lol, remember their 2004-2005 season w/o Phil, BOY WAS THAT D IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Great coaching phil. Going with radmanoviz over bynum for "defensive" purposes?
We need a defensive coach badly. Phil just doesn't give a .

How's phil balls taste?
He's too busy sucking off the Spurs to know that yet.
I wasn't aware anyone who doesn't consider Phil a bad coach has sucked his balls. I also wasn't aware a 9 time championship winner was considered a bad coach. I don't really know anything anymore![]()
I'd rather "suck on" the Spurs then have whatever fetish you have with a 7 footer who can't post Louis Amundson up.
Funny how the Jordan/Pippen and Kobe/Shaq teams won squat before PJ arrived. Yes, coaches have to have great players to win a le. Wow, thats rocket science isnt it? But how many coaches HAVE had great players and won nothing? The list is long. Hmmmmmmmmm
9 rings... 10th comming soon... Enough said...
The fact that the 05/06 won 45 games is enough of a testament to say he is a great coach.
Phil is the most opportunistic coach in history - not the best coach.
He fully realizes that the NBA runs on its stars. He had Jordan, and he had Shaquille. They were far and away the most dominant players in the league, so he won 9 rings. It's that simple.
Now he has Bryant, who isn't as dominant as Jordan and Shaquille were, but he gets more calls than any player in the history of the league. Phil knows that stars get the calls, so you will never see Phil coach a team that doesn't have at least one big star.
Bryant isn't good enough to win a ring with "his own team." That's why the Lakers had no prayer before the Gasol trade. Everybody knows that Bryant needs a big man to win. So we'll see if they can pull it off this year. I say they can't.
That team was horrible. He did a lot with very little.
I would have to agree considering that Brian Cook, Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, and Chris Mihm combined for 233 starts.
Show me a player who did win a ring on his own. I would love to see it. Show me one who didn't have their counterpart. Please show me or STFU. Last I looked... Shaq never won without Kobe either. Jordan never won without Pippen. And Pippen never won without Jordan. And before you go there... dont even bring up the Miami thing with Shaq... we all know who was the dominant player in those series.
And to clue your ignorant ass in... the Lakers were in 1st place in the west prior to the Bynum injury. No Gasol present.
Idiotic thing to say.
Wade would not have won the champ by himself. It was after the Shaq trade that that feat was possible. Or did Miami won the champ before Shaq? I cant remember. Can you refresh my memory?
Idiotic? What did Shaq win in Orlando? The point was that no one player wins it alone. Kobe needed Shaq... Wade needed Shaq. Shaq needed Kobe and Wade as well. It's not friggen rocket science. Again, I implore all you idiots who bark about kobe winning nothing without Shaq to show me a single player who won without another star or two on their side. INCLUDING SHAQ.
And BTW... to refresh your memory... Wade was the MVP and dominant player in their le run... so if yor going to use Kobe never won anything without Shaq at ude cause Shaq was so dominant... it has to be that Shaq couldnt have won that year without Wade. You cannot have it both ways.
Again, i would love for anyone to show me the single superstar that won a le without others.
You Shadow are the idiot.
Is an idiotic statement because you simply said that Shaq hadn't won a championship after Kobe which is BS since he did. Wade or no he still has one without Kobe.
I'll agree with you that every great player needs his big man to go places but all I'm saying is Kobe to me, and this is my sole opinion, needed Shaq more then Shaq needed him. Again, Shaq has one extra champ without Kobe to prove it. While in the other hand Kobe has yet to get his without him.
For Kobe's sake he better get another ring within the next few years because his clock is ticking.
Wadw would have won with kwame en brown that year.....he's called Dwhistle for a reason.
My bad... My implication about Shaq not winning without Kobe was meant to pertain to their years together. Of course he won in Miami as i later said in the post. As far as who needed who more... who's to say? Shaq dominated games and Kobe finished them. Not to mention all the other qualitly players alongside. They win squat together without Shaw, Horry, Fox etc.
I'm willing to bet...when it's all said and done...Kobe has more rings than Shaq. But we will have to see.
Again, we misintrepeted each other. No prob.
oh my bad![]()
