The little fella sure knows how to make an entrance. I guess he's proven to everyone that he's back and 100% healthy.

Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson have something going in Los Angeles. I may have underated this team. Jackson is indeed a difference maker, a coach that the players have to listen to and respect.

Gee I wish I could say I gave a crap but I don't cuz this is a Cavs site and not a Bucks site.

So, back to the topic of talking about the NBA, in the NBA forum...

I'm impressed. TJ Ford put up great numbers to begin. Quite frankly he deserved it: he proved to be the best man on one of the top teams in the East, going 3-0.

Kobe Bryant got his groove back. How long can it last, though? How long will it be until chemistry problems start knocking on the door? But 36.3 ppg... that's just monstrous.

I think Phil Jackson would love to stick it to Red Auerbach one last time before the old guy checks out. They have this high level pissing match going on over who's the greater coach.

Not only is Bryant playing like Bryant, but you have to give Phil credit for the play of guys like Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, and even Kwame Brown is making a contribution. Lamar Odom at the point is another great coaching move. LO is pretty tough to contain when he has the ball in his hands. If the Lakers make the playoffs, Phil has to get consideration for COY. I'm keeping my eye on them because I've always been a guy that hasn't given Phil Jackson credit.
