shirish broda i tottally agree with ya . Phille is highly over rated coac. With micheal then Shaq and Kobe I think Van gundy would be weighing his nine fingers . With world class player like kobe Phille couldnt even make playoffs after Shaq departed . I dont have any respect for Phille and kobe .

Magic always said time and time again its Kareems team when he played for LA LA land . Kobe always have difficulty to say that .

Recipie for todays championship team

One superstar player, two allstar caliber player, two veterans, one great one on one defender and spot on shooter, two energetic rookies or sophomore. Defensive Mentality assistant coach and The coach who earns respects not demand.

Shirish Broda thx for letting my feelings to be expressed .  Go Celtics
