Jackson confident about playoffs, Spurs included

you, you fat prick.

Were you even involved with this topic???

WTF???? I didn't realize it was a private matter. Didn't know comments about Phil Jackson were restricted to a privileged few. Excuse the out of me.

Uh, Jim? She did say your pie-hole, she was referring to Phil's.

Asked about Bryant's situation with the officials, Jackson said, ''I don't think there is anything, and the more attention you draw to it, the worse it becomes. So it's better to shut up and swallow your pride."

1. If Phil practiced what he preached the world would be a very quiet place.
2. An army of starving whales couldn't swallow all of Kobe's pride.

I actually think the Western Conference playoffs will be very compe ive right from the start in the first round. I think both the Lakers and the Kings could put in a scare into any of the top seeds. And, if Denver wasn't a top 3 seed, I think they would do some damage as a low seed, but it looks like they should be set as the division winner in the NW.

Kobe in the playoffs is scary. Now, he likely won't be able to carry his team past the Suns, Spurs, or Mavs, but I don't think it's a sweep with any of them, and I think Kobe can win more than one game just by himself. Kobe could beat the Mavs by himself multiple games in a series.

It will be very interesting to see ... if the Lakers are able to win enough games to remain a playoff team.

Lakers last 13 games of the season:

-10 of the 13 are HOME games.

-7 of the 13 are against (as of today) playoff teams

-4 of the 13 are against TOP 4 seed playoff teams

-2 back-to-back sets


Lakers should be able to hold off New Orleans and Utah for one of the final two playoff spots. And, it is unlikely that the Lakers move up much higher than the 7th seed. So, odds are that the Lakers face either the Spurs or Suns.

Not a problem, Jimcs50. Consider it in the past. We will never speak of it again.

And, I am a girl...well, I used to be a girl...now I'm an old lady.

Keeping your pie-hole shut ain't such a bad idea, either.

Playing agaisnt the lakers with kobe inside is always a difficult match, i dont really care phil jackson, because he doesnt play, i am only concerned about kobe. Either He can win you alone or he can improve his teammates like WALTON , for that reason if i were pop i will try to avoid lakers. Nevertheless, as people always say, "if you want to be the CHAMPION, you must win all of them"

Phil, the lakers havent even clinched a playoffs spot yet. concentrate on that first
