These records only support the notion that the Pacific is by far the best
division. If the midwest is full of cream-puffs, why does the central
division have a losing record against them? I grant that Dallas is basically
a walk in the park, and Minnesota isn't much better, but Washington and
Miami aren't exactly powerhouses either. The pacific has the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd best records in the NBA, all separated by a game and a half. It's tought
o do better than that.

Dear Mike,

Here's a piece of advice: Don't leave your terminal unattended.
While you were gone, some moron used it to post a 100-char per
line, content-free, abusive and ignorant flame that makes *you*
look like a dickhead.

I am sure that as an employee of Sun you are a much better person
than that.  I am sure that you actually have a sense of humor
that is somewhat beyond the sophomoric.  That you can tell the
difference between relevant stats and mindless drivel.  And that you
can write a sentence that doesn't wander aimlessly into three dots.

But, your evil twin who used your account in your absence is clearly
not like that.  So be careful, Mike, or the good folk on RSBP will
start believing that *you* are that dorky dickhead.


--Gidi


PS:  In four trips to the playoffs in the 70's, the Warriors lost only
one first round series.  But what does that have to do with Don Nelson?
I guess that's a question that only a well-adjusted person like Mike
can answer.

	Well -- "Eye in the Sky" came out in 1983, so I don't think the song

	Interesting note -- when the Pistol died, the doctors that examined

In a recent post some possible undergraduates were mentioned as going
hardship including Grant Hill. I would be totally amazed if he went pro early.

How many other DUke players have done this especially since K has been coach?

Grant's father Calvin, being a Yale man, would allmost surely have a negative
view of this.

One more year will give Grant more time to work on his outside shot which
he will surely need as a pro. He will allmost certaintly go higher as a 
senoir than a junior and make up for some of the money he would forego by
leaving early.

He will get to play next year with the next good player from his alma matter,
South Lakes HS, Joey Beard a 6'10" player who can shoot as opposed to that
large player C Parks who has not YET shown he is big time.

The problem with your jokes is that they have abso-fuckin-lutely
nothing to do with reality.  I mean, I'm a Nellie-hater and a Warriors
non-fan, and I couldn't see any point in your so-called jokes.

To wit:

Hardaway doesn't pass?  Then how did he get 10.0 apg in 91-92,
and about the same amount this year?

>[...] Don Nelson's [...] can't coach

Personally I think he's a very good coach and a lousy GM, but I admit
that that's debatable.

>[...] earthquakes and Warriors first round playoff losses have [...]
>Both are relatively frequent Bay Area occurrences 

In their recent incarnation, the Warriors reached the playoff four
times:  in 1987, 89, 91 and 92.  The first three times they *won*
in the first round, upsetting a higher ranked opponent (Utah, Utah,
San Anton.)  Last year was the first time they lost in the first round
of the playoffs since 1972.

I wish that earthquakes were that rare!

>[...] Don Nelson and I [...]
>Neither one of us has been to an NBA finals.

So who was that guy that sank the funny shot to beat the Lakers in
game 7 at the Forum in 1969?

Hi.  Does anyone know what the status of these two Spurs is?  I can't
remember seeing them all year, and I was wondering how long they will be
out, etc.  Please email me at fafuria@phoenix.princeton.edu if you have
any info for me.  Thanks!

Clyde is the class of the NBA when it comes to sportsmanship.  Enough said.


Anyway, for those of you who are interested, I typed these in from the
newspaper...  I hope this will put this thread to rest and we can get back to
bball!  (And I'm going to the Sonics/Blazers game on Saturday! :)   )...


 January 26

The Portland Trail Blazers have angrily denied a Salt Lake City police report
that implicates some of them to potential sexual misconduct with two runaway
teenage girls. The players expressed amazement and disgust at the detailed
descriptions of sexual activity the report contained... and they denied almost
everything. Seven first names were listed in the report. Six of those names
match names on the Blazer roster. The alleged activities of two were discussed
extensively, and the other four were mentioned only in passing. One of the
teenage girls was quoted in the report as saying she had sex with three
players. Another girl said she had sex with one of the Blazers. Clyde Drexler
called the allegations ``the most vicious lies'' he had ever seen in his life.


January 27
The Portland Trail Blazers are breathing a sigh of relief
this afternoon. Salt Lake City police have decided not to press charges
against several Blazers who allegedly had sex with two underage girls at
a Utah hotel. Police spokesman Marty Vuyk says the two 16-year-olds told
the players they were 18... and the girls consented to sex. Players and
coaches reacted with anger yesterday when they learned their names had
been connected with the incident. Clyde Drexler called the girls' story
``a bunch of the most vicious lies'' he had ever seen in his life.
Despite everyone's innocence in the case, Buck Williams says he's afraid
the players will be judged guilty by the public just because their names
were mentioned. Meanwhile, Trail Blazer vice president Geoff Petrie is
criticizing the Salt Lake City police for making the report public when
there had been no formal charges filed.

Can anyone out there tell me why Dee Brown wasn't selected to 
the slam dunk contest? Anyone here anything in the Globe or Herald
that would explain it? I'm thinking that it might have been his
decision or something.

I don't have a complete list, but here are two notables:

Danny Manning.  RFA at the end of this season.  Has the option to
sign with the Clippers and become an UFA at the end of next season.

Ron Harper.  Unless the Clippers raise his salary to $4 million, he
becomes an UFA at the end of this season.  Speculation in the LA
media is that the Clippers will *not* give him the $4 mil.


Just a thought:  wouldn't it be amusing to see these two guys skip
across town and put on Laker Purple?  (Well, not amusing to the
other teams in the West.  A starting five of Threatt, Harper, Worthy,
Manning, and Perkins, with a bench of Peeler, Scott, Green,
Campbell, and Divac would be an outstanding team.)  Unfortunately
for Laker fans, Vlade's $3.6-million salary makes it all but
impossible.
