Can anyone fill me in with how the Sixers are looking?  How's the
new three-guard lineup?  How's Doug Moe's wardrobe?  How much is 
Manute bench pressing?  We don't get much news about these things
down here in Knoxville.

Well Shaq looked damned good last night against Charlotte, of course they
do not have a center so take it with a grain of salt. He is going to be
a monster in this league, and not too far from it now. Laettner looked 
terrific on offense against the Warriors, ate Billy Owens up. Had some
trouble on D but looked really good overall, so far he has been a little 
better than I expected. 

So far the one I am taking the most personal interest in is LaPhonso Ellis
at Denver. All last year people were ripping me in the college group for
saying Ellis was underrated because he wasted 3 years under Digger Phelps,
well looks like I was right. He is getting double figure boards and scoring
a bit too.                  

Sprewell is looking good for the Warriors, Walt Williams is doing well
in Sacramento, Gugliotta has played well considering he missed camp.
MacLean and Murray are not getting the minutes, but have played well
when they have got in.

Rooks is scoring pretty well, but is not rebounding much for Dallas.

So far this looks like a deep draft that is really making an impact
in the NBA.

Well, Blackwell and Haley made the team as did Duane Cooper also.  The only
unexepected move was to keep Haley--he's injured right now.

The Cavs bench scored 60 points in the game.  For whatever reason, 
Daugherty's performance was stagnant, and Hot Rod played his usual
inspired ball at both ends of the floor.  Ferry played quality 
minutes down the stretch, hitting 3-4 shots, and displaying great
"court savvy".  

Just an opinion, but Latrell Sprewell just might allow the Warriors
to move Sarunas when he comes back for a legitimate rebounder/
defender.  Sprewell was as good as advertised -- a rangy, extremely
athletic defender, with decent offensive skills that just figure
to get better.  Kind of a Stacey Augmon type, maybe with a better
shot.

I hate to start Laettner wars (or is that in the OTHER r.s.b group), especially
since I have been a fan of his since his frosh game against Alonzo/Georgetown,
but so far he's looking pretty good.

Unfortunately, I don't have any cumulative boxscores lying about (Kevin, perhaps
you could post his stats from the first 3 games), but after a "disappointing"
showing against Boston in The Gahden for the season opener, he has had two good
(I'd say one very good) games at home, against Golden State and the (lowly)
Mavs.

Last night, in the Wolves first victory of the season, he had 14 points
(4-9, 6-7), 12 rebounds (Person and West were next with 9 each), and 5
blocks in 35 minutes, 14 of which (including almost all of the 4th Q) were
at the center position.  Against Golden State he had an even better performance;
if I remember correctly, ~26 points and 14 boards, 7 offensive.

I have been pleasantly surprised at his play/toughness under the basket, and he
has demonstrated his ability to handle the ball as well (one beautiful
defensive rebound/length of the court dribble/jam sequence).  He makes some
mistakes, but no more so than most of the "veterans", who are all still getting
used to playing together.

With the expectation that "things can only get better", I think he is going to
be much better than his detractors expect.  It seems that he will be dividing
his time between the 4 and 5 spots (at least until one of our "true" centers
develops into a player):  currently Spencer has been starting, then when he
picks up two early fouls Longley replaces him, then when Longley gets his two
fouls, Laettner is either moved to the center spot (from his starting 4
position), or comes back into the game at the 5 spot.  Nice that we have 4
fouls to give at that position before inserting our best center!

As CNN (or was it ESPN) pointed out in a comparison between Shaq and Alonzo:
Laettner's numbers to date far exceed those of Mourning!

Subject: Lakers  opening night
Date: 8 Nov 92 02:52:25 GMT
Organization: University of Rochester - Rochester, New York

After watching the Lakers/Clippers game yesterday night, I was left with the
following impressions:

1.  Byron Scott was playing with a lot of confidence--taking open shots 
instead of passing inside to someone in the low post.  This is a guy who will
have to pick up a lot of Magic's slack (in the scoring dept).  Byron is also
a guy the Lakers need to be hot in order to win the "big" ballgames.  

2.  Vlade Divac seemed lost.  How long will it be until Elden is starting at
the center position?  (I give Vlade maybe 30 games until he loses his starting
role...assuming he doesn't improve).

3.  Peeler didn't get much action, but at least he was cutting aggressively
to the basket.  The Lakers need a slashing guard who will draw some attention
of Sedalle and Byron (but, he's still a rookie).  Peeler did commit some 
typical rookie mistakes such as trying to do to much on defense after missing
a simple shot (he got a foul--but at least he was hustling).

4.  Worthy--nice goggles.

5.  Lakers first half was remniscent of the old "Showtime" days but the second
half removed any thoughts about that.  The Lakers showed that they can be an
offensive power with no D (Golden St. anyone?).  However, the 2nd half D was
good but no O.

6.  Overtime win on the road should be a great confidence boost for the team's
first game.  So much for the shift in the balance of power in LA b-ball.

7.  Laker guards were shooting good and should open up the inside for Worthy
and Perkins in future games.

8.  Who said John Williams can't move?  If he only lost some weight he could
be a really good player.


Overall, I would say that the Lakers game was good.  However, the dropoff in
the level of play in the first half and the second half was a little dis-
appointing.  But, maybe the Clippers a good team, so a win at their home
should be considered a major plus.  Next up is Sacramento.  Are they good
now or was the Spurs game a fluke??!?  

Lakers + Magic = 70 wins.
Lakers - Magic = ?? wins. (hey, you never know)

same in bball, too.  It IS a contact flow. e.g, Mailman hitting Isiah Thomas.
with recent rumors of Isiah "bashing Magic and this homosexuality crap"
who knows what may turn up?

Put yourself in Karl's shoes.  If Magic is coming down the lane, do you take
a hard foul or let him score.  If it were me, I'd let him score; 2 points
ain't worth the risk.  I don't care what those so-called doctors say, you
CAN'T determine the probability of catching AIDS during a basketball game.
A hard foul, a little blood, and voila!!!   It CAN happen, so why not 
eliminate the risk?  You can't say that it can`t happen because you know it
can.

It's good to see Magic retire.  He's had a complete career and finished on
high notes.  Olympics, all-star MVP, number retired, etc...   
go out in style and be content.

I'm not saying that basketball players bleed as much as hockey players, but
that there is contact which makes blood exchange possible in both sports.

Don't know about current health status, but if u r a celtic fan (I assume),
then u should be thrilled about getting Vaught for Barry. (that provisional
upon who the "other player" is). Loy is a strong rebounder and competent
inside defender. Decent touch on short (<12') jumpers...Plays hard
consistently and has adapted to the pro game. Perhaps the best pro
of the Michigan group that won National Championship in '89 (Rumeal Robinson,
Terry Mills, Sean Higgins)
