Not Knicks/Lakers!

Anything but an all "hated" finals.  Come on, Pacers.  Give me someone
to cheer for. 

 Well, it looks like several tiers of rooks have formed:  Tier
One--Mihm, Martin, Fizer, Swift.  One of these may slip to #5, but not
below as it now seems.  Tier Two:  Pryzbilly, Miller, Dermarr Johnson,
Courtney Alexander, Darius Miles.  That's nine.  I tend to think
Alexander could slide and one of the HS boys, probably Johnson (OK, so
he's a freshman; don't be so picky).  Then, Tsakidilus, Mo Peterson,
Etan Thomas, OO, etc.  I think that, as always, someone from that
better 8 or 9 will slip to us and we'll be happy.

On the swap of Fortson for R. Paterson:  it's fine if we are adding
another rebounder.  Don't make us depend on Battie.  

On the addition of a back-up point:  please get one!!  I still think
Ed Cota could run a team well as a back-up #1.  I would really go for
Charlie Ward, however.

On the unilateral reduction of nuclear missiles:  well, I do have a
well-informed opinion, but who cares.  

On to the draft!  Gene
