Yep, Pop no longer has the coaching edge he had in the first two rounds, which was actually a really big edge for the Spurs.
And no coach knows the Spurs tendencies more so than Phil Jackson.![]()
Sorry, but just like 2004, Phil worries me more than any player on the Lakers.

I heard he's already started whining about the Spurs flopping.
Popovich/Jackson good matchup. I give the edge to Phil due to homecourt.
Yessir...we do have better shooting this time around so that's a plus![]()
If D'antoni can beat this guy i'm not quite as scared of him as I once was! Even though this team is much better than the one that lost to the suns.
Uh, I give the edge to Phil because he's Phil Jackson. 3 sets of 3peats...enough said.
I hate that colonel sanders mother er
Those Suns teams were just better then the Lakers at that time. Plus Kobe disappearing in Game 7 in 2006 helped alot.
I give the edge to Pop because there's a nice, soft, wet pink middle in the Lakers' post defense.
Kick his ass, Seabass!
If we won't let them in the post and shut down role players, we have chance.
But damn Jackson is realy good and their offense killed Utah, they have great offensive solutions (versitile)
I think Byron Scott is a damn underrated coach. This is the first year he's had a playoff team that didn't make the Finals.
But Phil's in another league. Those teams that lost to Phoenix had no reason getting that far. When they went up on them 3-1 in 2006, they should have called that series right then out of respect.
He's talking to the refs about this post
Yeah go ask Kidd. Kind of poetic for Scott to send him fishing.
He's gonna play Duncan alot like Scott did
In 2004, Phil targeted a 22-year old Tony Parker who couldn't hit a jumpshot, who wasn't half as good on penetrations as he would later become, and who to that point in his career was known as a player who faded in the big moments.Sorry, but just like 2004, Phil worries me more than any player on the Lakers.
They're going to have to outplay the Spurs at every phase. Relying on psychology won't work this time.
Not to mention he had the most physical frontcourt in human history.
Lakers are a great, great team. Those little offensive droughts the Spurs like to go on are going to be capitalized by a Phil Jackson coached team.
I think Phil's gameplan is going to be similiar to Byron Scott's, except the Lakers actually have the personell to execute it better. Odom is playing out of his mind right now and he's the X-Factor.
Sorry, Phil Jackson, but this time we are for REAL
If we steal game 1, we got the series due to momentum from the NO series. If we don't, we still have a chance since we have the experience edge on them.
You are ST very own pessimist.
That's good - let's her stay that way![]()
Yeah, it was nice to see the Spurs hit outside shots, but I truly believe Gasol on TD straight up would surprise some people (to the Lakers favor).
I see LAL packing the lane and forcing the Spurs to rely on their 3 ball shooting.
I'm also REALLY worried about the free throw differences between the teams and the series hasn't even begun yet!
