Blinebury: Finally, more than two weeks into the season, it begins to get interesting.

The way only the Lakers can.

Guru Phil Jackson spends training camp and the early days doing his Eddie Haskell routine about free throws and it grates on Shaquille O'Neal.

Jackson levies an insignificant fine on Shaq for missing two straight practices following the birth of his daughter and the mountain with feet erupts.

This is what passes for a plot line in Hollywood, not to mention the four corners of the NBA map.

Disharmony. Conflict.
