Boo Hoo: Phillip the Zen Genius sobbing uncontrollably

[CoachBo]

Dirty rotten referees.

 

Hey, Feng Shui Master. You got your posteriors whipped - again - for three quarters.

You might want to see if Gas and Oil and the Incredible Disappearing Odom can be convinced to actually play a possession or two of defense.

Now, go home and rearrange your lamps, Genius.

Blaming the refs. Can't he admit, one of the Celtics bench players (Leon Powe) absolutely outplayed the entire Laker team. Shut up with the blaming the ref Zen Magic!

2 down 2 more to go!

[Roy Hobbs]

Mentally weak.  I can't believe the whining and excuse making come from the Lakers, starting with their coach.

[Evantime34]

BOO HOO making your first comment about how Leon Took more foul shots than his entire team. Maybe your team should go to the hole more. A ton of fouls were called on the Celtics but almost none of them were shooting fouls because no one was going to the bucket. You lost because your team did absolutely nothing throughout the first 3 three quarters.

[DannyZ]

The only really terrible calls I saw were Kobe's offensive foul on Ray for pushing off and the call on Powe for a clean strip on Fisher.

[CoachBo]

You know, as a coach I'd like to be totally hacked off about the last half of the fourth quarter.

But it's hard not to just brim over with confidence listening to this alleged genius and his refusal to confront the facts of the first two games.

Keep crying, Phillip.

[PerkinsERA43]

hey Phil-- you get to the line more when you actually take the ball into the paint, FYI.

Radmanovic traveled!

Radmanovic traveled!

he took enough steps to travel twice.

[DannyZ]

The Lakers are just not that good defensively.  Which specific fouls is he complaining about?  All of Powe's fouls were legit.  He took it strong and they fouled him.

[RebusRankin]

Phil Jackson has always complained about refs after losses. Its one of his Zen Master tricks. Somebody in the media will applaud him for doing so because apparently its part of a well rounded coaching strategy. He has been doing this since I was in junior high. If it was me I'd work on things like playing better defense and rebounding better but what do I know? I don't get paid ten million a year to coach.

[CoachBo]

Defense is the key point in this series, and it's why we're going to win it.

WHEN WE PLAY HARD, we're a great defensive team. The Lakers are a bad defensive team. HUGE defensive differential between the two teams, and it's going to put another banner in the Gahden.

[Nerf MVP]

Phil's so bitter he could write a book right now.

[RebusRankin]

Radmanovic traveled!

Redz, you just proved Phil's point, the refs were bad tonight.

He may have done it alot in the past but being down 2-0 it just seems pathetic and futile. Blaming the refs when you are down by over 20 is ridiculous.  It seems to be taking off the focus for what is really the problem with the lakers. Yelling at the refs is not going to fix those problems.
