Well, Robinson was only part of it.  Adding Sean Elliott and Terry Cummings

I just got done watching the Rockets demolish the Bulls.  As a season ticket
holder I am somewhat dismayed at the lack of focus and intensity the Bulls
seem to have this year. Where do you all think the problems lie?

I think you can get in the lane right after the ball leaves the hand IF you
are lined up on the side of the key. However the shooter and anyone else
on the floor behind the foul line can't enter the key until the ball hits
the rim. Jordan wasn't lined up on the key but came flying in from above 
the free throw line about the same time the ball was releasing. Pretty 
good trick if you can get away with it. (which MJ obviously did)

Charlotte wasn't considering any of these players.  The player who they
were looking at instead of J.R. was Stacy King.  At that time, I thought
that they should have taken Stacy King but today we see that it didn't
really matter.  Sure, if they had a crystal ball they would have taken one
of those players who went deeper in the draft.

bravo!  somebody got billy knight.  sadly, most nba fans saw nothing
of the true billy knight, who was a terror in the ABA.  additionally, 
how about K> larry "special K" kenon?

I noticed in the box score that Tony Bennett seemed to have a pretty decent
game against the Bulls last night. I always thought he'd be a pretty good
NBA player. Is he doing okay? Will he stick with the team for awhile?

Well...  but he is still a rookie...  and has already made more of an

This is the scary thing: he can still improve a lot!!!

I don't believe any of this is going to happen, the GM for the Kings is
denying everything (sure they have talked to Dallas about JJ but nothing
specific, also JJ's agent is the same one that represents Dennis Hopkins
(sp?) and he asked for too much money so the Kings didn't resign him so I
doubt that they would be able to sign JJ).  But how is JJ proven talent he
hasn't played a single game in the NBA yet has he?  We know how great
collegiate talent can flounder in the pros.  With Simmons they know who
they have and that is a is better than average rebounder who typically
scores in 20+ range.

Probably not.  But the L-Train and a draft pick is too costly.

The Lakers evened the Bucks record at 10-10 last night.
Not a very nice welcome for Mike Dunleavy, but hey, we didn't
ask him to leave..... :-)

I look at the problems the Bucks have had as the Gods enacting 
revenge upon Herbert Kohl for stealing Dunleavy from us (even though
we sort of stole him in the first place :-).

Anyway, every night it seems that someone else steps up for
the Lakers. Against Portland, it was Sedale; against the Bullets,
Perkins; last night, Anthony Peeler had his career-high 21 points.
The Lakers had 6 men in double figures (this is getting to be
a habit with them); Pfund's diversified offense is really working.
James Worthy had his best game in some time, getting 15 points
in 33 minutes on 6-14 shooting, plus 6 rebounds. AC Green: 18
points, 12 boards in 30 minutes.

The Lakers went 4-0 on the home stand, though all of the games
were against teams who had played the previous night. I've never
heard of such a scheduling oddity before.......The team hits the
road now with a fair amount of momentum; it will be interesting
to see if their recent success carries over.

When did break away rims come into use?

Along this line, I remember Barry once stating that he used to take
a wrench with him on road trips.  

Further along this line, I wonder if teams actually use what
ever leeway they have in the tightness of the rim to help themselves; as,
for example, a baseball team might use in setting the height of the mound,
or length of the infield grass.
