LOTTERY

[Dorine Pratt <norine@sover.net>]

Hi.  I'm just as disappointed as you are, but I don't think you can
blame ML for this one, and I, for one, am happy the lottery isn't fixed
in anyone's favor.  I do think they could go back to the old way, where
you drafted according to how you finished.  The lottery leaves a great
deal to be desired and I think we should write the NBA and tell them so.

The rep for San Antonio said, in answer to the question "who will you
pick" that they'd, of course had to look at Duncan.  You can bet the
farm that Pitino will be trying something.  Also, Bob Ryan said in an
article in the Globe that Baros must be salivating with Pitino as coach,
because he fits right in with that system.  Also, Dee Brown now wants to
stay with the Celts, and with a realy good coach, he just might blossom
into what he should have been in the first place.  I don't think it's
all doom and gloom.  They can still get some good players.
