I kind of agreed.
I dont like the hack-a-shaq business. I rather see the Spurs defend then "buying" some points.
phil was criticizing pop on PTI just now
"i know some will say i've done it too but it was always on the ball fouls not away from the ball..."

And do we really care what this man says?
Well, goddamn Phil...If you'd a just told us the proper way to purposely foul sooner!!
Phil just rules man.
He's right. While it may be good strategy, it's mainly just ing tacky, and frustrating to watch as a fan. I'm pretty confident in saying that the forefathers of the game probably didn't have it in mind when they created the game. I feel like we don't need to stoop to that level to be successful. Then again, this is the first time I remember Pop doing it for a sustained period of time, and I doubt we'll see it again. Now, I know 98% of this board would eat Pop's feces if he asked them to, so I don't expect many to agree with me in criticizing his choice to do it.
I can't stand Phillis. I'm so glad the Lakers are good again so we can kick their ass in the Playoffs
Phil is right....
Spurs are cheap. Pop is a COWARD, HACK A SHAQ IS A JOKE.
You don't see the Wizards, HACK A BEN WALLACE. He shoots worst than Shaq. Atleast some teams still have respect for the game.
Well, what the were we supposed to do? It's not Pop's fault that Shaq is no longer good enough to actually warrant throwing him the ball.
Fixed...
He used the strategy against Shaq (Chicago vs. Orlando)
He used the strategy against Bowen in 2003 & 2004
Who gives a if it's good coaching or not? Winning is all that matters.
And I know I'm repeating what many other have said for years, if Shaq or his coach don't want this tactic employed, teach the fat to hit a free throw.
Not many good things come out of his mouth. He's a guy who takes himself for granted all the time.
Phil is such an ego centric coach he doesn't want others claiming success for using his strategies...
Phil has never ever ever ever wanted to give the Spurs their due.... he has always publically lambasted, criticized and belittled the Spurs.
fixed.
ps: phil. without kobe/mj he'd be nothing.
It's only good coaching if HE is the one using it. Doesn't matter if it's effective, or not. As long as Col. Sanders does it, it's the only way that it's good coaching.
Geez Pop. Get a clue.
Kick their ass in the playoffs again?
Pop has only beaten Phil Jackson ONCE in the playoffs, and that was when the 3-peat Lakers were at their weakest in terms of a supporting cast. Phil Jackson, OTOH, has beaten Pop 3 times. If there is any ownage going on, it's Phil owning Pop.
I don't expect most Spurs fans to actually agree with what Phil is saying. But deep down I know you are all embarrassed that your coach and organization would have to stoop to such tactic for such a sustained period of time just to get a win.
The Pop hack a Shaq is all about getting into Shaq's head and raising the pressure on him so doesn't have chance to get rolling in the game and less about getting the ball back on offense.
I love how people cry about it now even though I don't remeber any talking about rule changes back when they did it to Timmy.
Go SPURS!
Just starting his mind games....and Phil did foul when the player actually got the ball in their hands...not off the ball. I may be mistaken but that's what I've seen, which is nothing new as wilt was hacked the same way back in the day.
The difference there is that both Wizards and Cavaliers are average teams. Those two can fight it out. Kind of like the best of the worse.
Remind me which plays the Spurs run for Bowen where that would actually apply? Phil wouldn't have his team foul Bowen while he was in the act of shooting his corner threes now would he?
Again, Phil is a lying hypocrite. Bowen has always been 'hacked' off the ball.

Again the difference then was Shaq and Kobe and oh may I remind you that Rick Fox, Derek Fisher and even our own Robert Horry was part of that team that beat the Spurs all those times.
Lakers at the time had a wayyy more in-depth bench then the Spurs.
Now its a different story. Now they have Kobe and Pau.
If not for a Fisher miracle they would be tied in playoff series head-to-heads....
Selective memory forum.
not embarrassed one bit... we won the series right? that's all that counts. i could care less how.
The Zit Master is a gravy-training punk. Do the people who didn't like Pop's strategy realize that after Mike the Woodchuck had to take Fat O'Neal out of the game, Parker drove to the basket for two layups shortly thereafter? It's called strategy.
