Paula Johnson is sitting on the steps behind the little brown house she rents on a road called Morning Glory. She draws hard on a long More cigarette, one of many she'll suck down during this week from hell.

Jordan steadfastly refuses to play without Jackson. That could probably be resolved (suck it up for one more year, Krause). But Jordan, 35, most likely won't return without sidekick Scottie Pippen. Pippen originally refused to play this year, despises Krause even more than do Jackson and Jordan (who, high-school-style, doesn't say hi to Krause when they pass in the halls...
