Jackson says D'Antoni will calm down

[TDMVPDPOY]

question is, why does mike d thinks his team deserves respect?

they have done jack with there run n gun system

[timvp]

I can't believe I'm typing this but I have to side with D'Antoni on this one. He has scoreboard over Phil Jackson and the Lakers. His teams have handled the Lakers in the playoffs ... and if they play again this year, the Suns would beat the Lakers again. Phil Jackson acting like he still has Shaq or MJ on his team is pretty comical. Mind games don't work as well when your second best player is Luke Walton.

That said, D'Antoni playing Grant Hill 40 minutes in the third regular season game of the season is exponentially stupid. Hill should be averaging around 25-28 minutes per game. Even playing him 40 minutes in a playoff game would be pushing it. This early?

That's laughably dumb.

The rivalry is back.

The rivalry is back.

It ain't a rivalry till you guys have actually won something. Till then you're just another run and shoot team.

I can't believe that you typed that either! How can they have scoreboard when Phil Jackson has 9 les and the Lakers have 14? It's scoreboard because they won the last couple of years? I would say Phil and the lakers have scoreboard!!!

Were the suns missing someone the other night? Was that their whole team we saw the other night? If so, I like the lakers chances if they meet in the playoffs. Two of the Lakers starters or big contributers, two BIG players were not even suited up. Mihm and Odom. That's even more muscle to throw at the Suns. Amare will constantly be in foul trouble and the Lakers would be able to pound the paint. We'll have to wait and see, but I like our chances!

Some people never learn.

Didn't the Lakers blow out the Suns on opening night last year without Kobe Bryant?

The Lakers are still irrelevant....no different than the clipps, warriors or Kings.

Irrelevance sure kicked your ass the other night! Enjoy your regular season because it will be all for you. With what you have now, you do not stand a chance in the playoffs.

Are you being serious? what the does 14 les have to do with TODAY's Lakers?? The Suns most certainly have scoreboard over the Lakers.

This being said, I also think Jackson has D'Antoni all riled up, and that will factor heavily on future meetings. D'Antoni acted like an ass in this case.

Im trying to figure out how you gauge scoreboard, are you being selective? Yes they beat the lakers in the playoffs the PAST 2 seasons. Is that how you gauge scoreboard? I always thought scoreboard was the final outcome. The lakers beat they're asses the other day, in Phoenix. If we're not talking about the past, That's SCOREBOARD!

You still didn't answer the question. What does 14 les have to do with the Lakers today? How do those 14 les in any way, shape, or form give them an advantage over the Suns?

Now I don't agree that the Suns own the Lakers or anything like that. They have a better team than the Lakers, and should have beat them. The fact that the Lakers took them to 7 shows there is a major issue with the Suns (lack of defense/rebounding). But this year, I don't think the Suns want to see the Lakers in the playoffs. I see the Lakers winning in 5 if they meet, because Bynum owns Amare, and Kobe I think has really gotten focused more on winning, as opposed to his personal stats and goals.

It has no relevance whatsoever but neither does beating an injured, rebuilding Lakers team of the PAST 2 years ago. This is a different team with young players who now have experience and are coming of age. Scoreboard is what had Mikey crying!

[LakeShow]

Looking it over, I guess the scoreboard is that Mikey is 2-0 vs. Phil and the lakers in his tenure.

The Suns have D'Antoni, Nash, Marion, and Stoudemire.

The Lakers have Phil, Kobe, and Odom (and now add Bynum to that mix).

They are the same core groups of players, with a few different role players here and there.

If you were a true Laker fan, you would have aknowledged that from the get-go.

Can you say Smush Parker? That is the biggest change by the lakers for teams like Phoenix. A Veteran PG with 3 rings. Smush gave us nothing against the suns except for the first year when he played well a couple of games.

What I am acknowledging is that the last game played between the two, the Lakers and Phil Jackson had SCOREBOARD! Look it up! Ok, moving on!

whuts up with the scoreboard?

Lakers cant bring up the past rings, but suns can bring up the past 2 seasons, but then again, lakers just whoooped on the suns by 30. So which one really counts....if you cant bring up the past, the i guess this season, the Lakers are on top right?

It's like those ty Yankee fans who still talk after Boston has won this year.

They yell scoreboard, most championships in all of sports, blah blah blah. "Win 27 and THEN talk!" None of that matters. They can't win a WS with that line-up of all-stars NOW? STFU.

If a team hasn't done (make a respectable run in the playoffs) in the last 5 years, then their talking can't be taken too seriously.

Plus it's still the first/second week of the season. Who cares LOL.

but when Jackson and Mikey get into it, Mikey can say he won the last two playoffs matches against the Lakers and Jackson, but Jackson can flash 9 championship rings. That's scoreboard, imo!

Well since 5 yrs ago Lakers were champions, i guess they can still be talkers according to your rules or did you want to change it to "last 4 years"

That is no different than the reason you came on this board to fake as a ing Lakers fan. You were pissed because Spurs fans were constantly flashing 4 rings in Mavs fans and Rockets fans faces, so you changed to be this Lakers fan so you could flash 14 rings in their face, when in reality you are a dumb that just can't debate basketball for , you hypocritical piece of .
