Lakers in 5.

Reason #1 None of the "BIG 3" on the Celtics have much playing experience in the playoffs past the first round.

Reason #2 Kobe Bryant

Reason #3 Garnett can't handle pressure

Reason #4 Lakers haven't lost at home in the playoffs yet

Reason #5 I havent really seen the Big 3 play well consistently throughout the playoffs

Those ar all very valid reasons...but I am giving Boston credit for having such a good record and dominating the East all season...but then often that doesn't mean squat in the playoffs..

#1 applies to most of the laker team as well, 'cept kobe.
#2 enough said
#4 celtics have only lost 1 game at home and the lakers only get 3 at home this round

i think the 2-3-2 schedule favors the lakers, if they can steal one in boston. but if it goes back to boston, i think it will go to 7 games.

in other news... flip saunders is out in detriot. you know his name will come up for the suns job, what do you think about that. he has to be the best coach out there now.

[johnnytron]

Flip Saunders was fired from the Pistons.
Do you think the suns should go after him?
He's definitely a worthy candidate for the job.

[johnnytron]

Is there in echo in here?

Sorry dude, I'm half asleep!

Go on....you were saying?

[capharnaum]

flip isn't even gonna get an interview
porter's gonna be your next coach

yeah, the fact that flip can't get out of the conference finals makes him a perfect match for the suns!

i'm willing to bet $1 we don't go with porter or saunders.

my dark horse candidate is tom thibodeau, current celtics assistant.

or perhaps we bring back mark iavaroni.

there. i said it.

porter could end up in detriot now. he is an assistant there. this definately puts a bit of a wrench in suns hiring process.

hahaha, i <3 jesse.

[johnnytron]

For me to poop on!

[The Real Jeffrey Lebowski]

I'd be down with Terry Porter getting the job, especially out of everybody available.

Plus, anyone from the *awesome* Blazers teams of the early 90's is golden in my book.

Swish!

[johnnytron]

Whatever....

I'm just saying that it's good to have all these good coaches to choose from.



Dunk!

all signs are pointing to that porter being our new head coach. kerr said all interviews are done, and dumars wants the other guy (not porter) to be head coach now.

w/e. my expectations are pretty low for next season so they can only (god oh god hopefully) do well w/ a rebuild like this

what rebuild? do the suns have plans to shake up their roster?

if they keep their core intact, it shouldn't be a huge deal.
