you're throwing out the fact that he wasnt always the coach he is today. he made some mistakes in the past and learned from them. and you cant just say the reffing against him is an excuse. you are not going to win often, when you have to go up against the best players ever (Jordan, Kobe, Shaq) who get all the calls and phantom ones or no calls. honestly, i find it amazing when he does win with this team. i dont think phil jackson could win as many games with this team.
Not sure why you are so surprised, just because I disagree with you about Battier, doesnt mean I disagree about everything. This is the first time I even remember you talking about something other than him tbh. I think it was you who asked me what would the "right player" be for giving up Battier....AI is that type of guy. Id still rather toss in Andersen or Ariza into the deal first though.
Yes, Odom made me grind my teeth all night. We just had nothing to really stop that big fella...man I miss having Yao in the middle. BTW - your name - are you referring to trading for Rudy Gay, or are you really gay for Battier? I'm just asking.....
