Do you remember this?
So what the happened? Discuss
The Lakers came out and played hard tonight, if you look at the stats they led in nearly every category.
It's hard for me to pin this loss on anyone other than Mr. 9 rings. Stubbornly playing Fisher so many minutes when he went 1-9. Not playing Bynum more minutes when he was dominating in the 1st half. Allowing a 13pt lead to evaporate to 1 in 2:40 without calling a timeout.
At this point it's hard for me to honestly say that Phil Jackson is a top coach in this league. The Lakers are where they are because of the talent they have, and they win in spite of the mistakes of Phil.
2004 we had 4 ing HOF players and HCA and lost disgustingly in 5 games. 2008 he watches the team blow a 24 pt lead in a little over a quarter without calling a timeout. He watches his team get face ed by 39pts in the elimination game. He lets a Rocket team without 2 of their superstars take the Lakers to 7 games. Losing to Geroge Karl would just be icing on the cake.
What better way to disgrace your career Phil. I can't wait till you leave LA and we get a coach that preaches defense, fundamentals, playing hard, and leaving it all on the floor.

Oh....my......god.
The Lakers had no business losing this game and my prediction would have come to fruition had the huge 13pt lead not been allowed to evaporate in a mere 2 minutes.
That was the ball game right there. I could not have forseen that the Jackson would be dumb enough to let that cushion just slip away without doing a damn thing.
I thought he would make all the adjustments that would swing the series in favor of LA... did he over-adjust?

He's good at adjusting in between games.
In game adjustments he's horrible at.
You guys can bash the Laker players all you want. I really don't care. I know they came out and played hard tonight. I know they didn't lose because of lack of effort.
They lost this game because of some serious coaching blunders that they simply could not recover from. In the post season when you have a team down, you go for the kill. You don't swap out the lineup that is working for you.
Laker fan devouring Phil Jackson....pure cannobalism. Never thought I'd see this day 9 years ago.
I deserve all the in the world for believing in Jackson and coming on here and talking him up.
The bottom line is I could never, in my wildest dreams, imagine that he would allow what happened in Game 4 of last year's Finals to ever come close to happening again. I was wrong.
GL finding a coach better the tomjonavich and he lasted like a month
Dude..I bet every time we post, we're gonna piss DrHouse off...Great sig..lol
I never get angry at the Lakers when they lose giving it their all on the court.
They did that tonight. They played hard from start to finish. They just lost.
That I can accept.
You think the Lakers will recover from this DEVASTATING loss?
Give you props for showing this time, but the Lakers let up in the 2nd quarter with only Melo and Kleiza scoring....KOBE HIMSELF SAID SO!!!
Thank god this wasn't game 1 in Denver otherwise this would have been a devastating loss for the Lakers, one they wouldn't be able to recover from.
If Phil leaves, can they give JVG a try? I'd love to see a defensive minded coach. I'm so tired of this team focusing and depending on pure offense to win.
History has told us that when a team comes out and loses a game they should have won on the road it's usually the death sentence for them.
PHX and SAS both lost last season in the same fashion.
And I thought Spurs fans were spoiled .....
I think Denver feels pretty good right now, with HCA and what not.
So, are the Lakers going to recover from this DEVASTATING loss, yes or not?
kobe 10 ft- melo, billups 30ft. and people still claim home court for lakers
I'm angry at the entire team...especially Derek Bricker and Sasha Vujabrick...Sasha sucks immense amount of ass. Fisher should not be getting so many minutes....1-9..amazing... .. ing outstanding...
You can blame the players like Fisher and Vujacic all you want but the bottom line is that Phil is the one putting them in the game for so many minutes.
It's his responsibility to see that the Lakers are INFINITELY better playing Farmar/Brown over Fisher.
Oh please. I was just giving you guys props for not bringing up the whistles...
I thought the calls were pretty even this game... and Melo will get more freethrows since he's outrebounding both Odum and Gasoft.
