yes, lebron's 18 points (combined) in the 4th qtr were paltry, but the miami coach did not do ANYTHING to counter the mav's head coaches tactical moves. The Heat had the talent to win THIS YEAR, they got NOTHING creative from the coach. Phil would be perfect. Bron is not going to run over him nor is he not NOT going to adjust his game to fit phil's philosophy.
as far as pat and phil not getting along. phil and the Lakers owner did not like each other. Phil was bang'n his daughter and punk'n him in the press. The owner wanted to win more than not win.
pay's rep and name is on the line. he is NOT the EGO TYRANT" Jerry Jones. If Pat wants to win, repeatedly, he will sign phil in July. Phil will give all those dude zen books to read, bring in championship vets to change the mind frame from this series loss and he will also be able to DEMAND excellence from LeBron. Spo gets NATHAN from that dude. Bosh, who I initially joked, will actually have more touches and they will finally have a REAL half court game. The floor spacing should be greatly improved for more diverse scoring opportunities.
Phil is an ego maniac. Rings with three teams as a coach would titillate that fool. He won't care about Pat unless he tries to get in the way of his coaching style. Pull that trigger Pat!!
