^^Look at who you named as the players who know the triangle...Luke and Cook.......Now compare that to Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli, and there is your answer for why Popovich has had an easier time than PJ in the past couple years. Stil PJ >>>>> Popovich...PeACe

Man Popovich doesn't need players who knows how to play triangle. It's easier. He built the team around Duncan, Bowen and Horry. And he added Tony Parker and Ginobili, two extremely talentuous players. Phil built the team around Kobe and Phil, and the triangle. And he have role players like Walton and Cook. To make a dynasty using the triangle is harder.


You're missing the point. Popovich has the pieces he needs...Phil doesn't. That's what it comes down to...NOT Popovich being a better coach, like you made it seem...PeACe

I'll never argue against Phil Jackson as a coach, because success speaks louder than anything else.    However, the argument you make about  Phil not needing the pieces to win is BULLSHIT. 

What has Phil Jackson won without:  a)  the best player ever
                                                    b)  the most dominant center ever
                                                    c)  a dude that COULD be the 2nd coming of Jordan if he had a clue


And don't give me any of this first round bullshit.  When you speak of WINNING, you gotta AT LEAST be talkinf a couple of rounds. You yourself thought the Lakers were fine this year, even had a shot at the title, yet they tanked at the end of the year, and thensucked in the playoffs!  So, what the fuck has Phil won without a stacked team?


What the fuck has ANY coach won that mattered without some great pieces? That's the point I'm making...Phil has been doing the max with the pieces he's been given. I doubt if Popovich gets these Lakers in the playoffs 2 years straight.
