The whole point of the 5-game IR is that when a player is put on the IR,
he must stay out *at least* 5 games, even if he's ready to come back
earlier.  Teams put players on the IR so that they can put a substitute
player (typically someone who was on the IR :-)) on the bench (no more
than 12 players can be on the active roster at a time).  There's only one
IR list, and it makes no difference whether a player is out for 5 games or
the rest of the season in that regard.  The only other way to augment the
active roster would be to waive or release a player.  I think (not sure)
that a team can have at most 2 players on the IR at any one time?

Starting now (Jan 9), teams are able to sign players to 10-day contracts
(maximum of two contracts per player), so expect to see some additional
players "injured".

For example, last year the Blazers effectively kept 13 players available
(12 active and 1 "injured") for most of last season through creative use
of the IR list.

Ernie Johnson (half time host for TNT) was giving the NBA news.  This,
he said, came from the NBA office.  I give this a lot more credability
than if I heard it from hUBBie bROWn.

BTW hUBBie bROWn was doing the game on TNT.  When this happen he said
that is was BEFORE the REF gave the ball to be inbounded.
He is completely full of shit.  I can't believe he is still around.
He has got to be the worst color man around!!!

Hi, folks!

Well, can the Celtics make it number 6 tonight?  They're at Cleveland this 
evening, and I must admit, I'm a bit nervous about this one.  The New 
Jersey game was fantastic up until the end of the 3rd quarter when Boston 
began losing the 22 point lead in the 4th.  The Celtics created a quick 
running game (Yes, I know. The Celtics? A quick running game?) and began 
to pile on the points.  It's probably the best they've played this season. 
 I'll be crossing my fingers on tonight's game.

Actually, Nellie wanted to get tossed in that game.  He had just
come down with the flu and was steadily getting sicker on the bench.
Feeling he was about to collapse, he laid into the officials, got the
T, and got tossed.  He felt that if he had to leave the game anyways,
he might as well get his money's worth.

I agree with the above points.  Alexander and Houston have the physical aspect
of being the enforcers for Warriors.  Gatling seems a little small.  as does 
Hill.  However, right now my pick would be Houston.  He is an awesome defender,
but he just hasn't picked up the reputation yet.  During the Sonics game, 
he had a handful of clean blocks, even on Kemp!  I remember one block he had
was on Shawn going for a dunk.  it wasn't a face-front block but more from
the side as Shawn was going up...Houston sort of swiped it from the side.

I think it might have been Houston that kept the number of blocks between Seattle 
and GoldenState even-stevens during the game.

Another note:

Latrell Spreewell is a really awesome player.  I saw him for the first time 
at the Sonics game.  He is for real.  Nice Jordanesque moves and a ggood outside
touch (at least in that game, but one game does not a player make :)

I have a vague recollection (can somebody confirm this?) of hearing
that no team can be represented by more than one player in the slam
dunk contest.  Thus, Ceballos and Dumas could not both be in the
contest (barring trades).  (Being that Ceballos is the defending
champion and wants to defend his title, that would mean that Dumas
would be outta luck.)

My picks would be: Benoit Benjamin, Stanley Roberts, Kevin
Duckworth, Oliver Miller, Muggsy Bogues, Spud Webb, Greg Grant, and
Michael Adams.  Wouldn't this be fun to watch?  :^)

I wonder how Jimmy would fit into the Sonics line-up.  for one thing, he would 
probably want a lot of money.  but would he get the playing time?  I see
a similar episode with Benjamin.  Big contract, but playing time in question.
Luckily, though, Pierce and Johnosn are getting old (or unluckily depending
on how you see it) and Jimmy Jackson would probably be groomed as the starting
shooting guard of the future.

Actually, i think the trade would work well with Seattle because Pierce hasn't
been doing too well from the games i have seen this Christmas break AND from
last year.  I think he is a ballhog.  On the break, when there's like a 3-1, 
Pierce could easily pass the ball to Kemp or someone else who is on the break 
but Pierce always takes it up for the shot, someitmes even drawing the offensive
foul. 

I think if the sonics signed Jimmy, and he proved to be the talent everyone 
thinks he is, then he could possibly take the starting shooting guard spot
right away.  Question is , how well would he really fit into the system?  he
sould definitley not be getting star minutes.... like I posted earlier, each
team member is getting less thqan 35 minutes a game..i think the average is 
somewhere around 20.

Finally, I don't know if Benjamin should be traded until King can play.  From
my friends up here in Seattle, they were telling me how King attended the Big
Man's camp, and before regular season started, he was running circles around 
Big Ben.  Although Ben doesn't get many minutes, he is useful at times.. and
I am still surprised that he hustles that much and people give him a bad wrap
(at the GS game, i believe I counted three , maybe two, times when Ben was in
and outhustled a GSW to a ball going out of bounds.)

Ah.  Good observation, Dave.  It actually hadn't even occurred to me
that a team with Dan Majerle and Danny Ainge would need another
person to play the 2guard spot.  And with Dumas and Ceballos
splitting time at the SF spot, and Barkley and Majerle chipping in
on occasion, Phoenix must be looking for another small forward.
Especially a 6-5 one-- this team doesn't have enough short guys.

:^)

Seriously, unless JJ can play the point guard position more
effectively than Negele Knight, this trade will not help Phoenix at
all.  (Not immediately anyway.  When Ainge retires in three seasons,
he can back up Majerle at 2guard.)

Would you?
 
------------------------------------------------
 
After 30 games of the season, we compare Hakeem Olajuwon to Patrick Ewing.
We find:
 
Category:  FG made  FG missed  FT made  FT missed  Reb.   Ast.   Stl.   TO
 
Leader:    Hakeem   Ewing      Hakeem   Ewing      Hakeem Hakeem Hakeem Ewing
 
My questions are:
 
  1) has a `shutout' like this ever lasted for a whole season?  If so,
     who and when?
 
  2) How can anyone with a brain claim that Ewing is one of the top three
     centers in the league?  Besides the above, his defensive presence is
     almost nil compared the the Big 3.

I think it's neat; helps show just how overrated Ewing is.

Notes
-----
1)  This game tied Minnesota's lowest output of the season.

2)  The combined lines of Minnesota's true centers was 14 minutes, 1-7 field
goals, 3-4 free throws, 6 rebounds, 3 fous, and 5 points.  This habit has to
change if the Timberwolves are going to beat any teams besides Dallas.

3)  Bob McCann received his first career NBA start and scored 7 points.

4)  Minnesota was still in the game at halftime, but the Lakers came out and
led off the second half with a 9-2 run to put the game away.  Coach Jimmy
Rodgers said that he was happy with the way his team played in the first half,
but they couldn't execute during the third quarter.

Minnesota's next game is Friday when they host Seattle.

This is my first posting to this newsgroup and what I would be thankful for
is some advice on how Luc Longley is performing with the Timberwolves.

I'm afraid the Australian press doesn't really cover the NBL to a great 
degree so some information on the above would be appreciated.
