   Jim's comment is a good one.  I hate to say it, but I am glad this season 
is almost over, and not only because it has been somewhat disappointing.  I 
think I have read enough about basketball to last me for six months.  I have 
read and dissected every freaking trade rumor ever conceived of by anyone.  I 
have tried to interpret the 'real meaning" behind every piece of Motormouth 
Pitino's nonstop drivel, where everything he says means either exactly what 
he says or exactly the opposite (or maybe something in between.)  I have 
watched debate over whether Cousy or Heinsohn is more perceptive.  And, 
having read all that, I watch list members attack each other over their 
opinions on all these irrelevancies.  
    I find it all entertaining at times, and boring at times, but I am 
waiting now for the days when I can watch good games on TV (playoffs, 
hopefully without Clanq) and delete all posts about draft choices for next 
year. Sorry, folks.  Tell me who the Cs draft.  I won't join in the 
speculation about who they might draft.  I'm not THAT big a fan.
     And a question, in hopes that some of you have read this far:  assuming 
a full training camp next year, would you prefer a 50 game season in 90 days? 
 Or the 82 game season in 6 months?
     Thanks for your patience.
