We're seeing how he reacts to getting dominated; running away to retirement.

Really? That's your opinion of the man who is arguably the greatest coach in the game? Coaching a superstar does not make a championship team...

You have to learn to ignore his posts.

Live by the 3, die by the 3. I love Jason Terry.

Can't say I saw a sweep coming, but after game 3 I would've been surprised if the Lakers showed up tonight.

Lakers down, Miami to go. I don't see Boston beating them, but I hope like hell they don't win the championship.

Isiah Thomas could've coached MJ and Kobe to victory.

Phil decided to retire at the beginning of the season, so the latest antics of the lakers are post that particular decision.

As much as I dislike the Lakers, I'm surprised by their lack of sportsmanship. They came into the game knowing their chance of winning the series was slim to none.

I guess I should've mentioned the supporting cast MJ and Kobe had.

Lebron didn't have a Pippen or a Kukoc. And he certainly didn't have a Shaq or Gasol/Bynum.

MJ and Kobe both had 2-3 players they could depend on.

No one can honestly compare Lebron's Cavaliers to any of the teams Phil Jackson has coached...

122-86 final.
