Actually, there isn't much of a story behind them.  I was a big
basketball fan in high school - I went to about 40 games at
Reunion Arena in '88.  Then I went to college in Massachusetts
and saw less than 15 games live over 4 years and didn't watch
too many on TV.  I also didn't have cable the first 8 months
out of college (penny pinching, then laid off).  When I got my
next job, I splurged and got cable in March and started to
get submerged into the games again (it's amazing the difference
TNT can make).  I had missed being really involved in following
the NBA over the past 4 1/2 years and getting back into it
made it even more clear how much I had missed it.  Being a
compassionate type of person, I figured that there were a lot
of people out there still in the predicament of loving the game
but not having the time or access to follow it and I thought
I could do something to help.  Thus, I started the tabs.  The
response was so possitive that I did them again this year.

I'm glad that you are enjoying.  It is the knowledge that people
really do enjoy them and appreciate them that make doing the
tabs worthwhile.

[BTW, the naming of the reports has a double meaning.  Even though
I now go by Patricia, I grew up as Tricia and have always loved
the acronym of Tricia Ann Bender - tab.]
