	Well, yes, the 3-pt line in the Olympics was only about 21", as opposed
	to about 23" in the NBA.  2 feet isn't going to make THAT much

Both.

He never played a regular season game, but played in one preseason game
for some movie (the name of which escapes me at the moment).

Two guesses, each with five players currently on NBA rosters, UNC '83-'84 and
UNC '88-'89.  

'83-'84 had Sam Perkins, Michael Jordan, Kenny Smith, Joe Wolf, and Brad
Daugherty 

'88-'89 had Herman (J.R.) Reid Jr., Scott Williams, Ulrich Fox, Pete Chilcutt,

Possible teams that top this would be Syracuse within the past 3-4 years, or

Here's the weekly posting of "If the playoffs were today".  It doesn't
have much meaning yet, but it will.  I'll try to post it most Tuesdays
(that's when I get the standings).  I didn't post last week because two

Subject: Rodney McCray - Overrated??
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 22:15:21 GMT

During the off-season, I was excited to hear that the Bulls got
McCray, giving up an untested rookie in return. I did not know much about
McCray but he was hyped up to be the perfect backup to Jordan and/or
Pippen. Well let the truth be known: This guy sucks humongous rookie dick(pardon
my language). In the 10 games so far, this guy's physical play makes Brad
Sellers look like Karl Malone. I thought he was going to backup Pippen but
his ball-handling skills are relatively weak and therefore he doesn't fit
well as a backup to Pippen or in the Bull's offensive scheme. Therefore Pippen and Jordan are stilling logging lots of minutes. I wouldn't mind if this guy could
put up some points but alas his offense sucks. He doesn't have good range on his
shot and is too soft to really play inside. The only points I've seen him score
were to put in a few weak layups from a good pass from another team member.
Personally, I'm beginning to wonder if Byron Houston could have fit better
into the Bulls' complicated offensive schemes. Comments?

It was the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers -- the Warriors left for San Francisco,
and later Golden State, three years previous -- and their record *was* 68-13.
That was the last season the NBA played a balanced 10-team schedule, and each
club met the others nine times...thus, 81 games for the season.  (When San
Diego and Seattle came into the NBA the following season, the 82-game schedule
was adopted.)

Subject: Stockton leads Jazz to 5-0 road record
Reply-To: swindle@rainier.ee.byu.edu


The Utah Jazz, whose best yearlong road record in franchise history is
19-22, are now 5-0 on the road this year after beating the Pacers
tonight 97-95 on John Stockton's 18-ft jumper with 1.6 seconds left.
Stockton had to leave the game for a while early on when he and
Krystkowiak collided -- Stockton required 5 stitches above his left
eye, but came back and didn't seem bothered by it.  What with
Drexler's finger to the eye in last year's playoffs, and Jordan's
collision that broke his leg in the "pre"-Olympics, this poor Stockton
guy has had his share of misfortune lately.

Gee, I might even start believing all this "Jazz vs. Bulls in the
finals"  hype I'm hearing; that is, if it weren't for those damn 6-0
Trailblazers and Charles Berzerkley's Suns.

One more note on tonight's game:  Ty Corbin, that model citizen of a
small forward, was ejected!  (I didn't hear why......)

No flame intended here either but what about Charlie Sifford?
Also isn't golf THE game at the country club. Most people who
play golf own their clubs but to play some hoops you can just
go down to the local court and someone will have one.

(The first jackson listed is jaren, second one is mark, in case you couldn't
tell).

So, you're right that Spencer and Woods have played in fewer games and for less
time than the rest, but it's my impression that Coach Brown has been distribut-
ing playing time pretty evenly, as compared to teams like Sacramento, etc...
There's also quite a few players averaging nearly or over 10 ppg.  

It just looks like Spencer's minutes, or the few that he's gotten, weren't 
QUALITY minutes.

Wrong, for the Rockets -- they had that nickname when the franchise was
granted to San Diego in 1967, and kept it when the team moved here to
Houston in 1971.  Obviously, it *does* make more sense here than it did in
San Diego.

Well, I am a RABID Blazer fan, and I couldn't agree more.  I literally
echoed much of what you said in your post last year while watching the
payoffs and finals.  If this group had a real coach, they'd be
awesome.  All they can muster with Adelman is greatness.

The Orlando Magic have signed forward Tom Tolbert.  Tolbert
was signed to fill the roster spot that opened when Terry
Catledge was placed on IR.  Catledge has a broken finger,
and is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks.  In addition, the
status of forward Brian Williams is being evaluated on a
day-to-day basis, following his collapse during a team
practice session.  He has not been placed on IR, but will
not be with the team for the game against the Knicks.

   True.

 This one I do have to dispute. Besides the fact that before this season both point guards(Armstrong and Paxson) were splitting time evenly so neither had a chance to put up big numbers. With B.J. averaging over 30 minutes a game, his assists have risen to over 5 a game. ButI'm sure since you said you were a fan that 
you know that even if B.J. does bring the ball up court he passes to Michael or Scottie as soon as he crosses the time line. The offense starts with Michael andScottie and B.J. is about the third option. He does however bring them another 
dimension that Paxson doesn't have. He can drive and rarely does he drive and not come away with "something" whether it be two points or two shots. Paxson rarely comes within 5 feet of the lane.
