 Re: LA Lakers Jan 31 7:30 PM
These comments are right on the money Quote:
The other thing that I noticed is that maybe, just maybe, Flip Saunders isn’t as bad of an in-game coach as people make him out to be. If we’re going to rip him when he fails, we have to praise him when he succeeds. And in the final minute, the Pistons ran a brilliant offensive set that led to not one but two WIDE open three tries.
Then they had a defense in place that forced an air ball on the Lakers final possession. Credit the players for executing it (particularly Chauncey Billups), but let’s give a little bit of run to Flip. He was, after all, coaching against Phil Jackson. Amazing that Flip could win such a match-up. | But he did.  |
