11-08-1987. Mastertape wasn't too great, pardon any minor fluttering in the color. This is the second gm of the 88 season and only the 2nd game of Stu's career as Chick's color commentator, hired that offseason after Keith Erickson decided to retire. Stu didn't really talk that much for quite awhile until he got the jitters out. He also had to learn how to get his comments into Chick's rapid fire 1-man gang announcing style. -- Lakers won 62 gms in 1988, but they were inconsistent so it didn't feel like a standard 60 wn season. The 1998 squad that won 61 games was more consistent w/ the Ws and Ls. HOU otoh, was embarking on a 4 year stretch as First Round fodder and then, in 92, they lost the 8th seed on the last possession of the season to the Lakers when Sedale hit the GW over a flopping bitch Doc Rivers in the final RS game of the season. HOU benefitted by getting Horry in the lottery while the Lakers got destroyed by Porty during the 92 LA Riots.
