* Alonzo Mourning should play in the All-Star Game, just to remind opponents how easy they had it when Miami came to town this year.

* Please, no more about how players no longer care.

* Larry Brown really needs a healthy team again, because sometimes he looks as lost and abandoned as a ticket scalper at the Charlotte Coliseum.

* Just for once, maybe starting next November, Zydrunas Ilgauskas can get through a season without breaking something, if only to confirm what he was truly meant to be--one of the five best centers in the world.

* A clean bill of health for Grant Hill next fall would be nice, just to restore some of the hope in what is a near-hopeless conference.

* Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson finally need to stop yammering about how the Bulls still would annihilate teams today. Chicago's run is over. Now get over it!

* Wouldn't it be great to watch the Utah Jazz--heroes to fortysomethings throughout the land--make it out of the West? Along the way, it would be nice to see John Stockton bag another assists title.
