Or bangin' the Magic in the pooper.
tee, hee.
Thunder shot 42-48 FT while Lakers shot 17-28? How do you get +20 FT attempt advantage? It was weird when the Mavs had +20 on the Spurs in Game 1, and it's weird here, too.
Or bangin' the Magic in the pooper.
tee, hee.
Holy , 48 free throw attempts?! Is the Thunder the new Miami Heat?
The Thunder did shoot a rather large amount of FT's, but they truly were the aggressors from start to finish. They were slashing to the basket and active on the boards while the Lakers were shooting jumpers and trying to keep OKC in check with physicality which backfired.
tee, hee.
You'll get'em back at home, don't worry.
I'm worried.
LOL at lakers 48-28 and Phil can't say . LOLOLOLOL
Why can't Phil just say, "we got our asses handed to us, we will need to play much better in the coming games if we are going to get past this young and hungry team"??
He used 80 seconds out of his 90 second interview to be a damn victim. What a in pussy. How about you call out your team for playing like and getting out hustled (the out hustled part is not up for argument). I know other coaches who call their team out with great success.
Phil's got to plant his seeds for the next game or he wouldn't feel like he was doing his job.
I feel like this will backfire, and yes I know that he has been doing this his whole career, it just seems like THIS time his act is getting real real old.
You dance with who brung you. He's been doing it one way successfully for 25 years. This is no harry high school horse . It's business, big f'in business. F'k the Thunder. The ft discrepancy is a red flag that Phil can utilize rightfully.
He's got no other choice. The discrepancy is his best strategery public wise. You don't dress down Kobe Bryant and that bunch in public. I'm sure he will in private and they'll filter it thru to the MSM, but, the ft is easy and apparent and "right". He/Lakers are owed now. It's the nature of the beast. It's the way the table has been set since forever.
Knowing Phil, if he thought he had a leg to stand on with the FT's he'd be a bit more direct with his indirectness....if that makes sense, LOL. The fact that he tried to pass it off as a freudian slip is an indirect giveaway that his team got their asses handed to them, but he still wants to make sure the calls will be adjusted in LA.
I guess you are right, I mean, its delusional to think that the FT discrepancy is responsible for a 25 pt victory, but I guess he cant learn anything new so he has to go with what he has always done. Just continue to stay the course.
Why don't you dress down kobe and gang? They played like dogs.
Even if the Lakers end up winning the series, they have been exposed
Take note, NBA
yeah phil wanted to explode but he had that stern warning on his mind. that doesnt mean he didnt give hints of his displeasure. saying they have to play better freethrow defense was a dead giveaway.
Kobe sure was smiling a lot in that presser, almost like he knows something. Hmmmmmm.
That's just defeatist of you, Lefty. What a poon tanger to expose your gorgeous ass like that.
free throw defense is yet another classic Phil line.
who are you? in' niga higa?
Free Throw Defense, hahaha, WTF is that?, OMG im glad i worked and didnt see this game
Free throw defence is a well-known expression used by dozens of coaches before tonight and means that your team was lousy making their free-throws.
How the heck are basketball fans that dont' know the expression and think it's an indirect? Geez...
The Lakers shot 60% from the line. That's obviously horrible. That's what PJ meant by OKC's "FT defense". It's a jab at his team lack of accuracy making freebies.
