i could barely watch last nights game. It was such a kobe suck off by the announcers it was disgusting:

Misses a shot: "oh, his ankle must be killing him"

Makes a shot: "oh baby, that ankle is just fine"

Misses a shot: "oh, he's such a warrior"

Makes a shot: "oh, he's impervious to pain"

etc etc etc

Andrew Bynum just did one of the biggest punk moves of all time to JJ Berea. Anyone who trades for this clown deserves what they get. Let the Lakers keep him.

:meh: I don't think it matters too much. He still the best coach throughout NBA history. If nothing more, the Mavs series shows how old the Lakers stars are. At least, that's how I see it.

I buy into the stock that Red built most of his own teams and Phil got pretty lucky with having 3 of greatest players entering their prime when he started with each team.

hell, for that matter, i'd probably put Wooden above Phil as well. Although Wooden had a lot of shady deals going on back then that nobody ever talks about.

Six of Wooden's championships came with two of the best college basketball players of all time. The talent on Auerbach's teams were pretty ridiculous as well.

At some point, talent on a team shouldn't be held against a coach. 11 titles is that point in my opinion. But I can't really argue with any of the three being discussed, there is no wrong answer. Phil also coached the Bulls to 55 wins and the second round of the playoffs when Jordan wasn't on the team (I think).

I don't see how it relates to coaching. It's recruiting, and it's very important, but I'm not going to hold it against Phil that he couldn't recruit two all-time greats to his teams. He already had them.

If we were comparing three college coaches, I'd agree.

(I hope I'm not sounding confrontational, like I said - no wrong answer here)
