"We Want Phil" chant goes up in Staples Center

 

[HailBlazers]

Phil Doesn't Want LA is the problem. He only messes around with the very best lineups, this Laker team has some superstars for sure but they're pretty thin after that.

 

[illmatic99]

Rick Adelman is a fuckin genius.

The Suns have a pretty good back up PG....... 18/3/2 in 21 minutes. Some guy named Patrick Mills.

Kobe is making it pretty clear he wants Phil Jackson to be the Lakers next coach.

Patty Mills doesn't play for the Suns. We never should've cut him.

 

[THE HCP]

Meant the Spurs. But thankyou for taking the time to correct me....... because you knew I actually thought he was on the SUNS right? I'm that dumb when it comes to professional basketball. Thanks again.

 

[handiman]

10 pts and 4 rebounds for the MAXed out Hibbert!

That's why I was so strongly against signing him. He'll look great some games and nearly invisible others. (Batum, anyone?) That's not a guy you build your franchise around.

Best thing about the Laker coach search is everyone referring to Nate McMillan as a "defensive coach." I'll wait here while you find proof.

Lakers are moving quickly to hire Phil Jackson, one person in the organization calling it "95%" sure PJ's the next coach of the Lakers.

 

[THE HCP]

Crazy!

Blazers starting 5 is the best in nba scoring wise. The bench is the worst.

[illmatic99]

Suspended for talking to an announcer? WTF. Guess they really wanted to give LA a win.

 

[THE HCP]

He'll miss the game against us as well.

 

[PapaG]

He'll miss the game against us as well.

That's too bad, but not a surprise. BRoy looks like a scrub these days.

Thanks for serving in the military, HCP. Saw your post on FB and told you that there as well!
