I'm sick of Phil Jackson benching his starters at the start of the fourth quarter, which is the most important part of the game.
Doesn't Phil recognize that his bench has given him nothing the last two games?
But Phil will tell you that he wants his bench players to work through the adversity and that's why he puts trust in them.
Unfortunately, guys like Farmar and Radmanovic have the slightest idea of playing through adversity because they're both the types of players who play really bad basketball when their confidence is down. I've given up on those two in this series because they have shown no signs that they will recover from the onslaught.
Kobe made an effort to do his best, but it is a fact that sometimes your best were not enough, but at any rate he tried, and it is better than trying not to!
