On another note, the Lakers aren't doing too much to defend their NBA title...as they lost to the 1999 champs San Antonio Spurs, 91-81, in Texas. This is L.A.'s 2nd loss in a row, with 3 losses so far in the 2000-2001 season.
MEMO to Phil Jackson: San Antonio does NOT deserve an asterisk next to their championship title. The season in which they won may have been shortened dramatically, but the playoffs sure weren't. The Spurs still needed 15 games to win during the post season, which they did.
