Phil Jackson: "We'll be back on Tuesday night"

[LkrFan]

As Jackson finished up his media session to catch the team's 2 p.m. PT flight to Dallas, he was asked if he had thought about the possibility that he could be leaving Los Angeles for the last time as the Lakers coach.

"We'll be back on Tuesday night," Jackson said, swatting away the notion of a sweep and preparing to continue his "last stand" season at Staples Center for Game 5 and beyond.

:lol

lol switch

[mavsfan1000]

Well he's right. They'll be back for Thursday as well.

[monosylab1k]

tbh I think the Lakers actually will backdoor sweep Dallas.

[TE]

That's swag talking for ya'.

[LkrFan]

It's a mystery to me that the Lakers swept the Hornets easily in the RS and "struggled" with their undermanned team in the playoffs. Then they beat Dallas 2-1 in their RS series, now they can't beat them - at home no less? :wakeup

[Splits]

C U Next Tuesday....

What - no prediction of a sweep for the Mavs? Those 1st two Mav Ws didn't convince you? Me neither. :lol

[ImDaNuts]

Phil jackson....legendary

[dunkman]

Laker girls are cool, but the sweep looks more probable tbh . . . the last team I remember returning to 2:2 after being 0:2 were the 95 Spurs against the Hakeem Rockets. If they split games in Dallas, it will be over in 5 or 6 maxi.

[TheManFromAcme]

Mighty big of Phil....:rolleyes

hope he backs that up but I won't hold my breath.....

the last time it happened was in 04-05 when Dallas did it against us.

[djohn2oo8]

I meant the last to comeback and win

[Banzai]

If the lakers get swept... Will this be the second time since 1999?

[Shank]

Have a little faith, mono. If you removed the names on the jerseys and the franchise mystique behind the Lakers and just watched 5-5 play for these last 2 games, who would you say is the better team that's holding most of the cards?

[cheguevara]

I would normaly agree with scared mavfan. But this team has Jason Kidd and JJ Barea. not to mention chandler. I can see the lakers being swept.

[Giuseppe]

He's afraid, Shank.

He's wounded from '06. And he's got a point. You're gonna win the last game next month, or, you'll join us in last place.

They're the Lakers and we're the Mavericks. Until I see that 4th win firmly in place, I'm going with decades of NBA history telling me there's no way in hell Dallas wins this thing.

"this thing" would just start it. You'd finish it next month, or, you'll be just one of 28 others in last place.

[Vertical]

Sweep...Of course they'll back to LA. Exit interviews anyone?

[sribb43]

Stern won't let the mavs sweep, let alone let them win this series

[Giuseppe]

There ya go insulating yourself in case you lose.

Ya pussy, you.

[Findog]

tbh I think the Lakers actually will backdoor sweep Dallas.

The winner of Game 6 is the series winner.

[jag]

What a sad day it is when Laker fan is excited because their coach is confident the Lakers wont get swept.

[Vertical]

Reverse psych Mavfan? shielding yourselves from disappointment?

[Giuseppe]

The winner of Game 6 is the series winner.

:lol Fin, puttin' on enough insulation to get thru a Game 6.

Yer absolutely adorable!

The Heat thing really fucked you Mavs Fellows.

Lakers will get a split in Dallas and win Game 5. If it goes back to LA for Game 7, the Lakers win.

[jag]

If the lakers had a "switch" they would have flipped that bitch at home, down 0-1. At this point, their goal is to prevent a sweep.

Mavs in 5

[sribb43]

U of all people should know this you cockhold bitch. Have u sent out your thank you card to Stern for the '02 title after he skull fucked the Kings

CWEBB shouldn't a turned his back on Horry. We all know Adelman told him outta that TO to stay with him, no matter what, but, that dunski knew better.

But, that's for another time.

Just act like somebody, Ribby.

Fine.

Now you can return to your pacing back & forth in your living room.

Culbu, how far does this series go?

I don't do predictions, Jaggy. It's my religion. I'd feel silly and pedestrian making them.

I do post mortems.

It's over though. Dallas is like Memphis against you guys:::driven, exact, relentless, dispassionate, consciousless. It's a fine job of preparation & execution by Carlisle and his charges.

Kidd is wonderful. He just is.

[monosylab1k]

There's no way in hell Dallas rings. I'll gladly hang up my "we beat the lakers" banner in the offseason, if it happens.

[DMC]

If the Lakers beat the Mavs twice in Dallas, that's going to be some fucked up, repugnant ass shit and the stink will linger for a long time around here.

not really. history suggest that beating the mavs is the norm.

[Shank]

If the Lakers were going to "flip the switch", wouldn't they have done it before going 6-9 in their last 15 and allowing Gasol's pussy to leak all over the place, Kobe to go into chucker mode, players to call out each other and Artest to go batshit crazy again? Now doesn't seem like the right time.

I appreciate the optimism, but I just can't go there. I still have 30 years worth of evidence saying "They're the Lakers, we're the Mavericks".

[clambake]

yup

[Findog]

The Rangers did eliminate the Yankees. The Mavs and Lakers have historically enjoyed a similar relationship. Dallas SHOULD win this.
