I have been watching the Spurs-Lakers game tonight and although I don't like the Spurs that much, I am for the Spurs, because I really cannot stand Phil Jackson and that whole Lakers team. I was wondering why the Spurs don't play Hack-a-Shaq a lot more...they should throw guys like Rose, Ferry, even Kerr at Shaq to foul him and get him to the free-throw line. Maybe then they would have a chance. I am missing the fighting spirit from them...especially Duncan looks so passive, very strange.
Hack a Shaq would work if the Lakers didn't have an equally unstoppable player in Kobe. What was his stat line tonight? 36-8-9? This guy is amazing. I think he is more responsible for the Lakers long streak of victories than anyone else on the team... Personally, I don't think he really likes the situation he has there with Shaq, but the guy has a drive to championships, and for that reason, he is willing to step everything up and play within the Laker offense during the postseason. Though I am sure that Phillip Zen Master Jackson would love to take credit for Kobe's maturation. Yeah, it must have been when you accused him of tanking high school games, Phillip, that's what made him throw the switch. ------------------ "I'm just a poster, and I want a piece of everyone's ass."
