Jackson Disses Portland--Bulletin Board Material!

Given the Blazers' notable 26-5 home record this season, would anybody be surprised if the visitors lost again tonight?

"I don't want to talk about that," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said Sunday. "It's been belabored too many years now. It happened before I even started and just continued on here for years. Mark it down to rainy weather, depressing faces."

Uh, WTF? Dogging the rain I can handle, but whose depressing faces is he referring to, exactly? Let's make sure they belong to the L$kers, eh?

rainy weather > cancerous smog

He was making a joke anyway, seeing as how he had no real come-back for the question at hand.

Is that really a dis?

I mean, our town is famous for beer, rain, and awesome musicians driving themselves to suicidal depression. Seems like it’s our brand.

I like to think of it as a badge of honor.

It wasn't raining today

IT WAS SNOWING IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS HAILING SIDEWAYS IN THE AFTERNOON!!!

I knew that if it was raining today, the Blazers would win. But, when I woke up to snow and got caught walking in a hail storm, I knew that the L-kers would be in for a special butt-whooping tonight!
