[CHRON] Jackson quotes on Battier, Bynum vs Yao

Wow can't believe he criticized someone publicly! Does he think he is Gundy?

 

If JVG is let go after this season comes to a conclusion, does anyone doubt for a second that PJax would give serious consideration to the job opening down the I-10 in Houston?

I am intrigued by the prospect of McGrady and Yao in the triangle, and who's better at it than Big Chief Triangle himself?

Just saying ...

 

It would be very hard for me to root for the Rockets if someone like Phil Jackson was the coach.

I would donate money to the Rockets organization, or charities to not hire Phil Jackson.

He is good at working with super star's egos and getting them to play in a successful overall scheme. He isn't particularly good at x's and o's.

He's just a total phony sleaze ball, psuedo Zen pretender.

I can't stand Phil Jackson

 

Now you're gonna get edc to post in this and suddenly we have a 100 page thread...

 

You don't know PJ very well. He's called out just about everyone on their team except Kobe and Luke Walton.

 

Yeah, I was just making fun of posters who think JVG shouldn't criticize guys like VSpan.

 

If Jackson became Rockets coach, I think it might be safe to say that the ring Tmac wants will be further away then it is now because it takes a few seasons to learn the triangle and will only slow the progress of Tmac and Yao and I wouldn't want to see that.

 

Bingo! The triangle offense is a pain in the neck and it's too troublesome for many players to learn. I think that is one reason the Lakers have regressed so much this season. Kobe and Luke Walton are the only two guys on the Lakers that seem to have it mastered. I can't tell with LO. Smush, Kwame & VladRam will never get it and their young players are obviously still learning.

Mr. Clutch, sorry I missed your sarcasm. I must be denser than normal right now.

 

I actually disagree with that. McGrady and Yao are extremely high basketball IQ type of players. If anyone in this entire league can adjust to the triangle, it's Yao and especially McGrady.

These two guys are very, very bright individuals and the game just comes naturally to them.

I am willing to bet that they would have it down by the ASG, barring any more injuries, of course, that could disturb their progress. Not to mention that they would have the entire summer/training camp to familiarize themselves with it.

Their young guys are dumb compared to even our role players like Battier, Howard, Chuck, and even Rafer. All these guys are intelligent basketball players, even if they have limited abilities.

I think we're much better equipped than the Lakers are to execute the triangle. Will we master it right away? No, but we would have an easier time learning it than the current Lakers squad.

You need intelligent players for the triangle, because it's a thinking man's system. But the old Lakers squad that won those rings had high b-ball IQ players in Fisher, Fox, Horry, and other role players outside of Shaq and Kobe who studies the triangle and learned how to fit into their roles. So that's what's needed to make it work.

 

Phil Jackson for Rocket Coach!...thanks alot tigermi$$ion.

 

Jackson is the master of bashing players that contain his own players. So, for anyone whose got weak minds, it can be torture. But then again, I don't think the Rockets organization will fall in to his crap.

 

I'm guessing these quotes are before the game. I remember seeing that quote about Bynum/Yao before. Good read for people who haven't seen it anyways.
