Nuggets 106, Lakers 103 in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
And immediately sticking out to me....the Hall of Fame Coach Formerly Known as Phil Jackson on the Lakers sidelines.
Over the last 30 seconds, Phillip
-Did not protest what should have been a violation by J.R. Smith cutting behind the jump circle before a jump ball between Chauncey Billups and Pau Gasol was finished. Gasol outjumped Billups of course, but the Lakers coughed it up trying to nab the ball. Had the violation been called, L.A. would have inbounded from the sidelines.
-Down by 4, he did not advance the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt despite calling a timeout.
-On the final play, seemed to use Kobe as a decoy, and instead had Derek Fisher, of all players, flash to the wing and take the 3. Suffice to say, it came closer to Jack Nicholson than the basket.
I guess when you have nine rings, you can pull off the feat of retirement, even when it appears to the naked eye that you are at least coaching.
