INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Philadelphia 76ers return to their
familiar role as underdogs tonight in the fourth game of the NBA
championship series against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series Tuesday
night, using a blitzkrieg attack for an easy 129-108 victory. The
best-of-seven series returns to Philadelphia for Game 5 Sunday
with a sixth game on the Lakers’ home court Tuesday, if necessary.
The Lakers, based on their performance Tuesday night, have
everything going their way.
But the 76ers don’t seem to mind it.
“We’re optimistic,” Philadelphia Coach Billy Cunningham said
Wednesday before he put his team through a light workout.
“We’ve been in this situation many times before in the playoffs.
We’ve been beaten badly and came back. This is nothing new for

He said the 76ers won’t make many physical changes but he
expects a different performance from his players.
“I think both teams will make adjustments as the series goes on,”
he said, “but I don’t expect any major changes. It’s too late for that.
“Tuesday night they were a step quicker than us in all aspects of
the game. But Sunday (in a 110-94 Philadelphia win) they were a
step slower than us. We’ve got to regain that level we were on
Sunday.”
Philadelphia’s Darryl Dawkins said the 76ers know what they
have to do and would rather play the next game than talk about it.
“I’m not one to make excuses,” the 6-foot-11,250-pound center
said.

At one time, the Milwaukee
Brewers’ clubhouse was the gar
den spot of the world. You never
saw so much harmony.
Then a terrible thing hap
pened.
George Bamberger, the man
who was born to manage the
Brewers and one the entire city
of Milwaukee fell in love with,
left to go and manage some team
called the New York Mets.
That was the end of all the
harmony.
But this should not be taken
as any indictment of Bob “Buck”
Rodgers, who was fired as mana
ger of the Brewers Wednesday
and replaced by Harvey Kuenn,
one of the team’s coaches,
Rodgers is a good manager.
Good enough to have led the
Brewers to the American
League Eastern Dvision title last
year for the First time in their
history. But he still wasn’t Bam
berger, or “Bambi,” as every
body in Milwaukee called him.

Harry Dalton, the Brewers’
executive vice president and
general manager, had a master
plan. Bamberger was part of it.
Dalton felt that Rodgers, who
had been under fire at one point
last year, deserved another
chance this year after having
won the division title. Rodgers
hadn’t done badly at all by the
Brewers, taking over as acting
manager twice in 1980, the first
time when Bamberger had to
undergo heart surgery that
spring and once again after
Bambi announced his retire
ment on Sept. 9.
Bamberger subsequently was
given a “lifetime job” with the
Brewers as a scout and consul
tant with them, and part of Dal
ton’s plan called for him to come
back and manage the club again
this year in case Rodgers ran
into any problems.
There was only one hitch.
Bamberger went with the Mets
last October and that knocked
him out of the box with the
Brewers.

So Dalton tapped Kuenn, one
of the best line-drive hitters
around during his 15 years in
the majors. Kuenn has been with
the Brewers 11 years, barely
even taking time out from his
coaching duties after his right
leg was amputated below the
knee two years ago because of
blood clot complications.
“The most important thing I
have to try to do is get the har
mony back,” Kuenn told me
when I spoke with him Wednes
