Yue sucks ass, but there was no one else to put in.
Nice job putting Yue in there. A 17 lead turns into 5.

Powell was putting great hustle and effort . Got nothing against Yue, he's a nice kid, but he is . If he can't even knock down an open look, what the is he good for?
i agree, the 3-peat was a fluke
If he has the best player in the league on his roster, he does well. This year perhaps Kobe is the best and he'll get it. He's good at moving to clubs that have loaded rosters, but ty coaches.
Bull ! I mean c'mon when he took over in Chicago a certain player was there along with a group that was not put together by him. Then he goes to another team with Shaq and Kobe and a group that he again did not put together.
The triangle offense?! Give the ball to that guy because he is the best option. The guy is a coach that happened to be at the right place at the right time.
I would pick Jerry Sloan over him any day and he doesn't even have one ring!

he won 55 games with pippen the year jordan retired......
9 rings.....
Has a coach ever been able to win a le with ty players? No matter how good a coach is teams need talent.
my bad I went off on an angry rant and just threw out some BS. I didn't mean for it to be taken literally but yeah my bad. Point is though the guy just rides the coattails of teams that have already been established. Given the chance I bet he would have jumped at the chance to coach the * team and every group after that.
That's what you get for calling me out
You didn't even count the rings he won with your team
Right that is true but most coaches are involved in building the team they are on. They usually do more than just say give the ball to that guy.
There isn't a coach in NBA history that could have made the playoffs with the 99 Bulls.
And I don't think Phil coached the 99 Bulls, I think he left when Jordan retired.
Yeah he was already with the Lakers that year.
He wasn't coaching that team. The dude cut and ran. Why be on a team without a player like Jordan when you can go to the Lakers? So if Kobe were to leave you think he would actually stay?
Why would he stay when he could go to a better team? You can't fault him for wanting to win.
So what happens when the teams with the best players all have coaches and the only teams with vacancies are teams that are in rebuilding mode? Retirement again?
Yes, he's won 9 les and can get a coaching job as long as he's alive. He can do whatever he wants.
BTW - he took over a Laker team that won 34 games (I think) in 2005 and immediately made them better.
^ same roster and they made the playoffs with walton, smush parker, and chris mihm starting. i think that was arguably his best coaching job hes done.
They also had a 3-1 series lead on the Suns. He took a 34 win team, traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown and added players not worth mentioning, I agree it was one of his best coaching performances. 2007-2008 was also a great job.
Why do you continue to make things up. Jerry Krauss wouldn't renew his coaching contract after the 1998 championship. He said it was time to start looking for the future. The Bulls not renewing Phil Jackson's contract is one of the primary reasons Jordan decided to "retire" after 1998. Jordan has said many times that if the Bulls kept Jackson, he would have continued to play for the Bulls. Jackson did not cut and run.
Phil Jackson did not coach the 1998-99 Lakers. He took a year off. His first year with the Lakers was the 1999-2000 season. And, that was the first le for that Shaq-Kobe team. Say what you want say about Phil Jackson having Jordan and Pippen and Shaq and Kobe, but those Jordan Bulls teams and Shaq and Kobe Lakers teams did not win the le before Phil Jackson coached them. It certainly helped to have great players. But, why didn't they win with Doug Collins or Del Harris?
