In both of those bitter defeats, the Cavs scored a season-low 83 points. There was little ball movement as the defense was a grating pass-and-a-rushed-shot, pass-and-a-rushed-shot. "We need to learn how to win games when we're tired," said Cavs general manager Wayne Embry. "It's part of growing up. I know that (Cavs coach) Lenny Wilkens tells them not to let down.

He warned them about 1 Utah and he warned them about New Jersey. But it is like dealing 1 with a teen-ager. You can tell him what not do to, but he 1 doesn't learn until he messes up for himself."

He is doing a lot of his "As The Ball Bounces" routines, including one where George Stelnbrenner sits in Santa Claus' lap and Santa slaps George and calls him a spoiled brat. All ol Franklin's commercial time is sold out, and 60 seconds goes for $500.

That means on his 4-hour spot, Franklin Is earning WFAN $32,000 a day. His station is sending him to the Super Bowl in San Diego and to spring training with the New York Mets. "For the first time in my career, I got a Christmas bonus," Franklin said. "I'm talking about money. In the past, the most I ever got was a coupon for a turkey.

So, I guess that means I'll be on the air at least for next week." Finally, Franklin has Ihe love ol his life Raquel Welch doing promos lor his show. There are rumors that Steve LaMar may be replaced as Herb Score's partner on WWWE's Indians broadcasts. There will be a second all-sports station In addition to WFAN in New York. WIP in Philadelphia soon will adopt that format. It is believed that Force owner Bart Wolstetn has more than just a minor interest in WWWE radio.

Some sources say Wolstein comes very close to owning 50 percent ol Ihe station. Guess where the Force games will be broadcast next year. toni mer right now factors out in the Sting's favor. Nogueira is 3-4 in decisions, and his 5.07 GAA figure markedly is higher than his career average (4.52). But it's still a long season.

The Force practiced Monday before flying into Chicago Monday night. It was definite then that Ali Kaemaini was lost for the 2-game road trip that continues in Dallas Wednesday night. Kazemaini had to come out of Sunday's game, a 6-3 Force conquest of Wichita, in the first half after pulling a hamstring. Kaze-maini's miseries stem from a chronic back problem. Cleveland also may be missing the services of top goal-scorer Craig Allen, whose sore thigh muscle has him listed as "questionable." Allen was ineffectual against Wichita after putting together a 5-point game against Minnesota Dec.

The 7-1 Daugherty went into last week averaging 19 points and nine rebounds and shooting 50 percent. But in the last four games he has averaged 11 points and five rebounds and shot 44 percent. It seems that Daugherty has wandered too far from the basket and is hesitating slightly before he shoots.

He simply is going through a bad stretch. NOTEBOOK The Cavs are expected to activate Harpor today and must cut someone from their roster. It would seem that Johnny Rogers will stay, because he has played in the last two games.
