Interesting tidbits from this article http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--fo...094336411.html
".....the biggest issue Lakers vice president Jim Buss had with choosing Phil Jackson over Mike D'Antoni as head coach centered on the consequences for Steve Nash. With no use for this point guard in the triangle offense, Buss's fear was that Jackson would've pushed to move Nash out, sources said. Buss passed on the Lakers' glorious championship legacy to attach his franchise to the desert mirage of D'Antoni and Nash, a reunion tour born of a one-dimensional, gimmick offense and a point guard pushing 39 years old. "The way this turns out," one league source connected to the hiring process said, "you've chosen not only Steve Nash over [Pau] Gasol, but maybe over Gasol and Dwight [Howard]." Under Jackson, the Lakers would've played through Gasol, Howard and Bryant in the post, would've dictated terms through the strengths of the franchise's Hall of Fame players. Under Jackson, the Lakers would've had a leader of men to gather them out of this rubble. In the end, D'Antoni is a coach who fundamentally doesn't believe in post play, who sees franchise centers as intrusive cloggers of the lane." |

It is going to be a tough road in Lakerville for a while I am afraid.

All of MJ's playing days have to count... You can't just ignore his days with Washington just to make your point valid.

The NBA protected Jordan as much as it could from any media back lashing, no one was allowed to talk bad about Jordan while he was still in the NBA. It's much easier to trust and believe in someone when no one ever talks bad about him. In my opinion if Jordan had to go through the same type of criticism that players go through today he would be looked at quite differently. |

He did get allot of calls, help from the refs, but allot of that had to do with the refs loving him looking up to him, Jordan comanded respect from all who played with him and against him, that was his calling he was born to do exactly that, dude had a major competitive ego one that most encluding myself would have a problem with, he controlled the game in away you can't put on stats |

I think Kobe is starting to realize he can't win games on his own.
Considering how competitive the west is, Lakers need to win 30 games and lose 8 times to be in the 8th seed with 48 wins |

It was a great win. Just hope it isn't a little too late.

It was a great win, but it's just one win.
And their ball handling (13 turnovers) and free throw shooting (16-29) was still horrendous.

There is still plenty of doubt, but if they do make it in, they will be playing good basketball and have quite a roll going so should put up a decent fight against the top seeds. |
