Lakers keep winning

Anyone who thinks Phil Jackson isn't a great coach hasn't watched the Lakers this year. They have almost the same team as last year yet they are doing much better and beating teams like the Spurs and the Mavericks. I am not sure why they are so much better since Lamar Odom has been out and they have also been missing most of their big guys, but the guys they do have are much better and Maurice Evans is an excellent player who has really added quite a bit. I think Radmonovich will do better as the season goes along and the Lakers are going to stay near the top. I don't think they can beat the Suns in the playoffs however.
