Man some things are really strange. Turiaf and Bynum out the rotation, Jim Jackson who has just collected a total of 5 minutes of playing time in 4 games (with George out and with Vujacic playing more than him), Brown starting from the bench again (but he's playing pretty well), Vujacic averaging 20 minutes per game.. I ain't doubting Phil, but i can't understand those moves. I need Phil to explain me those moves sometimes, maybe in his next book.

Bynum played last game. But for some reason Phil decided to play him in the 4th quarter of a pivitol game. But yeah, some of the stuff Phil does proves he isn't the perfect coach if ever there is one. But it is the closing of the season and the Lakers are on the edge of 6th seed and droping below 8th. He's only trusting his vetrens who know the triangle right now.

I'm not saying he ain't perfect. I mean those aren't exactly "mistakes", but it's just Phil who wants to do this thing. It's very Zen. lol. I can't understand him.
7even:
^Christ. He's just a coach who does retarded stuff like anyone else. Please!!
wcsoldier:
1) No D , outside a a few games , we don"t defend well til 2 months
2) Kobe needs to stop shooting the 3 when he's cold and especially on the last possession of each quarter of each game The only negative thing in his game this season is that he keeps going shooting outside when he's cold instead of driving to the hoop
3) A postive thing , Lamar is playing very consistent right now
4) Phil needs to give Turiaf more minutes coz he has already proven he can play efficiency in the triangle

You guys don't know what you're talking about...Phil uses strange techniques that even boggle my mind sometimes, but he looks at the game from a psychological stand-point, we can't question his greatness...I'm completely in disagreement with his decision to place Bynum in during the 4th quarter of a crucial/close game, when Bynum hasn't seen minutes outside of garbage time for months...But who am I to question the Zen Master's techniques? He's mastered the game, he knows what he's doing...He's probably tryna get Jim Jackson and Turiaf prepared for the playoffs, watching the game from the bench makes it easier to learn and grasp the triangle offense. There is no doubt in my mind that Jim Jackson will be seeing his share of minutes come playoff time...Also, with that, Sasha and Luke are getting very helpful on-court experience, which will be a major contribution in the long run. All that, and we're still in great position to grab a hold of the 6th seed...Phil is unquestionable, though his decisions tend to come off as weird at times...PeACe

I made it clear i wasn't questioning his greatness as a coach.. how could I? I simply said i need him to explain me the reasons behind those decisions, cause they aren't "logical" from a tecnical point of view. You talked about controlling the team psychologically? That's a reason, yeah. But it's in his mind, not in mine. I'm very rational, i ain't Zen.
