	About the NBA mvp awards - anyone 

	- when they come out
	- who does the voting
	- who is likely to get it

I suppose the answer to the last question is either Larry Bird or
Bernard King. I hope Bird gets it. He scored nearly as many points,
as King did, and had more rebounds and assists. But I *think* King
will get it. Poor Bird will probably be second <again> . .

	Damn Nets. Nuke my poor Sixers and then get beaten by, of
all people, Milwaukee, who will be thrashed by Boston. Since I
have so boldly predicted that, I suppose Murph's law takes effect.

	Ah well, wait til' next year! Philly has 3 first round picks.
We'll probably get Perkins or Barkley. Not as good as Olajuwan or
Jordan, perhaps, but good. Houston doesn't deserve Olajuwan since
they have Sampson. Interesting to see O. play forward with S., 
though . . In any case, Houston gets Olajuwan *or* Jordan. If
they finish last next year, someone should trash the team.

	Well I shot my mouth off in this one. I was merely irate
that Houston finished last instead of San Diego, which meant 
the Sixers don't get a chance at the first pick. So ihuxr!ewf
set me right on the matter and I have revised my (drastic) views
about teams who do very poorly despite having good players. 
I don't know if I really meant it when I said "trash the team" 
- just being a slightly over-zealous Philly-<fan>atic. 

	I stand reproved . .
