While the Finals haven’t made for the most scintillating match-up so far (although thankfully Detroit finally showed up in Game 3,) there’s a good deal of NBA news happening off the court of late — namely, the Zen Master’s back in Kobeland of all places and Der Kommissar is threatening another lockout, mainly because team owners want shorter maximum contracts so they can be protected from their own lousy decision-making. (*cough* Allan Houston.) Work it out, people.
