Philadelphia has lost Maurice Cheeks for a while, and Boston's Kevin McHale is out. Does anyone know the extent of eithers' injuries, and when they'll be back ? I know McHale's absence must be hurting Boston - they got really creamed recently (110-85 or so) by some lesser team (Atlanta? NJ?). Philly seems to be getting along without Cheeks, judging from the Detroit game, but I hope he gets back soon .... they need his defense and in any case he really revs the team up. I haven't heard much about McHale and nothing about Cheeks in the news and papers. Well, the Sampson-Olajuwan alliance seems to be working great in Houston, although unfortunately Johnny Lucas left due to drug problems. Both are averaging 19+ points and a combined 18 or 19 rebounds, and both have had some really big games. I wish there was more NBA on the channels I receive, I'd sure like to see those two some more. Speaking of big games, how about B. King's 60 point performance in the Knicks' loss .. perhaps someone should clone Bernard and have a two-man team. I see I've rambled .. it's late. If anyone can send me any info about the abovementioned injuries, I'll be grateful. Thanks, Andrew Royappa {ihnp4,decvax,allagra,ucbvax,pur-ee}!purdue!avr
