Here's what Phil had to say 2 years ago -
That's a look into the mind of the person you're saying would be coaching against the best shooting team of all time. He said that, rhen a few weeks later the 4 best shooting teams were left in the playoffs, with the two best playing in the finals.
Phil would stick with the triangle, just like he did when the Pistons were killing them guarding Shaq without help, he had no counter to that when the opposing team just decided "fukk it, we can guard everyone else, no double for Shaq".
