Man, if Larry had an off night, I can imagine how the rest of the team did

Early days for Lil' Randy. What are your goals for Randy as a rookie?

Crack the starting lineup and make an all rookie team.

Had a vision for a more newspaper looking layout that I didn't fully get to implement because the winds started and the threat of losing power had me rushing.

finessed the first game report, closer to what I'll be doing for posted games. Aiming for 20-25 individual game reports which includes ~5 NBA on NBC style presentations I'm planning. Let me know what y'all think and what I can do better. Want this to be the cats pajamas.

JOHN BAGLEY TAKES A SHOT FOR BOSTON

BOSTON - The Celtics and Hawks have agreed to a trade that will send guard John Bagley and a 2nd round pick in the 1992 draft to Atlanta in exchange for the Hawks 1993 first round pick and a 1993 2nd round pick that the Hawks got from the Clippers.

Atlanta has suffered injuries to both members of their starting back court, Maurice Cheeks and Stacey Augmon. Bagley will take over as their starting point guard and will work in their guard rotation when Cheeks and Augmon are healthy.

Bagley averaged 4.3PPG and 5.5APG in 54 games during the 1989-90 season before missing nearly 30 games due to a knee injury that also caused him to miss the entire 1990-91 season. The Celtics drafted point guards Dee Brown and Randall Rollins in the 1990 and 1991 drafts, unsure what they would get out of Bagley when he did return. Bagley started at point guard in all five of Boston's game so far this season, averaging 5.4PPG and 6.8APG.

Brown and Rollins are expected to take over the starting point guard role for Boston.

After the trade was finalized the Celtics announced that they had signed free agent Kenny Battle.
