Solid Job By Jim Cleamons

I gotta say, JC really stepped up tonight with that 3rd quarter pep-talk about defense. Great fill-in in the absence of PJ. Kobe played very well down the stretch too and that steal put the game away. Big up to Jim Cleamons!

I dunno, I wasn't all that impressed with Jim Cleamon's coaching job... I mean they pulled out the victory and all... but he was leaving starters out at crucial times, the main reason why they got behind by 16 at one point. His substitutions were a little strange. I mean, you know it's not going well when Kobe begins to sub himself into the game. Hopefully, Phil will be back for Game 5, and if not, JC will make some adjustments.

A win is a win.

And Jim did good enough to get that win. Which is all we can ask for.

But you will never replace the greatest (winningest) coach in NBA history.
Jimmy will never live up to a legendary coach like Phil.

So, thanks Jim for holding the fort, but I can't wait to have Phil back!!!!

Yea!! It was a wonderful game, and even how he handled himself in the press conference... He really did his thang...

he did a great job!
