Mark Macon has (essentially) been named a starter in the backcourt,
along with Chris Jackson, by coach Dan Issel.  He was handed the
starting job before training camp, and played well enough in the
preseason (shot over 45%, decent assist/turnover ratio, still tough
defense) to justify him starting.  Then last week he sprained both
ankles in practice, and is listed as day-to-day.  If he can't play,
Reggie Williams will go at guard and Marcus Liberty at forward.

Marcus Liberty was up and down in the preseason, after being touted
as a starter.  That, coupled with Chris Jackson showing his abilities,
has moved Jackson into the starting lineup and kept Reggie Williams
at forward.

Both Macon and Liberty will play alot this year in Denver.  One guy
who won't is Winston Garland, who was cut yesterday to get the roster
down to 12 players.  It became rather clear that Garland was expendable
after the Nuggs traded for Robert Pack, and had handed the point guard
job to Macon.  Garland was cut even though his contract was guaranteed
and Pack has no guaranteed contract.  GM Bernie Bickerstaff said the
Nuggs are going with a young backcourt, looking toward the future.
Garland is 27 years old.

After watching the Bulls last second win in overtie over the Pistons
I have to ask "What is wrong with Jordan's back?"


He did make the shot to win the game but he was definately hurting.
He lloked like he was in pain (or extreme discomfort) throught the 
second half.


Any comments?

This morning on the radio I heard that USA Today is picking
Chicago and Phoenix in the finals.  Chicago...yeah, I can see
them doing the three-peat thing, but Phoenix??  Barkley does
add to the team, but I saw them play just this last Monday,
and if they continue to play like they did then, they'll be
fortunate to BE in the playoffs.  The west has too much 
potential to be picking an almost totally revamped team
emerging as champs.  Phoenix COULD be good, but they 
are relatively untested, so who knows?  I like the Jazz or
the Blazers chances much better.

	Right. It was the insurance company that mandated the HIV blood test.
The NBA had nothing to do with the test. And neither the insurance company nor
the Lakers (if indeed they even knew about it at the time) announced that 
Johnson was HIV+. Johnson was the only person who could legally make that
information public.

	The policy isn't 'new'. It was in effect last year too. And HIV isn't the
only virus they are worried about, Hepititis B can also be contracted via direct
blood transfer.

Are we talking about the same Divac here? The one who plays for the LA 
Lakers? If that is the case, I don't know what yardstick you used in 
saying he is "extremely smart". I've watched him play for some 3 seasons 
now, and he is anything but smart. He may have some semblance of
smartness if Magic is on the court baby sitting him, cajoling him,
reminding him that golden blazerred ones on the court are the ones
he should be passing the ball to, and that there is more to the game 
than clumsily running around from one end to another. Without Magic, 
the guy looks like a 5 year old kid separated from his mother at a mall.
Sorry, but I am probably insulting little kids here...

Or perhaps your idea of smartness is knowing that you are worth not 
more than the NBA minimum of $140,000/yr, but successfully negotiating 
a $3.5 mil/yr 5 year contract?

Byron Scott SUCKS. Always has. Always will. Is the perennial

The All Time Biggest Sulker.

Is fine in the preseason, and against teams who have
no shooting guard threat. Get him into the Finals, or make

No comment on Magic, but this statement is rediculous.  Do you really know
how old jim is?  What does age have to do with it?  Experience might come
into play, but I know a lot of 60 year olds who do not even concieve the
meaning of "sound judgement" let alone have it.

Dispute his claims and opinions, but don't use the "when your older line".

What will all the teams trade players for? They way it is at the moment
when teams trade players who they want to get rid of due to the salary
cap or they want to look at some one else on their roster, they 
usually trade for a couple of extra second round picks (Among others
S. Threat from Sea to LAL, Pack from Portland to Denver) 

This is a really stupid reason why not to limit the draft, but GM's 
really don't like to just give players away, no matter how low their 
value is.

I havent heard any reasons for it.  I can only guess that Loughery just
didnt want to play his rookies till late in the game, and then the
veterans went into a slide and he couldnt do it.  Harold Miner's preseason
stats were good, like you'ld expect, so I dont think it was a question
of ability, just experience.

8 games, 18.7 min/game, 33-77 fg (.402), 27-33 ft (.818)
4 or, 17 tr, 4 asst, 89 pts, 11.1 ppg, high game 16 pts

Anyone hear any other reasons?

You're probably right, Roy (it pains me to say that), CJ never really lost
his shot.  What he lost was sight of his feet as his waistline expanded the
past two years.

And yes, it could be that the new coach (Dan Issel) has something to do
with it.  It could also be that after ballooning to 194lbs., CJ decided
that, being in the crucial year of his contract, and having nothing to
show for his first two years, he'd better do something about it.  He lost
weight to about 165lbs, his playing weight at LSU.  This relieved stress
problems with his feet, and encouragement from Issel helped him get his
mental confidence back.  Clearly he is happier and his play shows it.
Being at his "ideal" weight also helps alot.

For two years, he was a wasted pick.  He did nothing for two years to 
warrant his #3 selection or his salary.  That is obviously changing, and
as we've said, alot of factors are involved (maturity as well -- he'd be a
rookie now if he'd stayed at LSU).  He's also being allowed to look for his
shot much more, even though these first two games he played the point and
was abused down low on defense by Lloyd Daniels and Terry Porter (especially
Daniels).  When Mark Macon returns, Macon will play the point on offense
and let CJ concentrate on scoring, and on defense their roles will reverse.

It's obvious that CJ can score alot, and is able to get off his shot from
the outside with excellent range, and he's driving to the basket for layups
or passes to guys for dunks.  His 'game' has returned, and it's nice to see
that.

I would like to thank you for proving my point, and that is that not even 
you Laker lovers can find a reliable or decent point guard out of:
     
Duane Cooper, Anthony Peeler, Tony Smith, Roy Sparrow, Sedale Threat

How do you expect one of these to be able to lead your Lakers to an
NBA title, much less past the second round in the playoffs.

By the way, you didn't have to get so pissed off about the misspelling of
dear old Magic's name.  I had a bet with a friend that most Laker fans
weren't smart enough notic it, but I guess there is at least on.

Hope to here from you soon.

LAKERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
