you know what i find funny about phil jackson's gripes? I did not see him get that animated during the game. Granted i was watching on tv, and perhaps it was not shown, but during the game, he was not all that mad. then after the game, he looks at the stats, see some guy named powe who he apparently never heard of, dominate, and all of a sudden, he is mad.
Phil Jackson is a smart man. he knows how to use the media to push what is best for his team. this is what he has done. i am not saying he had no gripes on sunday. i think some calls did go the c's way. but when you get all over refs early, like kobe did, the refs will either kis your behind because they are intimidated, or they will go the other way and stick it to you.
the lakers got the short end of the stick sunday, but i would be shocked if it was not made up for, and then some, this evening. salvatore may simply come out wearing a kobe jersey to eliminate all doubt.
