Something like 54%! He's gotta be leading all other point guards by a mile
here. His shots, when they go in, never seem to touch iron. When he misses,
it ain't by much.

Some credit goes to the coaching staff George Karl and Tim Gurgurich. Karl's
style of play is better suited to Gary (vs. KC Jone's style). I suspect that
the Hornets fans know who Gurgurich is. Larry Johnson credits his success (a
bunch of it) to Tim.

All of the Sonics have improved this year. However, Payton's play has made
the difference in this year's team. I truely believe that Gary has taken
the team up a notch.

True. Nate has, however, improved. All of those years when he was discouraged
from shooting had some negative affect. Against Portland Nate had 8 points, 7
rebounds and 15 assists. With these kind of numbers it's hard to knock Nate :-)

Eerie is what it was. It was like a collective gasp.

	no doubt, phenix has 'too much' talents this year.
	they have all the big-name players such as tommy chamber,
	KJ, barkeley, ceballos, danny ainge, dan majerle...this is
	what's gonna kill them this year. i am thinking that they
	MiGHT not be 'together' enuf mentally to earn an championship.
	everybody wants to show off, barkeley was traded because he
	WaNTED to be traded to a 'championship' team, he wants a championship
	for him and for himself only. he COULD very well be a selfish
	player, i'm not sure, but sure looks like it. he has overshadowed
	the S.T.A.R. players in phoenix.


>Can anyone beat them??  The Bulls, no.  The Knicks... No.  The Blazers, yeah
>right..  The Jazz..  not this year...

	i think the bulls just beat them in october, 1992, right?
	i could be wrong because i remember that jordan and the company
	went to phoenix and beat them by about 10 pts, yeah, that's right,
	it was jordan's first visit to phoenix's newly constructed 'great
	west arena'. jordan and the bulls killed the phoenix, no doubt.
	the telecaster even said, "let's wait for the rematch in chicago
	in march of 93..." yup, we'll see who can beat phoenix. :)

The boxscore in the LA Times, and apparently all other newspapers,
had an error.  Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what the
error was.  My best guess is that Tom Tolbert should be 2-3
on FGs (which is what this template has), not 4-6 (which is what
the newspapers had).

I agree; I don't think there's anybody in the West who plays the kind of
defense the Bulls and Knicks are capable of. I do think the Suns are
going to the Finals barring injury, but assuming the Bulls get there and
are healthy I look for a Bulls threepeat (though not an easy series).
Unlike many Bulls fans and the Chicago media, I am not in the least bit
surprised or disturbed by the Bulls' relatively uneven play so far this
season. They have been working in some new players in the rotation
(notably McCray), and have not been entirely healthy (Paxson's problems,
Pippen's ankle, Jordan's small injuries), and most importantly, they
must find it ever more difficult to get properly psyched up for
first-half games against teams like Philadelphia these days. For the
Bulls, this is the exhibition season; the real season starts in April. I
have full confidence in Phil Jackson to get them cooking on all
cylinders by March or so, and then we will see that the addition of
McCray and the elevation of Armstrong and Williams have in fact
improved the team, and if Pippen's ankle is better (I'm hoping they give
him a week off to heal) then I don't see anybody in the East who can
stop them. Once they get to the FInals against the Suns I expect a
helluva a good series but the Bulls will win.

Perhaps the word you want for Kite is unconscionably--certainly
that applies to the people who have the nerve to charge money
for the tickets to watch him play.

"Unconscious" means something different than "playing well."
It's more like the tennis expression "in the zone."  Both refer
to a period of time when everything falls into place for you.
In tennis, everything you hit falls just inside the line. 
In basketball, every shot falls, you have a great sense of
where every rebound is going to bounce, where every pass is 
headed, and exactly which fakes the opposition will go for.
Even lousy athletes can have a version of this experience,
because it's not a matter of physical accomplishment.  It's
having such a feel for the right thing to do that you don't
think about what the next step is, you just react.  "Unconscious"
means not being bothered by thoughts, doubts, or second
guesses.  It's a wonderful thing and rarely lasts very long.

One of the best illustrations I've seen of it was in last year's
NBA finals in the game when Jordan hit his umpteenth three-pointer
in a row and turned back up court. There's this great shot of
him catching the eye of the broadcasters and shrugging with
this grin on his face. The grin says "why do they all go in?
Don't ask me."  Unconscious.

Actually, I think it's one of the strongest.  Other than at center,
they can match up with (or cause match-up problems for) anybody.

Well, FINALLY I find out that someone else besides me has opinions
about Scott that make some sense  :-)   I agree - I think Scott
just wants to be re-signed. I DO NOT think he's the guy to assume
any kind of leadership role for the Lakers - Sedale Threatt will
do a MUCH MUCH MUCH better job of being the leader. Scott should
be treated as a colorful windowdressing - actually I'm being nice
in saying that: primadonna is much more accurate.

No offense.. But the only "legendary" thing about Jordan's work ethic I
have ever heard is his desire to skip parts of training camp.  I have never
heard anything good said (but this is not to say it is bad, just that the 
only thing I have ever heard about his work ethic has been bad..)
