I am trying to find out what’s Phil Jackson's record when his team splits the first two games at home.  I wonder how impressive his record is then.  I am trying to do this by memory but can’t remember....but I can guarantee you it isn’t all that great.

Heck, for all we know it could be 0-2 when PJackson splits games at home.

Kudos to the Cs for making history as we go…..

Breaking that record will be like icing on the cake.

And after Boston wins.  Phil will leave and that will be the 3rd franchise ruined by the C's during these playoffs.

Cavs
Orlando
LA

Little Fockers 1.5/10
Gulliver's Travels 1/10
Grown Ups -20/10
Tron Legacy 6.5/10

We didn't really ruin the Magic franchise lol. They still have everyone locked up. We may of helped them. As they will see VC sucks.

Wade could very well leave MIA, that would ruin that franchise.

MIA and LAL will continue on (with or without Phil in LAL case). But we would have shaken things up. ORL has got to be worried about their approach. If Phil leaves LAL will be shaken up.

I had discussed this with my friend before game 1, and the 47-0 statistic, while great, is overblown.

Let me put it another way:  Of the 5 or so times that Phil Jackson has been knocked out of the playoffs, he lost the first game.  

My point is that while impressive, it isn't THAT unimaginable for him to lose a series (especially this series) if he wins the first game.  

Also, TP birdbrain, because I had been thinking the same thing about how sweet it'd be to win AND break his streak.  We've already given the Lakers their first home loss this playoffs, let's keep adding to it.

I'm not so sure we ruined Miami so much as accelerated their plans to rebuild around Wade.  Cleveland is definitely ruined b/c of us, as well as the perception of Lebron (to a degree).  

In regards to Orlando, I can assure that there is a lot of second guessing going on with them now.  I think they realize that what they have isn't good enough to win it all, which is why years ago I had called the Rashard Lewis contract the "worst contract in the NBA."  They had a very good center tied up and lots of cap space... primed to build a championship team... and they blew it on Rashard Lewis.  The year of his contract he wasn't even the best player on the Sonics... Ray Allen was!   I live an hour from Orlando, so I hear the rumblings :)
