From the Dallas Morning News.

3/27 Denver has sold out 9 of their last 10 games and are
averaging 16,276 fans.  At nearly 1,600 more than last season,
the Nuggets have the largest increase over last year's attendance
among teams that did not move into a new arena.

3/27 Sean Elliott (Det) on coach Don Chaney who just turned 48:
"I don't know how old he is, but after what we've put him through
this season, he's lucky he doesn't look 70."

3/27 Glen Rice (Mia) on playing in Denver: "It feels like you've
got someone sitting on your chest.  I can't breathe.  I can't
stand it when you get into a run-and-gun game there.  You go up
and down the court twice and say, 'Whoa, slow down.'"

3/27 Coach Larry Brown (Ind) after a 93-61 loss to Cleveland:
"At least we held them under 100."

3/27 Horace Grant (Chi) on Madonna's comments that she wants to
own a NBA team: "I know one thing.  Wives and girlfriends would
be saying, 'No way are you going to that team.'"

4/1 Houston coach Rudy Tomjanovich is [legitimately] upset about
the recent incidents that have occurred with some of his players
(see Fines, part III; Hakeem Olajuwon was also serving a
suspension during that game for bumping an official).  He has
made it clear that any future incidents would result in a fine
from the club in addition to any action taken by the league.
Tomjanovich: "I don't remember any coach having a policy about
this, but I've got to do something.  If a tech is called and one
of your teammates is restraining you and you still get ejected,
there will still be penalties."  "I never thought I would have to
do something like this.  We've worked hard to make this a
respectable basketball team.  I don't want something like that to
ever happen again, and if it does, it will cost them money and
playing time, because I'm not going to have it anymore."

4/1 Chicago coach Phil Jackson when asked if B.J. Armstrong had a
beef with how he is used: "B.J. does not eat beef.  B.J. is a
vegetarian, so I don't think he has any beef at all."

4/1 Philadelphia coach Fred Carter, whose team has lost 23 of its
last 24: "I wouldn't know how to feel if we won.  I'd probably
say, is it over?  Check the scorebook.  I'd probably just stare
at the scoreboard and feel the euphoria."
