yeah, it's true, but coach does matter
I did not think coach matters too much when bulls won 6 rings. As long as they have mj, they win. but I start to believe so when pj coaches Lakers. Lakers had Shaq and Kobe starting from the 96-97 season, did they win? they did not even get into the finals.
of course, coach meed great player, but great players does not guarantee the win. On the other hand, I also think PJ should take responsible for their 2004 lost.
