It is stated in the Chicago Tribune this morning, that playing in the
Olympics really have hurt the Bulls this year.  Jordan claims he has 
been very fatigued and cohesiveness of the team has been damaged. 
Pippen agreed, also claiming his tendinitis is from over use.  They both
said it was a great experience to meet and play with the Dream Team,
but if they had a choice again, no matter how much pressure, they 
wouldn't have gone.  In the long run, it will hurt the team, they 
claimed.

Just a little FYI, for Bulls fans, so be patient, they will hit the 
"zone" eventually!!!

Just saw the fight between Plastic man(Bill Lambier) and Alonzo Mourning.
Too bad it got broken up before any punches could be thown.I don't know 
who I hate more, Plasticman or Mourning breath but i'd pay big money to
see them fight,screw the basketball.If I had to bet on the fight i'd pick
Alonzo,if I had to bet on who is the bigger jerk I think Alonzo would just
edge the Plasticman out.

Well, that looks like about 13-14 shots per game.  Most teams would improve
by having someone take ~13 shots a game and actually make half of them...

In the local press 12/20/92 I came across this AP article regarding
NBA salaries. 

FYI:     

Top 10 NBA players for 1992.

Ranking		Player			$(millions)

1.  		David Robinson 		5.72
2.		Michael Jordan		4.0
3.		John Williams		3.785
4.		Valde Divac		3.633
5.		Robert Parish		3.512
6.		Dominique Wilkins	3.5
7.		Kevin McHale		3.5
8.		Scottie Pippen		3.425
9.		Reggie Lewis		3.32
10.		Patrick Ewing		3.3

1992 NBA payrolls.

1.		Boston			24.998
2.		Cleveland		19.675
3.		LA Lakers		18.851
4.		Chicago			18.535
5.		San Antonio		18.223

25.		Denver			13.776
26.		Minnesota		13.731
27. 		Dallas			11.459


Considering the Sal Cap is 14 mill per franchise, I find it very interesting.

The article also mentioned that Barkley is 2.4 mill, Malone is 2.85 mill,
Drexle is 1.37 mill, and Laettner is 2.1 mill.

I saw him courtside once and I thought...there's no way that guy is even 5'7''.
He looked like he's more like 5'5'' if even that.  Heights in the NBA are
pretty weird...if you get players to stand beside each other, I'm sure you'd
get a good idea of where they stand.  It seems like most players up their
height an inch or two.  It probably sounds better to be 6'0'' or 7'0''
rather than 6'11'' (unless you're Bill Walton).

Ie. Jordan is probably a true 6'6'', but Olajuwon does seem short compared
to other 7 footers and Magic Johnson never looked like he was really quite
6'9''.  One line that just popped into my mind is how Jalen Rose started
talking trash to Byron Houston in last year's NCAA tournament.  Houston
was listed at 6'7'', but nearer to 6'4'' and Rose was screaming at him
about how he thought he was big, but now that they were on court that he
was a little wimp.

Subject: Sarunas Marciulionis update
Keywords: Marciulionis, Warriors
Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 93 01:06:18 GMT

Sarunas Marciulionis returned to action Dec. 23rd against the Mavs.
Coming into the game in the 2nd quarter with a standing ovation at the 
Oakland Coliseum, he immediately energized the Warriors and scored 9 points in 
an 11 minute stint.

He was not much of a factor in subsequent games against Dallas and San Antonio,
but had a big game against Houston, scoring 11 of his 20 points in a 4th 
quarter in which the Warriors dominated the Rockets.

While his return is welcome, it is quite obvious that he is far from
100%.  He lacks the explosive move to the basket that he possessed 
before he dislocated his ankle.  Hopefully, with time he will get
stronger and return to his former level, although that's far from
guaranteed.  In the meantime, he has relying
on his jump shot more, which isn't bad, considering Mullin is the
only better outside shooter on the club.

After each game, he has naturally complained of soreness in his leg, and
has needed much therapeutic treatment.  Probably the biggest question is
did he come back too soon?  Is this situation analagous to that of
Clyde Drexler who has been a shadow of himself all season, and who has
just gone on the disabled list?

     No question that Hornacek's a better guard than Payton.  However,
check out Payton's stats this year:  his has improved vastly.  This is
reflected both in his stats and in his play on the court -- he will now
shoot outside shots without hesitation, and with accuracy (shooting
something like 54% for the season, and this includes a lot of 20-footers,
not just cripple layins).
     Anyway, the "Payton s*cks" image was true for the
past two years.  It's not true anymore.  (And, as I've mentioned before,
the "Ferry s*cks" and "Mason br*cks" images are also obsolete; these
3 players have improved tremendously.  That doesn't mean they're ready
for the all-star game, it just means they're no longer at the Greg Kite/
Jack Haley level of play.)

2)  Owens for rights to Jimmy Jackson

Well, I stated they were my favorite in the beginning and they are looking to

This is a team that looked awesome, and is just now adding Kevin Johnson
back into the folds (AllStar level Point Guard, former main man), and
Richard Dumas, who scored 27 tonight, and looks very, very good.  This team
went from being extremely talented and tough, to that and deep as well.
Barkley, Johnson, Majerle, Ainge, Chambers, Dumas, Ceballos, etc...

Go ahead, give 'em the ring and make things easy on the rest of the league.
The Suns are going to roll this year.  

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

It should be obvious, the Suns just have the talent this year...

KJ's been having injury problems for the past couple of years, but the 
biggest plus Barkley has brought to the team (besides his obvious skills)
is the pressure he's taken off KJ and Chambers. Ceballos is also having 
a good season thus far. I really wasn't sure how much Phoenix could

	Hello fellow netters. Did any of you see the Jazz/Magic game last night.It was a good ballgame. Jazz looked like they had control of the game in the second half, but Orlando staged a very good comebak. Surprisingly, it was led by
the rookiie, Latterial Green, and not Skiles. Of course the Shaq had the leadingrole in the comeback. He had 7 dunks, most of which were uncontested by Utah.
I think they knew how strong he was, and did not want to injure themselves trying to block his dunks. He also had some key blocks against the mailman and Mike
Brown. There were not many second chance opportunities; the Shaq grabbed about
20 rebs.
	Overall, I was impressed with the Shaq's play. However, in the first 
half, the Jazz defended him very well. they had eaton, malone, brown, and 
krystowiak on him, all big boys, and they held Shaq in check. I guess he
felt he could do better in the second half, and went out there and played 
awfully hard in the second half. It worked.
	What about the Jazz ? They beat teams they should beat ( Minnesota,
Denver, etc...), but are losing to playoff bound teams. I am beginning to

think that they are not what they are cracked up to be. Really disappointing
is David Benoit. He seems to be in a real bad funk right now. He is not going
agressive to the basket like last year, and this seems to be his strength.
Oh well, just some thoughts........

Making his team better?  That's a term that everyone seems to like to use
for no apparent reason.  Russell made his team better?  What, you mean by
putting his 6'10'' body out there, rebounding the crap out of the ball,
playing great defense and slamming in 17 ppg?  I suppose that works.  His
team won or lost the championship depending on Russell?  Well, take any
championship team, remove their most valuable player and do you think they'll
still have a championship?

I say Wilt was better at making his teams better.  Without him, they probably
would have been in last place, while Russell's teams wouldn't have died.
It's not like those Boston teams killed Wilt's teams either, there were a lot
of 7th games, including the one where Don Nelson's prayer was answered.
Boston is setting up for the last shot when some Laker player gets his hand
on the ball and knocks it away trying to force a turnover.  It gets slapped
out (usually a very favorable thing), but falls right into Nelson's hands,
and he grabs it and nearly throws it up.  It takes one huge bounce on the
rim before dropping in.

Huh.  Now that I think about it, I don't know if that particular 7th game
play was against a team that Wilt was on (ie. was he there yet)?  Oh well...

You forgot to mention Nate McMillan :-) Nate's 6'5". He shares the point with
Payton, and actually has more assists than Payton; 29 total vs. the Blazers
and Clippers on the two most recent games: Sure is nice to have this guy back
and healthy, not many players in the league that can perform like Nate.
