Not really 2nd guessing Phil Jackson...

...but I am thinking that he should rest Kobe in case there is a game 7.

That is 17ing stupid. We can all agree Pomeranz was going to start game 2 or 3. He isn't starting both games. Koby starts every game. Playing basketball isn't like pitching in baseball.</p>

yeah, but if the celtics hadn't benched their starting pitcher kevin garnett maybe they would have beaten the florida marlins. seriously dude? get jokes.

I didn't say Bianco shouldn't start Pomeranz, I also said I wasn't second guessing Bianco. My point was Pomeranz threw over 200 plus pitches less than a week ago, with the Rebels winning game one the pressure was on Va, one more day to rest Pomeranz wasn't gonna kill the Rebels because they lost anyway. What IF the Rebels had started Baker and he had the lead as Pomeranz did in the 8th inning or let's say the 6th, Pomeranz could have been available to relieve and what do you think would have happened then?
I didn't blame Bianco as I realize he was trying to end the series, but they lost anyway.
