Ive always notice Phil Jackson calls the most random timeouts, and has always been criticized for not interacting much with the players during the timout, but I was at the game today and man it seemed like Phil did not care much about the game today. As soon as the timeouts would be over, Phil would huddle around the team and either say some quick words or draw up a play giving the Lakers seconds to think about it. I never understood his decision making with timeouts, but then again Im not a coach, but I feel like it costs the Lakers games like this due to Phil's inability to interact and pump up the team....

yeah, ive heard those arguments before. i cant actually gauge whether or not they are correct.

but for one thing, THE BOBCATS?? this is truly upsetting.

Don't even blame this on Phil it was all the team being lazy not playing defense and not taking it to the rim for easy buckets.

LOL, mike D'antoni got mad just for the random timeouts. Remember??? "go sit down".

They played D from what I saw the Bobcats were just hot. They was 2 parts of D they lacked which was the shotblocker (not there fault Bynum is hurt) and a lock down wing which did make me wonder why Newble was not in the game. He should have been on J-Rich or is he hurt or something?

He's very articulate. I promise you, he'll always see things we don't.
