It was supposed to be the biggest mismatch of the series. Basketball guru, master motivator and 9-time NBA champion Phil Jackson versus Doc "I have no set rotation" Rivers. Now that the Celtics have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, ol' Phil can reach into his bag of tricks and start outcoaching Doc. Go ahead, make your move, the whole world is waiting. What's that, you got nothing? Pau Gasol has disappeared in the second half of both games and there is nothing you can do? Last night you said Lamar Odom looked confused. Can you use some of that zen-bullshit to set him straight? Here's one thing you can do; take Vladimir Radmanovic off Paul Pierce. The boy is getting killed out there. I swear he's fouling Pierce on purpose just to grab a seat on the bench. Leon Powe embarrassed your entire team. A 24-year-old, second round pick with a bum knee outworked, outhustled and outplayed everyone in purple-and-gold. How's that possible with the Great Jacko behind the bench? Could you diagram some type of defense to stop that man? (Maybe this analysis will help) Kobe Bryant can't get to the hoop because of the Celtics stifling team defense. Can you wake up Tex Winter and draw up some special rectangle play? Do something, anything.
