Re: [NBA] Official Nba Finals 2009 thread Lakers Vs Magic
I simply dunno...people can't accept the fact that Lakers won 4 out of 5 games in the Finals and yet they're still not the better team in some people's eyes.
"Better team when they're on?" I don't think so. You take Lakers best game and Magic best game and Lakers will still win by double digits.
Game 5 Magic came out strong and almost lead by double digits and yet they lost by double digits too.
Wehn Magic won in Game 3, they played the best game of their lives...setting a record for FG percentage and yet they almost lost to Lakers who played poorly. |

Now I think he's cooiking up another one. Good call, I never came back to the thread? I am 3 posts up from you on the same day even.
I clearly said also on page 1, they are the better team when they are on. They were simply not on. They played horrible and barely lost 3 of the games. Only "blown out" in 2 of the 5 games.

said by anwgo153 :finally! Kobe wins that 4th ring! From the 1/1/2 games that I watched he looked like a man on a mission...driven to excel....he wasn't about to take any prisoners or allow his teammates to slack off.
Good to see someone win who really really wanted to win! |

I think there were 2 OTs, and the Magic won a game. So its not like it was a walk in the park for the Lakers. People often forget that stuff when they look back at the 4-1 talley.
They were def the team that wanted it the most though. Congrats Lakers.

said by hardflip :And it's true, Phil Jackson doesn't even attempt to put up a facade of coaching this team, every time they show the Lakers in a huddle during a timeout he's not even in the shot. In Spike Lee's Documentary on Kobe (Kobe Doin Work), Kobe goes on to explain that he always addresses the team first with what he thinks they should do. The guy works extremely hard for his knowledge for the game, so he's earned his right to talk in the eyes of the team.

said by sailor :Where is Phil Jackson sitting...in the stands? I mean I realize Kobe actually coaches the team but Phil doesn't need to sit with the fans. You have to keep in mind that Phil does all is coaching during practices; and he's done this since Jordan.
During the games he trust his players to perform what they learn during practice. The only time you still Phil up and coaching is when his team really fucks up. I forgot which game it was during this series but he got on Odom's ass for dumbass foul he committed in the game.

A disappointing end to the series. The semi finals were great - i wish the finals were 2 sided.

Crappy series, Orlando never came to play.
I thought they would at least put up a good effort in Game 5 so the Lakers weren't celebrating on their home court...
And it's true, Phil Jackson doesn't even attempt to put up a facade of coaching this team, every time they show the Lakers in a huddle during a timeout he's not even in the shot.
