Chicago's got energy but they're not big or talented enough to handle Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Bynum, and Artest. Rose at PG is their only superior matchup. Kobe gets his 6th in Chicago and Phil retires with 12th. (also the Triangle offense is never seen again) | ||

I still think Orlando will win. Atlanta made quite a few arsey shots imo and won't be able to sustain it. Thought the Blazers had the Dallas game. Bleh. Wasn't a massive fan of McMillan's rotations: didn't think he used guys like Fernandez and Matthews to great effect. Philly did well to come back but they never looked like winning. | ||

I liked the rashard trade, but not for arenas, they didn't have a lot of choices anyways because not many teams wanted to take rashard's contract. | ||

is he really that good of a coach? or you think it's more just the players he was able to coach? I'm sure there are other coaches in the league that could boast an impressive record like phil if they had the same players as he did | ||

I'm sure there are other coaches in the league that could boast an impressive record like phil if they had the same players as he did I'm no expert, but from what Bill Simmons reports, once a team wins a championship, they have a high chance of being plagued by the "disease of more". Which is that every guy wants more minutes and more money, upsetting the combination of roles and abilities that won the championship in the first place. Phil seems to be very good at getting his teams ready to play every year. So, I would say he's a good coach. Though, would he win 11 championships if were to have coached other teams? Probably not. Some of that is luck. | ||

This is one of the main reasons he and Kobe have butted heads so often. Same with MJ -- he was basically constantly imploring him to trust his teammates. He also has a 'hands off' philosophy, believing that beyond preparing them as much as possible, the players should be allowed to play freely and talk amongst each other to figure things out together (thus also harboring team unity). Both the Lakers and Bulls were championship contenders before Phil, but it took Phil to take them to the top. Also, check out the Lakers' record after Phil left, and then the year he came back. | ||

Simmons always talks about his knee and how much of a shame it is he isn't as explosive anymore, and how amazing it is that hes still so good. People forget he probably should have won an MVP a few years ago. Put CP3's head on Drose's body and you have a 30/10/10/5 guy. | ||

Didn't Simmons recently comment on how he thought Paul's explosiveness was coming back? | ||
