"You don't smoke peyote"

I knew Phil would say that. As far as I know (from reading Castaneda) you actually chew peyote. :man10:

thank you Phil. Too bad it wasn't meant to be this year.

I will incredibly miss you.

Maybe, or it was simply too difficult to keep the guys focused and motivated. We have a lot of veterans and they have rings already. They are not hungry. I can (kind of) understand that.

Damn this is sad to see oh well. I appreciate the guy so much he really made his mark. I'd weep if he comes out of retirement to another team I swear I'd weep.

Thanks Coach! Have a relaxing, wonderful and lovely retirement.
Nor can the Lakers get blamed for always making the right decisions over decades. At some point its not just luck or "gamble", its superior management and superior ownership.

It's tough for one single coach to keep the team consistent and motivated, especially for today's NBA. Just look at Jerry Sloan leaving the Jazz franchise. That's all you need to know.

Hard to imagine him playing for another coach (05 season aside).

Phil was too old to coach well this season.

As a Laker fans, it's either total joy or total letdown. :man6:

Thanks Phil.

I suppose that explain part of Gasol's problem.

My take is the Lakers were getting the usual handicapping from the refs, but with Kobe injured and Pau not up to the challenge, it resulted in a sweep.
