Question Marks

The Lakers and Kobe Bryant have to be the most talked about mediocre team in history. Jerry Buss has successfully dismantled an organization that was a serious championship contender to a team that may have new head coach Rudy Tomjanovich sounding a lot like Jim Mora. Playoffs? It is truly up in the air for a team with no presence in the middle. Kobe’s demands, and Buss’ stupidity in heeding them, were outrageous and pathetic. Bryant wanted to be the star of the main event, but now it looks like he will be only highlighting the matinee.

Toronto, with its 3-0 start, has started to turn heads, but has sinse dropped to 4-3. They have knocked off the Rockets and the Pistons early. Rafer Alston looks like a solid starting point guard, Chris Bosh is living up to the hype, and Vince Carter may finally be having fun. The early success could quiet talk of dealing Carter, however, should the team start to slip, expect that to be revitalized. This team is the strongest in a dismal Eastern Conference Northeast Division and should make the playoffs.
