Ihaven't bought into anything. I know what I see with my own two eyes. I never said the Sixers were bad. They are one of the scrappiest teams in the NBA. And so far, the Laker defense has been stifling in the playoffs. You mean to tell me that Shaq or Kobe drew it up? Phil Jackson is like Rudy T to me. Jordan left, he didn't have the same firepower so some of his schemes worked different, the same as the Rockets downward spiral a few years back. But back to the topic, you said it yourself. The Lakers just have too many weapons. And the fact that the Bucks-Sixers series is going at least six games doesn't help either team. Mutombo, Iverson, Snow, and McKie better all have a career series. Derek Fisher i believe will not be quite as hot in this series, but the dude literally scorched the Spurs. The man went 15-20 from 3-point land in the series (85 points right there. I want the Sixers to win just as much as everybody else, but I just don't see it happening. Those dayum Lakers are awesome.
And I seriously doubt you could coach that team to a Little League title. Phil got skills. He doesn't play the game for the players, but it's funny how wherever he goes, he turns them into a powerhouse.
