		When the Los Angeles Lakers went into Miami a couple of nights ago, they were gunning for their 12th consecutive victory, which would have moved them within three wins of tying the NBA record for most victories in a row to start a season.
		It is newsworthy any time an NBA team puts together a streak that reaches double digits, and these Lakers certainly seem capable of fashioning additional double-digit winning streaks, particularly when O'Neal returns to the lineup.

		In fact, it wasn't until 30 years ago, during the 1972-73 season, that the NBA's average attendance (8,396) surpassed that of the WUSA in 2001.
		Right now, minor league baseball, with virtually no TV exposure, is flourishing in more than 100 American cities and towns, even though many teams lose their biggest stars to major league teams as the season progresses.
		That's not an appropriate model for the WUSA, which can be reasonably compared to AA and AAA baseball, with teams in mid-to-large cities like Louisville, Portland, and San Antonio; the AHL, which has teams in Houston and Chicago; and (don't laugh) Arena Football.
