To be honest it's a non-story. Phil is just being Phil and ing with Pop and the spurs organization. He wouldn't with your team if they didn't have any rings.Dominique Wilkins couldn't carry that load alone in '97
I felt the Hack-a-Shaq was overrated. The off-the-ball fouls were, at most, four times a game, not really the disruption to the "entertainment" as some (not Jackson) have claimed. So in that essence, I feel like the whole thing has been overblown.
Point taken on Kobe getting over it.
I think you're right, the lakers will destroy the Jazz, though I hope they take you to 5-6 games, because I'm pretty sure that the Hornets will drag our series out to 5-6 games. Before the Spurs and Lakers meet up we need to get Manu well. Will be the best conf finals in a long time.
Excellent point. Here's to a potentially stellar WCF.
From "reliable internet sources"Bynum will be ready by then. It will be a great series.
Like a great American by the name of Mills Lane once said, "Let's get it on!"From "reliable internet sources"
Lakers will be waitingExcellent point. Here's to a potentially stellar WCF.
In the words of the Great Chuckster about Phil:
"If I had Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan on my team, I'd talk trash too"
Jazz should fold pretty easily, I don't want to see the Rockets. Lakers should be waiting again for the Spurs/Hornet series. Just for my own selfish reasons, I'd like Lakers/Spurs WCF but Hornets would be easier.
For the first time since Shaq left, the Lakers have a comparable amount of talent compared to the elites like Spurs, Suns, Celtics, Pistons.
This year will be the start of "Winner of the 2000-2010 decade", Spurs or Lakers, Pop or Phil, Kobe or Duncan. So far, it was Lakers early on and the Spurs the last couple of years.
Should be fun and Phil's already got his mindgames rollin' so I'm sure he's fairly certain the Spurs are up next. Heck he might even throw in some Hack a Bowen's for fun
ClassicI hadn't heard that one before.
Provided the Spurs and Lakers get past our next opponents, and they will, it's like the WCF have already started and the whistle hasn't even blown yet.In the words of the Great Chuckster about Phil:

I sure hope Bynum will suit up against the Spurs. Lakers won't have the "victim" mentality (ask the Suns) when they lose...From "reliable internet sources"
Phil Jackson, when we're done with the nuts, the Colonel like-a-like cripple is next.
Phil Jackson loves getting "under the skin" of the Spurs, like he did when he said there should be an asterisk next to the '99 ring (he was the first to imply this). I think he's just prepping himself for a WCF showdown with his (0-12 against the Spurs) Gasol-Lakers.
Phil, he's a tool.
Spurs will be too tough for the Lakers to come close to beating.
What the do you think Phil did with the best player ever in Jordan, or Shaq in his prime WITH Kobe approaching his prime. Are you that stupid??? Are you???
ing idiot, if any coach has ridden coattails to championships, its Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson is 3-1 against Pop in the playoffs. The only reason a series between LAL and SAS would be compe ive is because Bynum won't be there.
A healthy, integrated, gelled Laker team consisting of Bynum, Pau, Kobe, Odom, and Fish will beat anything the Spurs put on the floor until Kobe/Pau/Odom are out of their prime. If the Lakers can rise to the #1 spot in the WC with the lineup they have on the floor now, they will only be that much better than the rest of the league when they get their starting center and best perimeter defender back. Too talented, too deep, too well coached.
Pop knows this is his last shot at a ring with the Spurs. He wants to solidify his legacy and finally get the repeat that has so eluded him. Thus, it should be no surprise that he is pulling every rabbit out of the hat he can.
how come this bag always open his mouth not crediting the spurs when ever we win, tactics are tactics, a win is a win, i seriously hope we meet his bag fakers in the western conference finals to sweep his fakers team 4-0 so they can go fishing and see kobe cry again on national television, epic failure.
Damn cheaters!
Agreed with mostly everything you said outside of the first thing you posted. You seriously are saying Bynum's abscence is the only reason why the Spurs would even compete against the Lakers in a 7 game series? I dont even mind if you say the Spurs cant beat a fully healthy lakers team 4 times, but saying they wouldnt even compete is being biased in an unrealistic manner. Of course deep down inside you KNOW that isnt true. If you deny that then you are lying to yourself.
Because this (D&C) is a troll. Nothing more, nothing less......
That rabbit's gonna take a crap on your home court.
I'm sorry I just don't think the series would be compe ive at all if Bynum were anchoring the paint and we had Ariza to use as our own "Bruce Bowen" to give Kobe rest on defense. We'd have enough defenders to slow down Manu and Duncan, and Parker would certainly have a of a time trying to score in the paint against 3 seven footers. Our offense is more versatile and harder to defend than the Suns, and we'd have a distinct rebounding advantage with three 7 footers crashing the boards constantly. I just don't see how SAS could manufacture enough pts to keep pace with LA.
The Suns lost because they couldn't defend SAS, they couldn't make SAS rely on their bench to produce. Any team that can do that has an excellent chance at beating the Spurs. The fact that the Spurs big 3 averaged 80+ pts against the Suns says it all.
You are lying to yourself again dazed.
It's not a good habit to be in denial about that. Deep down under all that Laker pride you know it wouldnt go that way.
1999 and 2003 - that's twice (maybe i'm wrong; can't remember clearly)
and last year Phil obviously wasn't able to survive to meet with Spurs in the conf semi.
God bless him
In any series, nobody owns the paint like Tim Duncan. If you don't know that by now, you don't watch the basketball.
