even if its in the east

we're talking about kobe/phil lead teams vs pop/duncanYou guys beat em 4 out of 7 times in the last 15 years in the playoffs. Don't forget to mention that miracle 0.4 second D Fish shot that turned one of the series in the Lakers favor. I might be off a series or two off but I wouldn't call 4 out of 7 a cake walk.no, to try and argue that they are the best organization in the NBA in the past 15 years is laughable
the blazers, kings, celtics, suns all put up way more of a fight than the spurs did
its also funny when people compare pop to phil, the difference between phil and pop is about the same as the difference between pop and dantoni. not even close
So who do you believe has been 2nd best in the NBA after the Lakers? Detroit? Dallas? Miami?
okc was better than miami?Every single EC team since Jordans last three peat Bulls, besides the Celtics, have been the weaker team in the finals.
We went over this before, Phil is great but I believe he's never coached without a first All-NBA selection and most of the time, he coached 2 or 3 All NBA players at a time
okc was better than miami?Every single EC team since Jordans last three peat Bulls, besides the Celtics, have been the weaker team in the finals.
yes, we swept them in 01Has pop ever got swept? As a defending champ?
yes, we swept them in 01
the competition has always been in the west, and the spurs have only won during la's down years while the lakers have man handled them when at the top of their game.I meant to say since the Heat. Bulls, Celtics, Heat. Besides that the West usually straight dominates.okc was better than miami?Every single EC team since Jordans last three peat Bulls, besides the Celtics, have been the weaker team in the finals.
Hence, agreeing that 5 of Kobes/Shaqs championships were against much weaker competition. So you cant bring up the Spurs and not bring up the Lakers.
No one was stopping Shaq. Most dominant player ever imo.
yup.No one was stopping Shaq. Most dominant player ever imo.
phil's had good teams but he's also always gotten the most out of his teams every year in the playoffs, other than the two rebuilding years when it was pretty much just kobe carrying the team in 06-07 every phil jackson team has either won the championship or lost to the team that made the finals and/or won the championship.We went over this before, Phil is great but I believe he's never coached without a first All-NBA selection and most of the time, he coached 2 or 3 All NBA players at a time
thats 20 years of basketball, phil jackson's contenders have never lost to a team that has failed to make the finals
the spurs on the otherhand have lost to lower seeds in the first round twice in the past 5 years. they had a free title last year but pop didnt put duncan in to get that rebound and pretty much threw the game and series.
phil is 18 wins 8 losses and 4-1 in series vs pop
yup.
kobe averaged 33.3 7 and 7 on 51.4% shooting in that series where we swept the spurs too :x
does tim duncan not exist anymore?Again Phil coached a first team All-NBA player every year of his 20 year NBA careerphil's had good teams but he's also always gotten the most out of his teams every year in the playoffs, other than the two rebuilding years when it was pretty much just kobe carrying the team in 06-07 every phil jackson team has either won the championship or lost to the team that made the finals and/or won the championship.We went over this before, Phil is great but I believe he's never coached without a first All-NBA selection and most of the time, he coached 2 or 3 All NBA players at a time

Do you realize that means coaching one of the top 5 players in the NBA.....EVERY YEAR
4 years, he coached 2 first team All-NBA players
That's a huge advantage over every other NBA coach all time
And that was after he destroyed Sacramento in similar fashion in the previous roundyup.
