The obvious question heading into the 2002-03 season is, of course, whether the Los Angeles Lakers will four-peat, a feat that hasn't been achieved since the Boston Celtics won eight championships in a row between 1958 and 1966. But there are many other questions. |

Unfortunately, they lost the first four, three of them in seven games. |
