  It looks to me as if the Lakers are playing lethargic basketball, showing
  little emotions whether win or lose.  Look at the lackluster performance
  in New Jersey in which they were outrebounded by over 20.  I am especially
  disappointed in the veterans who seem lackadaisical and not providing
  the leadership needed.

  I felt during the season that the team would begin to play better as a
  team but what can one do when no one is consistent, but this team is
  proving to be a sorry disappointment for Laker fans.  Hell, we might
  not even make the playoffs this year, if we keep the current unit.
  Attendance is miserable at the forum where people want to see winners,
  not a mediocre team.

  Vlade is not helping the team and Byron is just a load on the team,
  Useless.  Campbell is hopeless while Worthy is on and off.  We lack
  a true point guard as evidenced in fast breaks where Threat will 
  usually pull up for the jumper or pull it out, instead of attacking to 
  the basket.  

  Why isn't Peeler getting more playing time.  He's a hundred times better 
  than Scott, yet AP is only getting 10 - 15 minutes a night.

  My advice to Jerry West:

       -Everyone on the team should be on the trading block, except for
	   Peeler
       -I think this team must be torn apart because the present situation
	 is entirely pitiful.

Does Larry have an Internet account? 8*)

Maybe that's why he's not in this discussion?

Or it could just be that with all of the talented and deserving players,
he was overlooked. Especially easy to do I might add!

Portland's Rod Strickland on Denver's Scott Hastings following a
game between the two clubs 10 days ago: "He throws his elbows and
hits you when he doesn't have to.  He does it every time, all the
time.  If that's all he can do, they should sit him down and find
someone who can play, or cut him."

Hastings, in reply: "They pay a loser $2million, and he's supposed
to be a winner.  I guess that doesn't necessarily hold true with
Strickland, huh?  ...  If I made $2million like Rod Strickland, I
probably would have been the player that Rod is -- short and dopey."

????  Chuck Person is a decent forward, but I wouldn't call him a "quality"
one.  He is not much of an all-around player, primarily a scorer, and a 
streaky  one at best.  He is only shooting about 43%, which is hideous for
his position.  He also almost NEVER goes to the line (something like 2 times
per game in almost 40 minutes).

"Their prospect cannot play." ???  Hmm... 
18ppg, 8.2 rpg and 2.3 apg in only 33 minutes/game, in his first year...

Hmm... not all that bad.   Laettner reminds me a lot of a young Tom Chambers
and is more of a PF than a Center.  He has actually surprised a lot of people
with his play in the paint.  As for shot blocking ability, well, he is not
a big shot blocker, but in comparision to some other PF in the league, he
doesn't do all that bad...
More blocked shots than Wilkins, any Piston, Brad Daugherty, all of Dallas,
Anthony Mason, Buck Williams, Kevin Duckworth, Larry Johnson, Rik Smits,
all the Bucks, Karl Malone, etc...   So, though he isn't a big time shot 
blocker, he doesn't do all that bad at it.  

And, as for the rookies go, he is one of the top performers so far this season
in a crop that was one of the best ever.   Easily one of the top 5...

Again, I see Laettner turning out a lot like a Tom Chambers...  He will make
a few AllStar teams, have a few great seasons, but overall be a very solid
player in the league...

Music to my ears...

There are two things I wanted to point out about this game.  The first
is the low rebounding totals (34-33 for a slight GS edge).  The Warriors
owned the Blazers in the first half off the boards.  The turn around was
quite dramatic in the second half as Portland extended on defense and was
still able to converge on the hoop to pick up defensive rebounds much
more effectively in the second half.

The second is a stat I have been paying close attention to this season.
I think it is a big reason the Blazers are so strong this year:

That's exactly 1 PPM for Cliff Robinson.  I think you will find that Cliff
has led the Blazers in PPM (and probably Rebounds-per-minute as well) for
most of the season.  In fact, I'd hazzard to guess he may be leading the
entire NBA (for those playing significant minutes).  I don't know how much
longer Jerome Kersey can hold on to his starting position.  This is also in
stark contrast to early last year when Cliff probably led the team only in
Fouls/disqualifications per game.

I like players like this.  My hope as a Warriors fan was that Tyrone would
develope into this type of player - along the lines of Dominique, Shawn Kemp,
Scotty Pippen - and now Cliff Robinson.  We've seen hints of this style of
play from others like Eldon(sp?) Campbell for the Lakers as well.  All-in-all,
I think this style of play makes the game far more interesting to watch than
the more classic small fwd/big fwd models of years gone by.

     Well I've got my hands full with the Manning vs Laettner debate
so I'm not going to jump in on Chambers vs Laettner.  One thing that
I would add is that a good way of characterizing Chambers' outside
shooting is that his outside shooting was outstanding for a 6'10"
player, or for a power forward (although, as everyone agrees, it's
not clear that we really want to call him a PF).
     But compared to a shooting guard, or even a small forward,
his outside shot wasn't all that great.  Chambers missed a lot of
shots.
     So the question of "good" or "lousy" outside shooting depends
on who you're comparing him to.  For the Sonics, Chambers was a pretty
good outside shooter (not nearly as good as Dale Ellis of course);
the Sonics depended on Chambers' offense a lot.  But that in fact was
the Sonics' problem:  a team that has to rely on Chambers' okay but
not great outside shooting is a team that's not going to go far in
the playoffs (admittedly the Sonics actually did make it to the
Western Conference finals one year, but more due to Ellis' shot than
Chambers').
     For that matter (and here is my obligatory annual Tom Chambers
quote), a team that relies on Tom Chambers to be one of its top
2 forwards has no chance of making the NBA finals.  Seattle tried
it, Phoenix tried it, no go.  But put in Charles Barkley and Richard
Dumas, and let Chambers be the 3d forward (or backup center, or
whatever position you want to call him) and of course put KJ &
Majerle in the backcourt, and you've got a potential NBA champ.

Yes the Pistons do miss shots.  I believe last night they were over 50%
in shooting.  It is their free-throw shooting that really sucks.
Only two Dumars and Laimbeer can shoot a free throw on that team.

   The Suns had so many wide open jump shots I couldn't

Two words: Orlando Woolridge.
This guy cannot play defense.

Isiah did a good job with KJ, and Laimbeer an excellent job with Barkely.
It was those million or so three pointers and the fact that Detroit couldnt
make a free throw.

You can't figure these pistons out.  They lose to the worst team and almost
beat the best team.  Kind of makes you think what they could do if they 
were healthy.

Pheonix is a great team.  Thunder Dan, KJ, Barkely, Ainge.  They could really
go far... dare I say all the way.

Pooh is a much better point guard than Williams.  If I remember right, he
is 11th in the NBA is assists and I believe he is averaging double figures in
scoring.  He has a jump shot, too.  Defensively, he doesn't go diving after 
passes, creating 5 on 4 situations every time down court, like Williams did.
In clutch situations, the Pacers could usually count on Williams taking a
bad shot or turning the ball over.

The only reason the trade hasn't worked as successfully as planned is because
George McCloud did a horrible job filling in at Person's small forward 
position.

In Mitchell's defense, he hasn't totally sucked.  The Pacers knew he wasn't a
shooter when they got him, but in clutch situations he has proven he can play
defense (ex: Pacers at Portland).  When he has gotten playing time, he has done
okay.

Basically, the Pacers need to trade Smits for another forward who can shoot
the long range jumper.  This would free up Reggie, give Pooh another man to
pass to, get Kenny Williams the PT he deserves, insure Davis of consistent PT,
and allow Bo Hill to let them run again.

How about Sedale Threatt?  Somehow I don't think he stuffed Sir
Charles three times in one game.  Did Cliff Robinson (the elder) play
with the Sixers?
