) NBA record  of threes without
    a miss (6-6 2/11/87 (vs Phoenix))
Blazer team record for threes (formerly 6, set by Porter twice)
25 points a record for a Golden State opponent (breaking the mark of 23
    held by Joe Dumars of Detroit and Togo Palazzi (who????) of Syracuse)

The Blazer record for points in a quarter is 49 (three times), so 48
wasn't a record, but not a bad performance.

No, wrong answer.  Last time they played in Baton Rouge O'Neal definetly
won the battle.  While the game was close he held Laettner into being
basically a non-factor.  At the end of the game, the stats were close
but Laettner scored most of his points after the game was decided.

As for who should have been on the Olympic team, I always thought O'Neal
should have gone but I am a fan of his and never really liked Laettner. 
Sure we had Ewing and Robinson but Robinson played terrible most of the
time.  O'Neal would have been more of a factor and probably would have
seen more minutes due to the lackluster play of Robinson.

According to the Clippers broadcaster, Starks was benched in the second half

It was an extremely ugly game, and made three points very clear:

1> Rolando Blackman is weeks away from getting his timing back

2> The Knicks have a long way to go before they function as a team

Charles Barkley maybe predjudiced but he can't be racist. He has no power to
do any thing. The people who made questionable selections to the olympic team
are the racists. Among white people it has become very fashionable to whine
about racism any time some one says some thing that offends them. And while
blacks can be biased, there predjudice can never and has never don the white
race damage on the scale that white predjudice does and has done black people
damage. Those who equate the two do so in order to submerge a guilt conscience
and to include every one in the category of sinners in which realistically 
speaking only they are justified to be..

I agree that he doesn't have the all-around game of Pippen, but I think
when you criticize him for his FG% you there are two other points to be
made:

(1) He draws tons of fouls and is a decent free throw shooter.  If a player
shoots 47%, yeah, that ain't great - but in Dominique's case, he probably
averages close to 10 points a game from the free throw line.  This also can
get the guy defending him into foul trouble.

(2) If he were on a team with Jordan he'd probably raise his FG% just
because he'd get more easy shots and wouldn't have as much pressure to
score.

Let us not forget Rumeal Robinson.  While he was here in Atlanta, he:
refused to pass (in Atlanta, it is a sin not to pass to Dominique, but 
he refused to pass to anyone, although there really weren't too many he 
could pass to), he shot the rock like he was Larry Bird, but made as many
shots as Red Auerbach, refused to work on his passing or shooting disabilities, 
refused to play defense, and generally pissed everyone off with his attitude.

And while we're at it, let us not forget Jon Kontract.....

'old  yo 'orses pal. Thats not true. The year before, at Duke, Leattner seemed 
to do better. In the return match at LSU in their final encounter, Shaq was
far much better. Scored More pts (25 to 22) and had mo' rebs. and blked shots
Infact two late minutes 3 pointers saved Leattners face otherwise he would 
have finished the game withe a measley 16 pts. Even the commentators conceeded
that Shaq won the contest hands down.

iRemember  also that Duke was loaded with talent (Grant Hill, Thom Hill, Bob
Hurley etc) against essentially a one man team, LSU. Further more, The Duke 
coach was compared to Dlae Brown equivalent to the effect of two more good 
players. 

Chris Laettner is not in the category of Alonzo and Shaq (and maybe even 
Laphonse Ellis). These people played their last year against triple and
quadruteams where as he was basically ignored and did hid damage beyond
the 3 pt line.
