Lakers' toughest foe may be history Forget the Sixers or the Bucks. The Lakers' real opponents right now are the '89 Pistons, the '91 Bulls and the '99 Spurs. Those three teams each went 15-2 during their respective playoff runs, the best since the NBA went to its current format in '83-84... |

Who's the answer? Open season on Allen Iverson came to a temporary halt on Sunday when last year's MVP exploded on the Boston Celtics for 42 points in a sweep-preventing 108-103 victory for the Philadelphia 76ers. But the criticism will most assuredly resume if the Sixers lose Game 4... |

If anyone's like Mike, it's Kobe Kobe is, in my opinion, the player who has a chance to get close to Jordan. (Notice I said close.) Bryant made incredible strides this year, both physically and mentally. He has a will to win, the ability to get off his shot whenever he wants to and he's a soon-to-be-great defender... |

Kobe, For Better or (More Likely) Worse Sure, 12-9 might look fine now, but the Los Angeles Lakers are in trouble. They have already played their softest-quarter schedule this season, and tougher games lie ahead. Deep-sixing the team's other stars and keeping Kobe is the crux of the problem. |

Chasing the Elusive Ring Ever since Larry Brown came to town about a decade ago, the Indiana Pacers have played some of the most consistent basketball in the NBA; they made the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Unfortunately, they lost the first four, three of them in seven games. |
