Am I the only person who just stares at Maxiell whenever he's in the game? You just gotta love how he pursues the ball. Every single time we get a stop, he hauls ass down the floor at full sprint. Even when he's being ignored on offense, he's fighting for position, finding open spots on the floor, or he's looking for lanes to go running in after an offensive board. Even though, by nature, you're not going to get the right bounce a lot of the time, he still goes after everything.

And that 50 seconds of Amir seemed more like an insult than anything.

It appears to me that he will never play in the rotation as long as Flipper is coach.

Afflalo's jumper still looks smooth. The line-up of Billups/Afflalo/Sheed/Max/Tay was our best defensively by far.

Amir shows great post moves, and when we were up 15 in the 2nd quarter still couldn't get any time. The starters slacked, but still played big min. Games are becoming really frustrating to watch. I think i need a break.

The coach is ruining my enjoyment of the team. I find myself watching Lakers games, and being in awe of how Phil Jackson used his bench, and how he recognizes the value of Trevor Ariza even though he can't score when no one is guarding him.

Right on. My sentiments exactly.

There is a reason that Jackson has all of those rings and Flipper has zero, and it wasn't just because of Pippen, Michael, Shaq and Kobe though they helped a bit? LOL

i think any of us would have had 3-4 rings coaching the bulls and i was never impressed with his coaching then or with the shaq lakers, but since he's been given a one star kobe team the last few years he has impressed me with his coaching and the trust he seems to give his bench players.

Can't win a ring until you can win game six or seven of a conference finals and so far Flip is 0-3 in the category failing to win game six in 04, 06, and 07
