Only Karl Malone knows his sex life -- as far as any of the rest of his know, he and his
recent bride are and have always been faithful.  We all know Karl has seen blood on the

A an answer to Sean Knickman (fall260@cse.unl.edu) ('s) question about Laker
pt guards.  

Sedalle Threat is awesome.  He consistently shoots above 50% from the field.  Two years ago he was second for guards behind MJ.

Sedalle is very capable and now he has some capable backups in Cooper and Smith.The youth movement with Peeler at guard and the "rejuvenated" Scott also help.

Sedalle has more than enough tools to work with so I don't think PG is a problem
in LA (of course "Majic" wouldn't have hurt).

I'm just curious since I haven't seen the Nuggets play, but does CJ's renaissance
have anything to do with plans to play him more as a 2 guard? Is he actually
playing more at SG now or was that just talk? And if he does play SG, who
does he defend? He's only 6'1" right?

	Well, what U saw was a Suns team WITHOUT all-star point guard
	and team leader Kevin Johnson.  When he comes back at full speed,
	he'll take the Suns to another level.  At this point, Negele Knight
	is doing a decent job at the controls (albeit his shooting is rather

Subject: Warriors Roster
Date: 6 Nov 92 16:10:34 GMT
Organization: LLNL_LIS


	The Warriors open the season tonight in Utah with this roster (the
first guy named at each position is the starter) --

1's - Hardaway, Jennings
2's - Sprewell, Grayer
3's - Mullin, Buechler
4's - Owens, Houston
5's - Hill, Gatling, Alexander, Lister
IR's - Marchiulionis

	Tom Tolbert was waived yesterday to get the roster down.  Hopefully
he'll catch on somewhere else.  Last year wasn't so good for him, but the
two years before had been not bad, and he'd definitely helped the team.
	Gone from last year's team are Rod Higgins, Mario Elie, Vincent
Askew, Jim Petersen, and, now, Tolbert -- a 42% turnover.  The players
that have replaced them look to be better, and Grayer, Sprewell, and
Houston will all add defensive intensity.  The average experience on the
team in about 2.5 years, and the average age around 26.

	I'm not sure if the Warriors will win 55 games this year, as they
did last year, but there are a lot of reasons to be optomistic about their
chances.  I have a feeling they'll get by the first round of the playoffs.
And even if they don't, there's no team that plays more exciting
basketball night in and night out.

So, I have the following box score from last night's Sixers/Nets game:

		FGM-A   FTM-A	PTS
New Jersey:
Morris		12-17	4-4	28
Coleman		5-15	8-10	18
Bowie		4-8	0-0	8
Petrovic	9-18	8-8	27
K.Anderson	9-17	2-2	20
Dudley		0-4	1-4	1
Addison		0-3	0-0	0
Robinson	0-1	0-0	0
George		3-4	0-0	6
Williams	3-4	0-0	6
Brown		0-1	0-0	0
Team		45-92	23-28	114

Rebounds: 59 (Coleman 15)
Assists: 23 (Anderson 8)

Philadelphia
Weatherspoon	7-13	3-10	17
Gilliam		7-13	1-2	15
Lang		2-2	1-2	5
Hornacek	8-18	6-6	22
Hawkins		10-16	1-3	21
Grant		3-6	2-4	8
Shackleford	1-3	0-0	2
R.Anderson	1-4	12-12	14
Perry		2-2	3-4	7
Payne		0-1	0-0	0
Team		41-78	29-43	111

Rebounds: 44 (Gilliam 10)
Assists: 25 (Hornacek 10)


The big question is:  Where's Johnny Dawkins?  Is he hurt?  For how long?

I didn't see the game, but it looks like Weatherspoon can play offense, 
but not defense (12-17 might be a career night percentage-wise for Morris).
And he's following in Barkley's footsteps as far as free-throws are
concerned...  Getting to the line 10 times is a good sign though.

It's also nice to see Ron Anderson's numbers.  How old is he?  34?

It looks to me that if NJ wants to contend even with NY and Boston,
they need some depth.  Unless there's someone who didn't play, they're
pretty weak in the 3-5 spot -- Coleman is it (I think Morris is too 
inconsistent).  What's the story with this -- why's everyone so high 
on the Nets?

Strickland was signed as a free agent two days after Danny Ainge went to
Phoenix (last June, I think--the day after the new salary cap was
determined).  He'll be the backup point guard (to Terry Porter) in
Portland.  He was signed in the $1.2M 'slot' formerly occupied by Wayne
Cooper, who retired to the Blazers' front office.

I'm sure there are plenty of Spurs fans waiting for the outcome
of tonight's Home Opener against the Timberwolves.  It SHOULD be
a rout!

The Spurs looked terrific Saturday in their double-OT loss against
the Nuggets, however, I must say...with 3 minutes and a 12pt lead,
I would have taken their last few Time outs when Denver went on
a 6-0 run which eventually lead to a 12-1 run and set up some
play.  Daniels, Robinson, and Elliott were horrible from the line,
which cost them this game.  

Del Negro, which averaged 1 turnover per game, including pre-season,
was bashed in the nose by Dikembe's elbow and will probably not play
tonight, but who Nose.  Contrary, to a previous message, Del Negro
does not suck and much as Kenny Anderson might have in the Spurs 
rotation.  Let's accept this fact, Robinson is the Star and when
he wants the ball, I rather have someone who will deliver or sink
a shot from 20' consistently.

Tarkanian has been working with several rotations at guard during
the preseason.  With the injuries to Carr and Del Negro, the Shark
will look to Daniels to bring it up the court.  Friday's game
against Sacramento proved that Del Negro is the man against their
pressure defense.  However, the Spurs looked awful against the
pressure, turning over the ball several times during the second
half.  The talent and chemistry is there in San Antonio to win
the Midwest...Get Carr back in the line-up and play better
defense (of course, we know Robinson's defense is terrific), and
nail those outside shots consistently, then the floor should open
up for Robinson and the great moves of Sean Elliott.

Not to leave out Dale Ellis, he played terrific consistently 
throughout Saturday's game.  This is a very potent team...
so lookout Utah....

From watching the interview, I got the impression that he was simply
explaining the basic careless nature sports athletes have sex with.  Magic has
been open with his wife and they both are trying to get the message across
about safe sex.  What I am saying is that Magic was not bragging ala
Chamberlin, but simply informing the public of what the life of the athlete is
and ultimately they have to learn that more caution will have to be taken.
Free sex might be fun, but there is a serious risk.

Jo Jo English and Gerald Madkins were cut yesterday.  There had been

but Paxson will be in uniform and see limitted action tonight.  I believe
 that the starting linup will be:
  Jordan

I expect that someone will pick up English in the next week.  He was tough

Loss of deity status for Markham?  I think not!  To the contrary his

join me in an examination:

>>all year.

>Agreed.

Subtle, succinct, clever, ingenious!  A single word reply of
deceptively great power and elegance!  On the surface it appears he
agrees with the idea that someone asking about who Pele is is sad.
But no!  As we discover in a later post our hero actually knows that
there was a smiley after the original question.  So what is he
actually trying to say, what is he agreeing to?  If not the question,
then perhaps it is the reply; indeed, as we mortals ponder the
"saddest statement" comment, we realize that it has become self
referencing!  The sad statement is that people think someone asking
"Who's Pele?" is a such a sad statement.  Further complexity is
observed as the statement is seen to be sad on two levels:

	1)  The question was obviously sarcastic, even without
		noting the smiley.  At a small level, missing
		this is sad.
	2)  More dramatically, the idea that someone might not
		be familiar with some sports figure is actually
		quite trivial, far from deserving the hyperbole
		of "saddest statement of the year".  With so
		much real sadness in the news, the comment
		takes on an almost tragically comic character.

With a single word our hero has made a crushing reply!

Then in a reply to his own post we see
> Wait a minute.  I just remembered that a couple lines below 'Who's Pele?'
> there was a smiley face.

As mentioned early, Andy reveals that he knew the question to be in jest.
By mentioning it, he also makes it clear to those who didn't realize it.

> Damn, I got caught anyway!!!  

> My first official reel-in.  How will I redeem myself?

Andy feigns ignorance!  But when he refers to his "first official
reel-in" those who truely have Faith see an important fact:  our
hero is the one actually performing the reel-in (as we already knew),
and by anointing it as "first official" we see this is a coming
out of sorts, an important event!  Those who did not understand
the previous post are informed of it's importance and should
go back and examine it, for it is special!

Most readers however will be reeled-in, believing our hero has failed
us.  They will surely not be convinced by my humble post that we see
the truth, but I can only try.  I thank you for indulging me in this
examination, and hope it has proved helpful.
