and as a phil jackson admirer i have to say i'm disappointed with col. sanders so far. he's been outcoached by tom thibodeau, whose defensive schemes have been superb. tom's been turning kobe into his old self, trying to take over and going away from the offense.
Boston is excellent in rotating whenever a double team comes up. So far, they have taken away the easy baskets on inside passes. Yan ang nawala sa Laker offense. And thats where Odom and Gasol used to have bunches of their points.
About Simmons naman, die hard Boston fan talaga yan. Mapa Red Sox or Patriots.
I do agree with him though that the Staple crowd is pretty lifeless. Kahit naman nung 80s ganun na eh. Di talaga boisterous compared to other crowd, like in Boston, Utah or Phoenix. Halos raw kasi ng tao dun naka Botox, kaya di makasigaw........sabi naman ng iba, sanay na raw sa Finals games kaya di na raw gaano excited. At sabi rin ng iba, napakamahal raw ng ticket, wala raw yung mga ordinary joes among the crowd. Puro stiff-faced executives.
Sa Boston, talagang magiging hyper mga fans dun. 20 years na silang gutom sa Finals eh.
