DALLAS (AP) — T he most burn
ing issue in Dallas is not whether the
Cowboys of the NFL will abandon
their ‘Flex’ defense in 1987.
Most coffee shop theory questions
whether the Mavericks have finally
reached elite status in the NBA.
By “elite” we mean the Boston
Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers
and the Houston Rockets, clubs who
have proven they belong in the June
championship game.
This topic broke into a high fever
after the Mavericks, who are off to
their best start ever, flogged the
Lakers by 15 points in Reunion
Arena.
Lakers Coach Pat Riley called the
loss “embarrassing.”
Considering the public whipping
occurred on national television, it
may have been the most impressive
regular season victory in the Maver
icks’ history.
The Mavericks were so dominat
ing, they didn’t even need Mark
Aguirre, who had 35 points in the
fourth period.
Never has a Dallas team so domi
nated the Lakers. The Mavs heat up
on them once without Kareem Ab-
dul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson in
the lineup, so that one doesn’t count.
The query before the house is
were the Lakers just a tired team (it
was their fifth road game in seven
days) or could Dallas do the same
thing to a rested Jabbar and John-
The answer will come on Monday
when Dallas visits the Forum where
they should meet an inspired foe.
Dallas won two games before it
lost a playoff series to the Lakers last
season.
The talk is that Dallas is much im
proved, although witnesses to a re

ington might beg to differ. They

The facts are that at the midway
point of the season, the Mavericks
were leading the Midwest Division
and were 11 games over .500.
Guard Derek Harper has been
amazing. He’s averaged 16 points
per game, shoots 52 per cent from
the field, ranks seventh in the NBA
in assists and fourth in steals. He is
just one of 10 players in the NBA
with more steals than turnovers. It’s
no wonder he recently got a 10-year
contract.
Seven-foot center James Don

sion leaders respect in the lane. No

Philadelphia guards Toney, Fn
headed in opposite directions«
Andrew Toney and World B.
Free, two of the NBA’s best
shooters in the past decade, ap
pear to be going in opposite di
rections as backup guards for the
Philadelphia 76ers.
With six guards, including All-
Stars Julius Erving and Maurice
Cheeks, on the 76ers roster,
Coach Matt Guokas has to juggle
the playing time of Free and To
ney, who have combined for
more than 24,000 NBA points.
In his first 11 games after join
ing the 76ers on Dec. 20, Free
played 196 minutes and averaged
6.7 points off the bench. But he
has not played at all in the last two
games, while Toney returned to
the team Sunday after three
weeks on the injured list and in
Guokas’ doghouse.
“When we picked up World,
we didn’t expect Andrew to be
back for a while,” Guokas said.
“Now we have six guards on the
roster and I can’t go into a game
expecting to play five or six
guards.”
Toney was placed on the in
jured list because of sore feet on
Jan. 5, but at the same time he
was told by Guokas that he was a
negative influence on the team.
He was banned from sitting on
the bench during games anti was
told not to come to practice.
But after several meetings in
cluding Toney, Guokas, General
Manager John Nash and owner
Harold Katz, Toney was re
instated.
With the logjam in the back-
court, Guokas installed Toney as
a backup for Cheeks at point
guard ahead of Steve Colter.
Rookie David Wingate and Free
are reserves behind Erving.
Toney has played unusually
well since his return.
On Sunday, he scored 21

Warriors 7 Carroll chosen as All-Stc
for first time in consistent career
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Joe
Barry Carroll became a consistent
20-point scorer early in his NBA ca
reer, and he was consistently
snubbed at selection time for the All-
Star game.
But this year, despite scoring and
rebounding averages below his ca
reer bests, the 7-foot center will be
representing the Golden State War
riors in the gathering of the league’s
elite players on Feb. 8 at Seattle.
“There’s not a great deviation
from what my numbers have been in
the past. The difference is we’re win
ning,” Carroll observed after being
picked by the Western Conference
head coaches to be on the West
squad as a reserve.
The Warriors, though, have not
been winning lately. They have lost
five straight games, their longest
skid this season.
It has been suggested that a
change in attitude may have been re
sponsible for Carroll being selected
for the All-Star team.
Because he often took the court
with the facial expression of a bored
worker on the assembly line, Car
roll’s desire was questioned by some.
“I wasn’t one of them,” said Eric
“Sleepy” Floyd, the Warriors’ guard
who also will play in the All-Star
game.
Carroll and Floyd are the War
riors’ first All-Stars since 1982, when
Bernard King was picked.
It has been 10 years since the team
had double representation, Rick
Barry and Phil Smith, in the All-Star
game — and also 10 years since the
Warriors made the NBA playoffs.
“When you lose, you tend to be
not looked upon as favorably, not
even by us. There were a lot of play
ers here who didn’t think they were
participating in big-time basketball,”
said Carroll, who made his disen
chantment with the Warriors’ man
