Is there some problem with the ftp site holding the archives of this
mailing list? 
I've gotten a "file not found" message returned each time for several
months now -- for files which are clearly listed in the index. 


Quiz results:

>>> Quiz: what team recorded the highest FT% in NBA history over a single
>>> season (and what year?).

A lot of good entries, and a few intriguing guesses, but no one won the
1986 Toyota Camry this time around. 

Answer: the 1989-90 Celtics, .832 free throw shooting 

(source: 1995 Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball ed. by Zander Hollander)

One hallmark of all the 1980's Celtics teams was their great free throw
shooting. Even the bench was good. At one point Joe Kleine was the leading
FT shooting in the NBA!

OK, here's an easier one. From the Chris Ford era, which Celtic lead the
league for a few months as the FG% leader in the NBA (didn't take the
title, but for a while was the leader halfway through the season).
