 No your right. It was inconsistently called. From what I understand
the Sonics and Karl realized that all those calls in the 4th were not
a ref problem. The Sonics made some very strange fouls down the stretch.
Fouling either Clyde or Terry and doing it when the clock was winding
down and Portland was going to get a very tough shot if a shot at all.
That was one problem, another was Seattle did not do their rebounding.
Probably due to the absence of McKey and the foul trouble of Kemp. Now
Kemp's being in foul trouble may have something to do with those
"strange" calls. Could have been some Homer influence in that game.
Portland played well, they got some breaks.

 You want to talk to Portland fans about lack of respect? ;-) I'm

 Thank you. I hope everyone thinks that. I'm sure they do.

How many good veterans do you know of that can be productive off of the bench.
Oh, and by the way, lots of luck to SanAntonio in the playoffs this year. Looks
like they will be matching up against the Warriors or Pheonix.

According to Marc Reider <reider@math.ucla.edu>, who credits the L.A.
Times, the next tie-breaker is record against playoff teams.  In this
category, the Lakers are in such bad shape that it hurts just to look:

Their 24-25 record in the West is made of 11-24 against the current
top eight, and 13-1 against the remaining four.

geez.. olden is not getting any minutes.  I remember at the beginning of the
year (or maybe last year) how he was saying that if he didn't get any
minutes, then "They [clippers] can trade my butt back to seattle"

so seeing as how smith and edwards are okay (and that edwards still has some
years left in him), what is the future of Olden?
anyone have any ideas?

on another note.. how come so many people on the net hate the bulls?
seriously? i mean, you can "hate" them because they are threatening to wipe
your team out of teh playoffs or soemthing, but seriously, why do some of
you guys out there hate them?  just for the sake of hating or what?  Agreed,
Jordan has an "interesting" side life.. but a lot of people make bets, play
pools, etc...  just some people use more money than others... unless I
missed something (the possiblity of this is very good) about Jordan's

another note:  just in case you guys didn't see it.. i know this doesn't

Tennis great Arthur Ashe has AIDS.  He knew about it in 1988 but wanted to

Who did you root for Tuesday when the Pistons beat the Knicks 103-94?
If Boston is lucky enough to get the #2 spot over NY then they may never
get the chance to avenge last years defeat at the hands of the Pistons.

Anyhoo, the #5 "slumping" Pistons are 45-32 on a 3-game winning streak.
Whereas the #4 "surging" Celtics are 46-31 on a 3-game winning streak.
Interestingly the #2 Knicks are 48-29 on a 3-game losing streak.

Date: 13 Apr 92 15:29:24 GMT
Organization: LLNL_LIS


	The Warriors solidified their hold on the 3rd seed in the playoffs
with a 134-125 win over Phoenix Saturday night.  Some notes --

	Phoenix led early, but the Warriors caught them half way through
the 1st quarter and never trailed again, extending the lead to as much as
21 points in the 3rd.  But the Suns rallied down the stretch and had it
down to 4 with around 2 minutes left.  KJ had the ball, brushed Hardaway
off on a Majerle screen, with Marchiulionis picking him up.  KJ drove to
the basket, but as he started up Sarunas reached in with both hands, ripped
the ball away, spun, blew downcourt, went right to the hole, was fouled
by Majerle, switched the ball to the right hand, and layed it in.  A fine
moment in watching Warriors' basketball -- the fans went wild and a potential
2 or 1 point lead was changed to a 7 point lead as Sarunas sank the free
throw.  And that was the ball game.

	Chris Mullin had 33 points, mostly at the expense of Jeff Hornacek.
Hornacek had a fine night on the offensive end, but was a little to small
to watch Mullin.  Hornacek had been listed as questionable for the game
with a sore ankle (?), but he played a lot of minutes and was very active.

	In a battle of 6th men, Majerle and Sarunas went head to head 
virtually all the time they were in the game at the same time.  Sarunas
is coming off an ankle sprain, and wasn't moving laterally well, and
so had reduced minutes, but still scored 21 points in 20+ minutes.
Majerle is a tremendous player, and always tough on the Warriors, and had
24 points in 30+ minutes.  It was very entertaining to watch these two
play each other.  Both these players go hard all the time, and they both
seemed to be enjoying the matchup.

	When Sarunas wasn't in the game, Majerle switched over to Mullin,
which is a better matchup for Phoenix.  Fitzsimmons tried Hornacek on
Sarunas a couple times, but Marchiulionis is too strong for him.  Hornacek
did take one opportunity to plant a forearm or elbow (I couldn't see) on
Sarunas's chin as he drove to the basket....

	Tom Chambers, who always kills the Warriors, played limited minutes.
He scored well (20+, I believe), but didn't seem to be moving well at
either end of the court.  There was no injury listed, so I'm not sure what
the deal was.  Phoenix fans?  At any rate, at crunch time, the Suns went
with KJ, Hornacek, Majerle, Perry, and ... Ed Nealy.

	The Warriors started Lister, Higgins, Owens, Mullin, and Hardaway.
This will be the Warriors lineup for the playoffs as well.

Come on, 39 points never be a joke. When you think about Delta Center,

This has gone far enough! If you're so f*uckin' smart, why don't you learn
how to properly quote from a posting? I'm sick of thinking I've read
a post before, only to find your $0.02 tacked onto the end.

And while you're at it, learn how to use a carriage return! What, you got a
300 column terminal down at the Mensa clubhouse?

And my IQ is also 140 (maybe a little higher *heh-heh*) but I don't need
a rating or a membership in a mutual appreciation society to back up an
argument.

PS And another thing! I'm getting sick of all this Bird crap! ;)

Especially considering how the Piston margin of victory is the jump shot, 
and Blanks and Sellers can both hit from outside.  Who knows?  Maybe even
C. Thomas could hit a couple if he had a chance.

Yes, Jordan probably would bat worse than Deion Sanders...

Through Wednesday, April 15 Deion is batting .417, with 17 hits (most in
the NL), 5 triples, and 1 home run.  He's considering giving up football.

Were you hoping Jordan would give up basketball for baseball?

New Jersey and Indiana have the same records, but New Jersey has a 2-1
head-to-head advantage over Indiana, and therefore should have the 6th
seed and play Cleveland (though they would prefer to play the Knicks,
I am sure) and Indiana, being the 7th seed should play the Atlantic
Division winner (which for the time being is the Knicks).
