The Zen Master on the Move?
Posted on 26. May, 2010 at 8:00 am by SKI in Basketball, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA Basketball, Phoenix Suns
After getting beat by the Suns to tie the series up at 2-2 the biggest question coming out of LA isn’t how the Lakers go about slowing the Suns down, it is does Phil Jackson leave the Lakers to go to the Bulls or even the Nets.
This question was brought up during the post game news conference to Phil. He responded with a classic Zen Master response that keeps us wanting more. Asked if he would return to coach the Bulls Phil said, “he had no desire at all”. Which sounds about right since they tried to shaft him years ago by not giving him a pay raise after winning so many titles with them. When asked about maybe going to the Nets Phil had an interesting response, “I’d like to have a, you know, vodka with him at some point”, “He seems like a very interesting young man.” Most people will try to read between the lines and get that Phil is going to go to the Nets and with that Lebron will follow him there. Now I’m no idiot and I know that Phil is not going to go to New Jersey or anywhere other than the Lakers. He’s just trying to show Owner Jerry Buss that when the season ends and he thinks that he can cut his pay that he has all these other options to fall back on if he doesn’t get what he wants. And that’s all. So sorry Guido’s of New Jersey you’re not getting Phil to head out to that shit hole and try to resurrect that terrible team.
On a side note I don’t know how Phil can be so laid back and joking after dropping 2 straight to the Suns. They have been getting beat on offense, defense, hustle and all out effort in the last 2 games. And thats with Kobe shooting just lights out these 2 games. I don’t think I have seen him in this kind of zone all season and they are still getting beat. Lets just see if Phil is still laughing when the Suns steal game 5. I’m calling it now Suns win game 5.

Gambling on the NBA is a despicable act. Only rogue individuals would engage in such deplorable activity.
