CAMBY, IN PINK RAGE, ASKS, "HOW CAN YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY?"

          Knicks F Marcus Camby "wasn't amused Sunday at the Air
     Canada Centre when the Raptors' game-operations crew played
     the sound of a baby crying" when Camby entered the game as a
     substitute, according to Bill Harris of the TORONTO SUN. 
     Camby called the sound effects "bush league."  But Maple
     Leaf Sports & Entertainment Dir of Event Operations &
     Production Jim Roe said, "What we did Sunday did not break
     any rules.  It falls into the realm of personal taste.  Some
     people would find it funny, while others would be offended. 
     We call it a home-court advantage."  Harris notes that
     despite the various in-game NBA guidelines, "there is
     nothing specific to cover player substitutions or targeted
     mockings of visiting athletes."  Roe: "If we can do
     something within the rules that even momentarily throws a
     visiting player off his game, we'll do it.  We would never
     take it off the court, though.  Everything we do is confined
     to things that happen in the basketball world.  We wouldn't
     get into somebody's personal life" (TORONTO SUN, 3/23).
