http://cbs2.com/sports/lakers.nuggets.western.2.1019053.html lol Check Phil's postgame, he goes off on the reporters. Usually I'd be on his side, but given his coaching recently, he deserves every bit of heckling he got. He praises Drew btw...
Makes an interesting point though, after Luke got hit in the neck and complained to the ref, he got a tech then three consecutive fouls. Ended up fouling out in 13 minutes. I also liked how he brought up Jones and his foul as well. He's doing mind games with the refs, and might get fined in fact but I am happy he got that out there personally.
I've got major problems with Phil, unfortunately I'm just a fan. He makes absolutely no in game adjustments. He is being completely outcoached by George fucking Karl. George Karl. Come on, Phil. I'm fucking disgusted with his rotations, his hate of Bynum, his man love of Fisher-Sasha-Luke-and Odom. I can't take it anymore. I don't support him. He is terribly overrated and would be no where close to 9 rings if it wasn't for MJ, Shaq, and Kobe. I can't stand his mentality of letting the players play through runs. He can't do that with this group, he hasn't learned from last years' Celtics embarrassment and he will never learn. Yeah, we came out and couldn't grab a rebound. Yeah, it wasn't Phil out on the floor, however, he is the fucking coach and is supposed to make adjustments. Why the fuck Drew sat for as long as he did is beyond me. Denver has absolutely nothing to stop him. If Phil doesn't start relying on Drew, we're going to loose this series. Plain and simple. Get your shit together, Phil.

Although I've been unsatisfied with Phil's coaching I like what he said. The officiating in this years playoffs has been the worst I have ever seen and last night was no different. Like Phil said, during the first quarter they were allowing a ton of contact. Then as soon as the Lakers start to make a run in the 4th they made Carmelo unguardable. There was literally nothing Luke could do besides just get the hell out of Melo's way. The refs suck.
I'll agree that Phil's rotations were wack but I thought he said the right thing as well. It is what the team needed.
The officiating has been awful. The ref's have been technical happy all playoffs and the bias towards the home team has been brutal. How do you not whistle Jones for a flagrant for either of those blatant cheap shots in the last 2 games? I don't care that he got the flagrant afterward. It should have been called in the game, and he should be suspended for what he did last night. The officiating has been AWFUL.
The refs definitely where there were maybe calls, they made a lot more of them for Denver than they did for the Lakers last night.
