said by sailor :just wondering out loud here if any players from either team have retired while we wait for the next game. No, but several players got married, had children who eventually graduated from college and will be attending the next game.

| Great call by chillin... The "better team" The Orlando Magic got blown out not once but twice and lost 4-1... kinda sad when they were the "better" team...

1 edit | reply to fatness 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.

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. -- I'm a guy with simple taste. I enjoy dynamite, gun powder and gasoline... |

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.
After Kobe addresses the team, Phil comes in with a few nitpicky details and depending on the situation, will draw up a play. |

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. -- Graphic Disorder |
