Phil really is tryna sell that book huh?
at flopping playing a part in that L. First of all Shaq got away with way more offensive fouls than he ever got called for. Secondly Shaq was having his way with Wallace down low. As a matter of fact he was the only player who played well offensively in that series. The fact that he didn't get the ball enough, Kobe was throwing up horrendous shots with regularity and was completely ineffective for 4 out of 5 games, none of the role players showed up, putrid defense as a team but Shaq especially, and the Pistons just flat out being a better team were the reasons for the loss, nothing else. Phil is a great coach but the fact that he can never give the other team credit and always has some "bu...bu...but" shyt to say about an L is rather bytchmade.
