training camp under new
coach Mike Dunleavy.
“1 think h e’s cool,” Isaiah Rider
P
He s easy
to talk to. H e ’s fun. H e ’s outgo
ing. H e's not so tense, like P.J.
was. H e ’s not uptight. H e'sjust
easier to get along with and
talk to. ”
said o f the new coach.
Kenny Anderson, who was always
careful not to criticize Carlesimo, said
he expected to have a bigger say in
how the team is run under Dunleavy.
“Things 1 see out there, I’ll speak
my mind and he might listen,” Ander
son said. “P.J. was a great coach for
me, and I got along with him, but he
was more, ‘This is what w e’ve been
practicing and this is what we want to
do and this is how w e’re going to do
it.’ There w asn’t much bending with
P.J.”
Rider said Dunleavy appreciates
the opportunity to coach a young,
athletic group o f players.
“It’s like a new life for him ,” Rider
said, “and he definitely realizes he has
the talent here.”

I'he Orioles closed out the best-
of-five Division Series in fourgames,
limiting the Mariners
who set a
major-league record with 264 hom

to 11 runs. They
await the winner o f the Division Se

and Cleveland Indians.
After allowing two runs and five

Mussina (2-0) was even better, lie
gave up just two hits
a solo homer
by Edgar Martinez and a single by
Rob Ducey in the second inning
while striking out seven in seven
innings. The right-hander improved
to 10-1 all-time against the Mariners
and 3-0 against Johnson this year.
For the first time in the series, the
Orioles used the formula that earned

LEARNER GARBAGE
ermaine O ’Neal learned something
about garbage time in the NBA last
season», and even more along the high
ways o f South Carolina last summer.
Now, just a few days shy o f his 19th birth
day, he says h e ’s ready for prime time.
“I’m, like, 10 times better than I was last
year,” O ’Neal said Sunday at the Portland
Trail Blazers’ annual media day. “T hat’s how
much harder I worked this sum m er.”
Some o f that work occurred along the high
ways around O ’N eal’s hometown o f Colum
bia, S.C., where he served 100 hours o f com
munity service picking up litter.
“It was hard work at a minimum o f eight
hours a day,” he said. “It was hot out there.”
O ’Neal still thinks he d id n ’t deserve the
treatment he received in Columbia, when he
was arrested for allegedly mouthing o ff to
security guards and sh e riff s deputies while
passing out party invitation leaflets at a mall.
O ’Neal says he believes he shouldn't have
been arrested, but was ready to pay the $300
fine just to end the matter.
But when he mistakenly missed his court
date, the judge sentenced him to 100 hours’
community service, and Richland County put
him on the litter patrol. O ’Neal showed up as
required each day just before 8 a m.
“I wanted to make them think I was enjoying
it,” O ’Neal said. “T hat’s one thing I guess they
couldn’t really understand. I came to the com
munity service every day smiling, acting like I
really wanted to be there.”
He said he felt that the local authorities were
pushing him just to try to make him rebel in
order to make an example out o f him.
“I learned next time to just walk away,” he
said.
The Blazers have hired O ’N eal’s high school
coach, George Glymph, as director o f player
development.
