The Masters is coming up this weekend from what has to lie one of the

Don't look now but the Blazers have quietly developed into one of the liesl
teams in the NBA The rash of injuries has left them with a very deep team,
in which 9 10 players see action Surprise surprise, but old Mr Kamsay
seems to know his stuff after all It really would lie to the Blazers adv antage
to finish sixth in the Mestem Conference though rather than fifth If they
finish fifth they hav e to play Dallas in the first round The Mavericks al way x
give the Blazers trouble If they win that series they d then have to face the
lak ers in the second round If they finish sixth however, they'd play the
slumping Houston Buckets in the first round and would probably play
Denver in the conference semifinals if they win' Granted the Nuggets are
no bargain but better them than the laikers
The big day for the NBA is May 12 the Patrick Fwmg Derby It will

they win. it will ho the Laker*in Bound 2 The Blazers finished the season on
Sunday by tiesting Denver loend up the campaign with a record of 42 4o The

probably draw a tougher slot in the playoffs Had they lost to lienver.
however, they would have met the Nuggets in the second round assuming
they had tieaten Houston They won the "confidence builder against
Denver, and in the process almost guaranteed that they won't meet them
any more Believe me. if Portland beats LA in the playoffs, that would lie
more than enough of a confidence builder
The Masters golf tournament was everything it's supposed to I k -, and

strong back nine on Sunday There were 25 players who could have sneaked
in and won the crown w ith a strong show mg on the last day " I f . however is
a big word at Augusta National That golf course really is the challenging
