Yes, Sacramento finally beat the lakers IN the forum.
and they are now 2-0 (Sacramento)

don't remember the finals score, but it was soething like 112 - 102 or
something

LAKERS:
PEELER was impressive..he is strong and drives good.  his outside shot didn't
seem to fall. he did get to the foul line an awful lot, but was horrendous
(4-8?)

COOPER (duane):  was really good too.. he drives a lot and seems to be more 
confident with his outside shot. he seems to play exactly like peeler.same
style and everything.

VLADE: signs of aggressve play in spurts.

AC: fantastic and intense as always

BYRON SCOTT:  well, i didn't see him take too many outside shots.. he was 
ACTUALLY TAKING IT TO THE HOLE!!  so that's alwyas good to see, excpet 
everytime I looked up to see him take it to the hole ( iwas studying for a
mitdterm at the same time), he flubbed the lay-up.  he missed like 4 at least.

PFUND:  looks like he was left a nice dippidy doo supply c/o Riles.


SACRAMENTO:
SPUD: he sprainedhis left wrist, otherwise pretty good
WALT WILLIAMS: thinks he can be a point guard, but he looks slow... he has
	good shooting range (2-2 from 3 pt land if I remember)
	..ok on ballhandling
LIONEL: can drive good but needs more consistency..not very good defensivly
	(i don't remember who he was checking.. i think for awhile it was
	Perkins)

RICHMOND: guy should be an all-star
TISDALE: this guy is fantastic  as well.. good inside and also midrange jumper
CONLON: guy is a great back-up center.. not as much butterfingers as last year
	with the sonics.. he is a great passer
LES: shot some threes and great point guard play


most memorable things said by the commentators:

"and that is our RANDY FARM FOUL OF THE GAME:
 i believe it was Randy Woods (?) fouling
				Sedale Threat on the drive

..the post-game intervie with richmond
"well, 2 down, 80 to go."  :)

yay.

This may have been true last year, but NY NEVER had a bonafide option to go to,
besides Patrick.  Starks and X helped out last year, but they were streaky - 
especially in the clutch.  The addition of Blackman, Smith, Campbell and Davis 
(he'll earn everyone's respect soon enough) gives NY (atleast) 3 options on 
the floor at any given time.  They still will go the Patrick, but he'll 
have help when the defense collapses, or he'll get an easy one-on-one if they 
don't.  Either way, I like the Knicks chances.

I'm an eastcoast lakers fan trying to find a way to get daily lakers boxscores. Whenever they play on the westcoast there's only about a 50-50 chance that the story will make it into the next day's paper. clari.sports.basketball doesn't seem to have consistent policy about posting boxscores. Anywhere else i should look?

Well for one thing, which of these doctors are the experts we should believe?
Here is a hint, they do not even agree with each other. Magic says his doctor
advised him to retire initially due to the stress on his immune system, AIDS
experts said there was no evidence that was true and they actually wanted
to use Magic as a test case, because all their evidence says exercise is good
for HIV+ people. I keep reading quotes from one doctor on the Bush council
on AIDS about fear and paranoia in the NBA community, this same doctor came
out a few months back and said there are no confirmed cases of HIV transmission
through heterosexual contact, and that any person who claims to have gotten
HIV that way(remember this includes Magic Johnson) is lying and is either
bisexual or an IV drug user. This same doctor said in todays paper there
are no cases of HIV transmission during a sports event, even though the
British Journal of Medicine recently wrote about 2 cases, the soccer
players I have posted in the past(which emphatically has been confirmed
by teh CDC and the World Health Organization, but not the Presidents
COuncil on AIDS) and a case involving 2 boxers(which has not been confirmed
by the CDC or WHO as of yet). This doctor said in todays paper that the 
"good thing" about AIDS is we know how you can get it, sexual intercourse
(which includes heterosexual intercourse which he insists has not happened),
IV injection(either blood or drugs) or during "the birthing process" period.

This ignores the fact that there have been accidental infections of health
care workers not involving any of his 3 situations, and people getting it
from corneal transplants, and from breast feeding. This expert insists these
people are all lying(which again means he insists Magic is lying) and
he is on the Council on AIDS.

You would also have to know exactly how many players in the game have HIV
or AIDS, plus you would need to know the required amount of blood for
infection to take place which the aformentioned expert today said "there
is a minimum amount necessary, we just do not know what that amount is",
so you cannot calculate the probability with the information currently
available.

About Miner not playing in game 1 against Orlando, part of the reason might
have been that Kevin Edwards was having a great game at Miner's position,
and there was really no overwhelming reason to put Miner in.  I don't think
Miner's lack of playing time in game 1 (or 2) is indicative of anything other
than the fact that there are lots of guards....

Seikaly had 16 points to Shaq's 12, but certainly fewer rebounds (and fewer
turnovers and fewer fouls).  However, as a team, Miami out-rebounded Orlando.

The network TV coverage after the game talked only of Shaq, and hardly
mentioned Miami, but I thought Shaq's only significant contributions were
to draw the defenders and get rebounds -- while that's great, it didn't
leave me with the impression that he dominated the game, which is the
impression you would have gotten from the TV.  Anderson and, to a lesser
extent Dennis Scott, seemed to me to be the primary contributers for Orlando.
This suggests that Seikaly, Salley, and friends did a fine job on O'Neal
(especially since Shaq had such good numbers the following night) but perhaps
at the expense of covering the other Magic players....

This was a game that Miami should have won -- they did better in every
facet of the game until towards the end of the 3rd quarter, when they
self-destructed (to Orlando's surprise and delight).  Oddly enough, the
reverse happened the following game when Miami pulled out a win against
New Jersey that they didn't deserve.

In summary: Shaq definitely contributed but was not the dominant player,
and in fact it was Miami's game throughout to win or lose.

(The TV kept showing Shaq's two show-time dunks as if he did that all night,
when in fact he did it twice.  But they were fun to watch....)

	Hmm... I'm wondering if the Hawks knew something about Hinson
	that the Nets didn't.  After all, it makes no sense to trade for
	an injured player and then have to pay his salary if he can't play.
	Either Hinson is about to retire, or he's got a comeback in store.

The Golden State Warriors are the best fastest team in the league without a 
Big man in the center. The warriors will make a trade for Hakeem this season
and win the west then when the whole thing in the championships. and yes
they will beat the bulls does any one have any comments?

Could anyone out there tell me when and if the Knicks play the
Utah Jazz this season at Madison Square Garden?  Your help is
greatly appreciated.  Email is best.  Thanks.
