Organization: R.S.M.A.S.
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 92 14:49:44 GMT

[Any additional info is always appreciated. I get my stuff from Miami
newspapers and sports-shows, so the other team often gets shorted...]

Pregame stuff: gsw Warriors game-07 at mia Heat game-06 on 17nov92, Tuesday
Tipoff: 1930 EST at Miami Arena
National TV: SportsChannel-Florida is viewable by Satellite!

Injuries: (gsw)Marciulionis - leg, (mia)Smith - knee

Brief: The Warriors come to town with three of the NBA's leading
scorers, Mullin(25.3ppg), Hardaway(22.0), and Owens(23.0).  But their
defense has been weak, and they're playing their 3rd game in 4 nights.
[Heat 5-game totals were posted after the last game.]
       "It's definately good to be back."  Heat power forward Grant Long
practiced with the team Monday after signing a $13.8mil/7-yr contract
Friday.  He wont start, but will play tonight.  "Anyone could see I was
rusty.  For me, it's all about getting my timing back."  Long weighed
235, same as he did at the end of last season.  Long's 3063min last year
were the most for a power forward.  Coach Loughery plans to try Long at
small forward.  It's not clear yet which of the current starters will
lose the most minutes to Long.  Meanwhile, Shaw participated in his 1st
practice since spraining his ankle in game 1.  Smith waited till after
the practice to take to the court for a limited 1-on-1 vs. Miner.  Smith
was placed on IR to make room for Long on the roster, and must miss at
least 5 games (which was expected anyway).  Rice had the flu, but is
expected to play tonight.  [Lots of this is from Shaun Powell in the
Miami Herald]

Fan-stuff: Every woman who stays after the game gets to shoot a free
throw; those who make it win a turkey from Publix grocers.  Free Publix
and BumbleBee refrigerator schedules. 'America' to be sung by the group
Proclamation. (You wanted all the details ;-)
