     The announcers said it was Starks who threw the cup of water.  However
this incident occured in the second half, I think Starks was already
benched at that point.
     For you non-Clipper non-Knick fans who don't know what we're talking
about:  The Knicks vs Clippers game had several near/pseudo-fights and
much yapping, especially towards the end.  My guess is that much of
it started with Jackson, who was really hyped up (and who played
hard, and well) jawing at his  former teammates, especially as the
Clippers pulled away in the 4th quarter.  The Knicks of course didn't
take kindly to this, apparently someone, apparently Starks, threw
a cup of water onto Jackson's back.  Then there was Vaught making a
"don't tread on me" gesture at Ewing, Oakley pulling Manning down
(perhaps unintentionally), Oakley shoving Williams after Williams
blocked a shot by some guard, etc. etc.
     The TV announcers, Ralph Lawler and Bill Walton (yes that
Bill Walton) actually liked it!  They claimed that this shows the
Clippers pulling together as a team and standing up for each other.
We'll see.

Gugs definitely looks bigger than 6-9. Yesterday I saw the bullets play Boston.
He looked maybe a tad shorter than Parish or McHale but doesn't have the
orangutan arm length. Anyway he is a big man

It's a tough call on whether or not this was a good move. Jackson seemed
reluctant to do it, but the injury to Paxon forced his hand. Now it's
unclear who will start when Paxon is fully recovered.  Armstrong has done
well as a starter when he's had a chance in the past, and his play off the
bench last year was strong, too. So strong, that many people thought he
should have started last year.  Now his performace in the starting role is
fine, but not *that* great.  There have been a lot of rumors about him
being unhappy and saying he should be traded, most saying that his style
was more suited to a team where he could drive and score more. There's not
too much room for him in the Bulls offense. Paxon seemed to fit into it
better, but he really seems off his game coming off the bench: no shooting
rhythmn or anything.  It's sort of sad, becuase he's been so solid for them
for the last two years, setting up the other players a lot and hitting open
shots.  He seems a bit of a better defender than Armstrong, too.  Armstrong
seems more talented on a raw level, but Pax might be the better fit for the
starting unit.  A tough choice, I think.

What would you people do about this if you were the coach/GM?

That's not really accurate. The Warriors have been making "too many
unforced mistakes," or so said Coach Don Nelson after the 105-102 loss
to the Lakers over the weekend. "Our play was not consistent." But the
team has shown it can recover both defensively and offensively, late in
a game. Overall, Golden state plays a very fast game.

Also, Kent Stewart and Terry Wong have both pointed out in recent posts that
officials have been calling minimum-contatct fouls migh tigher this
year, and that has particularly affected small teams like Golden State,
who must use some physical contact against larger teams. The harm is not
just because of the fouls, but because of the disruption of the flow of
play. Gidi Avrahami posted from a SF Chronicle article to this effect, too.

The absense of Marciulionis has also hurt the Warriors, with opponents
doubling-up on Hardaway to shut down rallies. (Hardaway did execute some
key plays over the weekend, so perhaps the team is beginning to
compensate.)

Well, no flames about GS losing six of their last seven, but I
noticed in the boxscore for last night's 1-OT loss to Charlotte,
Hardaway and Mullin each played 53 minutes.  GS got a total of 41
minutes and 5 points from the bench.

Last season, Mullin and Hardaway were #1 and #2 in the league in
minutes player.  With Rodman evidently out of the running this
season, it looks like Mullin and Hardaway are going to occupy the
top two spots again.

This is indicative of a significant problem in GS--  no bench!
(Don't give me any of that "Rooney's injured" crap, either.  He's a
virtual starter.  Last season, GS had only four regular starters--
Hardaway, Mullin, Owens, and Hill-- while Nelson kept trying
different players as placeholders for Marciulionis.)

Usually players who are the most awarded or accoladed are pretty
good.  In the case of Laetner I'd say this holds true.  Lets be
honest, Christian Laetner's knowledge of the game after playing 
four years under Coach K must have been far superior to that of
O'Neil under Dale Brown.  In addition O'Neil had shunned the 
American team in the Pan-Am games, while Laetner had chosen to
participate.  So this leaves a choice between a player with a 
great knowledge of basketball, with international experience and
a player who wasn't nurtured in nearly the same way.  I don't
believe K's presence on the coaching staff hurt him either. 

I'm getting tired of people blaming all of this crud on racism or
whatever.  For goodness sakes, the US team already had two great
centers in David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, and they could have
used another F/C type especially since Larry Birds health was a 
concern.  Besides, I don't believe that at the time the Olympic team
was selected anyone had an idea of how great an impact Shaquile
would have in the NBA.  Sure they were touting him as the next
Chamberlain or whatever, but there was a lot of concern as to
how ready he was for the NBA or International play.  Laetner was
the college player of the year, so he should have, and did go.
So quit blaming all of this on race, because the Olympica committee's
decision had nothing to do with it.

who can tell for absolute sure but the Post gave Goog's height earlier
this year as *actually* 6-9 3/4.

And yes for those who haven't seen him play yet he is the real McCoy.
Similar but more athletic than Bird but before anyone gets too excited
about this post yes he's still a rookie (7gms exp)....perhaps a better

... like Bill Laimbeer or Bill Cartwright :)  Really, I think there
is enough talent to get them to another level, but I think it is
a couple of years down the line.  

They have to improve their defense and their inside game.  Drafting 
Latrell Sprewell and Byron Houston could help with this.  Hopefully,
they get the same improvement from their big men as the Bulls got
from Horace Grant.
