Not a good team?
Phil Jackson was asked before the game, in a general sense, if he was surprised the Lakers are this good.
``That's not a term I would use,'' Jackson said.
Good? He wouldn't call his team good.
``If we were 30-5, I would use that term,'' Jackson said.
Well, there's a coach for you. Jackson would allow that he was pleased with his team's development after the season-opening loss to Houston, and cited a team meeting that took place the following day.
``We had to talk about the ball stopping and not moving,'' Jackson said.
