NBA’s cream should rise to the top in ’85 playoffs The pairings and selections for the best-of-5 first round of the Na tional Basketball Association play- offs starting this week (seedings in parentheses): EASTERN CONFERENCE Cleveland (8) vs. Boston (1) — The Cavaliers were one of the sur prises of the regular season, fin ishing 34-27 after a 2-19 start. Right now, Cleveland might lie better than a half-dozen other playoff teams, but the penalty for its horrendous start is having to meet the Celtics in the first round. The Celtics are play off tested, and rtiore important, t hey have Larry Bird. Boston beat the Cavaliers all six times they met this season, and when the best-of-5 series is over, is should be 8-0. Milwaukee (2) vs. Chicago (7) — Led by all-stars Terry Cummings and Sidney Moncrief and “point for ward” Paul Pressey, the Bucks posted the third-best record in the NBA, behind only Boston and the Lakers. The Bulls have some tal ented players, but they have to hope the Bucks will be looking at the tough road ahead. If the Bucks beat Chicago, they probably lace series with Philadelphia, Boston and the Lakers en route a possible NBA title. Don’t count on that happening. Bucks in four games. Philadelphia (3) vs. Washington (6) — T he 76ers have been troubled by injuries to Moses Malone, An drew Toney and (demon Johnson, but all three are expected back for the first game with Washington. The Bullets, however, went from a good team to a so-so one in the second half after losing rugged Jeff Ruland. Philadelphia in four. Detroit (4) vs. New Jersey (5) — A tough series to call. The Nets have beaten the Pistons in five of their six meetings, but Otis Birdsong, who combines with Micheal Ray Richard son to form New Jersey’s outstand ing backcourt duo, is injured, and center Darryl Dawkins has been at his foul-prone worst in recent weeks. Detroit was the consensus preseason pick to win the Central Division, but finished 13 games behind Milwau kee. But although they were some what of a disappointment in the reg ular season, the Pistons should have enough to beat New Jersey in five games. WESTERN CONFERENCE Los Angefes Lakers (1) vs. Phoe nix (8) — Probably the biggest mis match in the first round. T he Lakers have the best record in the NBA in the second half, and their running game has been humming on all cyl inders. The injury-depleted Suns, meanwhile, had to hang on to the fi nal playoff spot in the last week of the season while losing 12 of 15 games between March 13 and April 9. Phoenix would have trouble beat ing I .os Angeles at full strength,l»f:- with Walter Davis, l^trry Nam James Edwards and Maurice Lua either sidelined or hobbled, it wilt an upset if the Lakers don’t sweep.

Trai Blazers in four. No ballclubs in the Majors will go 162-0 Associated Press The New York Mets, Seattle Mari ners and Detroit Tigers are conced ing nothing to the law of averages. Each team made it through the first week of the baseball season unscathed, and some of the players are harboring unrealistic intentions of staying that way. “It’s not the easiest task in the world to keep up this pace,” says Mets catcher Gary Carter, who had three game-winning homers as New York got off to a 5-0 start. “But right now we feel like we can just keep right on winning.” The Mets’ start was the best in club history, as was the 6-0 start of the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers were off to a 5-0 start, but that paled in comparison to their major-league record getaway of 35-5 in 1984. “The key is we have to keep on be lieving in ourselves,” says Mariners outfielder Phil Bradley, who had a grand slam homer among his 10 hits in the first week of the season. “All of the breaks have been going our way. The Detroit Tigers did the same thing last year, and I don’t think that the breaks ever caught up with them.” Obviously, no team will wind up the season 162-0, but neither will any team go 0-162. And that should be some consolation to the Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians, both of whom started 0-5. Braves' Murphy needs own baseball league Associated Press ATLANTA — Dale Murphy is wreaking havoc on National League pitchers these days, and the suggestion has been tossed out by the enemy that the Atlanta Braves’ two-time Most Valuable Player belongs in an other league — by himself. That was the react ion from Tim Flannery, a member o! the defend ing NL champion San Diego Padres after Murphy hit home runs in three consecutive games this past weekend. “There’s got to be another league for him. He’s just waiting to move up,” said Flannery. “I’ve never seen anybody do what he’s doing.” What Murphy has done — after six games — before the Braves played the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night are pretty hefty, even fora four-time All-Star. He’s hitting .478 with 11 hits in 23 at-bats, has driven in Bruns, ripped four home runs and three doubles, drawn four walks, scored nine runs and has a slugging average over 1.000. In addition, the 29-year-old center fielder has only struck out once This may be the key statistic for a fellow who struck out 134 times Iasi season while hitting .290 and tying for the home run lead with 36. In Murphy’s two consecutive MVP seasons in 1982 and 1983 he struck out 134 and 110 times, respectively. Murphy’s easy smile is always on his face and his answer is the same. “I really don’t know. I’m not doing anything different. I just keep swinging like I always do,” he said. But, he indicated there may have been less pressure on him spring, no hordes of reporters following him around, which had been the case after taking the two consecutive MVP titles. “Spring training was different than last year,” he said. “There wasn’t that much attention. Maybe I pressed a little early last year and got off to a slow start.” But, if he didn’t get as much attention during the spring as usual, Murphy has started to get it again during the first week of the renulat season with his torrid hitting. Teammate Rick Mahler, who is off to a 2-0 start and has allowedonl) 1 one run, was asked how he would pitch Murphy. “I wouldn’t,” he said simply. “A guy like that carries a club,” said Braves second baseman Glenn Hubbard. “It’s supposed to be a 25-man club, but sometimes you foreet that because you get to expect so much of Murph.” (continu i sacrifice f help from first Ameri day night a he Milvvau main the o he major le Terrell, I he off-seas it'd Johnsor worked the ering thre< t>ne uhearm Roy _ KANSAS fired a thr boni slamr Tuesday n WAiDEt POND 700 FI Collej
