I think the Phil Jackson era is coming to a close here in L.A. They are gonna get booted in the Western Conference Finals by Denver and Jackson is gonna step away as head coach. You could see it in the Houston series that this team does not have the same substance that they played with last year, and last year was without Bynum. I trust Billups on Denver probably better then I trust any other NBA player in the league. When the Western Conference Finals start he is gonna have been in his 7th consecutive Conference Finals. Thats insane. The guy knows how to win and has obviously taken Denver over the hump to now being a semi-elite team. There is so much value in taking Denver here its outrageous. I will definitly be on Denver in game 1 tomorrow +6.5. Thats just an absolute gift. There is a good shot they win this game outright if not give it one hell of a try. I'm telling you people watch this series closely because it could very well be the last time you see Kobe and Phil together.
