YES, IT WAS A PITIFUL MOVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"},"content":{"rendered":"

LET’S JUST SAY THAT THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS ARE DONE FOR THE SEASON AS IT APPLIES TO ANY ASPIRATIONS FOR A WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP,\u00a0 AND THEY CAN FORGET THE NBA TITLE, THEY WON’T EVEN BE IN THAT CONVERSATION.\u00a0 MIKE D’ANTONI\u00a0 WAS RUN OUT OF PHOENIX AFTER HE RUINED AN EXCELLENT\u00a0 SUNS TEAM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS. THEN, HE ARRIVED IN NEW YORK TO TOTALLY DISMANTLE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS FOR THE KNICKS WITH HIS MISGUIDED SELF CENTERED THOUGHT PROCESS.\u00a0 THIS GUY SAYS YES,\u00a0 IT’S ME WHEN THE TEAM IS WINNING,\u00a0 AND HEY, \u00a0IT’S THE PLAYERS FAULT WHEN THEY ARE LOSING. \u00a0HE THINKS THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT THE TEAM,\u00a0 AND THIS HAS MOVED HIS PLAYERS TO LOUDLY ASK FOR A REAL COACH WHO WANTS TO WHEN AS AN ORGANIZATION,\u00a0 NOT AS A MIKE D’ANTONI, “I\u00a0 WAS RIGHT WHEN WE WON” AND “THE PLAYERS PLAYED POORLY WHEN THEY LOST”. D’ANTONI HAS NEVER ACCEPTED RESPOSIBILITY\u00a0 FOR HIS SHORT COMINGS AS A\u00a0HEAD COACH. AND HE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH GREAT PLAYERS BECAUSE HE NEVER MADE IT\u00a0IN THE NBA AS A PLAYER BECAUSE HE WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH TO COMPETE ON THE NBA’S SUPEROIR LEVEL DURING HIS PLAYING YEARS , GOING TO 3 DIFFERENT TEAMS IN 5 YEARS, AND FINALLY BEING ACCEPTED BY THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE. HE\u00a0BLAMES EVERBODY BECAUSE THEY SAID HE WASN’T ANY GOOD, AND HE WASN’T SATISFIED WITH HIS STAR POWER IN THE\u00a0 EUROPEAN LEAGUE IN THE 70’S, BECAUSE IT WAS ACROSS THE WATERS AND NOT ON THE ALMIGHTY NBA BASKETBALL COURTS.\u00a0 SOME OF HIS MEDIA CROONIES\u00a0 ARE \u00a0SAYING THAT HE’S THERE BECAUSE OF STEVE NASH,\u00a0 BUT IF NASH REALLY WANTED HIM TO STAY WITH THE PHOENIX SUNS,\u00a0 HE WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN FIRED\u00a0BY\u00a0MANAGEMENT IN \u00a0PHOENIX,\u00a0 AND THE TEAM WOULD HAVE STAYED IN TACT WITH NASH AND STOUDAMIRE STILL BEING MEMBERS OF THE SUNS, AND\u00a0 D’ANTONI STILL UNDERACHIEVING AS A COACH, AND THAT’S A FACT. <\/strong><\/p>\n

HE MIGHT BE A DECENT OFFENSIVE ASSISTANT COACH, \u00a0BUT AS A HEAD COACH, HE HAS FAILED TERRIBLY, AND HAS YET TO ACCEPT THAT AS REALITY.\u00a0 YES, THE LAKERS GOT HIM ON THE CHEAP AND YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.\u00a0 BUT, WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT IT, THEY OVERPAID THIS GUY, BECAUSE HE’S NOT WORTH, “$4 MILLION, $3 MILLION, OR EVEN, $2MILLION”. \u00a0THE LAKERS COULD HAVE SAVED SEVERAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY KEEPING BERNIE BICKERSTAFF AS THEIR HEAD COACH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, WHICH WOULD HAVE GIVEN PHIL JACKSON THE TIME HE NEEDED TO TOTALLY HEAL FROM HIS SURGERY AND BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE TRAVEL SCHEDULE THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE A HEAD COACH AGAIN IN THE NBA. <\/strong><\/p>\n

PHIL JACKSON IS THE MAN THAT THE LAKERS NEED, AND THAT’S A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPEFULLY THAT 3 YR DEAL ISN’T TOTALLY GUARANTEED, BECAUSE IF IT IS, THE LAKERS JUST THREW AWAY $12 MILLION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN USED TOWARD SIGNING THE ZEN MASTER!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
