The Corleones, late-40's: After Sonny's tragic death and the near-assassination of Don Vito, the family's youngest son (Michael) emerges from exile in Italy and turns the Corleone family around, defying heavy odds and the skepticism of just about everyone (even his brother, Fredo). ROFL! This is actually a very good theory, though that author certainly didn't create it. It has been around for a while. The ex-Sampson era was when I first noticed it. Tom

I was very disappointed in Lenny Wilkens last night. The Raptors were being very smart defensively in Game 1 and in the first quarter of Game 2, running double-teams at Iverson whenever he put the ball on the floor. Then, they seemed to stop. At some point during Iverson's barrage, Lenny had to make an adjustment. With such a team of non-scorers out there, you have to take the ball out of Iverson's hands by doubling him. At the very least, Lenny should have tried Vince Carter on him, since it has been established that tall athletic guards give him the most trouble. I will concede that it is hard to double-team a guy who is hitting three-pointers, but you just don't let anyone score 54 on you when his teammates all suck. BTW, Vince shot zero free throws last night, exhibiting his one weakness: he doesn't take the ball to the basket enough. Tom
