NBA investigates Portland

Think he’s not touchy about Portland?

I’ll say it again. Just shameful.

so the implication is that these insidious videos will incite the savage Portlanders into rioting or rushing the floor and tearing Ariza into pieces right? Eat dung Phil Jackson. The entertainment The L*kers provide amounts to daycare for a nation of spoiled brats. I wish this circus act would stop interfering with my enjoyment of the game of basketball.

It’s ok to put Rudy in the hospital, shame on all of you for the way you acted. To remind Ariza what he had to go through with that vicious out of nowhere Blazer attack is just not right.

People were lining up to give him hugs and flowers before the game and then this video is shown and the poor guy is made into some sort of bad guy.

Him getting boo’d is much worse than what he did to Rudy, much much worse.

Phil complains about the video because he says it negatively affected Ariza’s game. So is he basically calling Ariza soft? The video really hurt his feelings to the point that he couldn’t focus on basketball?

SCOREBOARD.

I vote we forfeit the game and play again…. Only right thing to do…

There is a reason they don’t allow teams to show them and Phil has a right to at least point out that it wasn’t the best choice by the Blazers. Did it make a difference? No. Nobody had forgotten what happened. Phil will try to use it as motivation for his team or to try to gain some sway with officials or something but Phil will be Phil.

Another possibility though is that the Blazers were trying to calm the crowd down. I mean Laker fans have been saying, “Just watch the replay” and we will all see how he was going for the ball and it was just a hard foul. Right?

Waaah Phil Jackson

Waaahh Trevor Ariza

Waaah NBA

I am glad Larry Miller played it….it is worth the cost. Plus, now, with continued talk of this non-story, The Lakers just look like whining sore losers.

Also, I see the LA Times showed the same foul to accompany the story. Does Phil object to that, too?

Philip really loves those cowbells…

But then again I’m sure they’ve NEVER shown these replays at the Staples Center, right Philip?

And i suspect he did this latest thing to call out Ariza’s getting flustered by the crowd friday.

is so pathetic. Jackson has been trying to portray us as the evil team from up north since 2000 when he whined about PA’s deep pockets. Right cause they’re aren’t any supplemental and valuable endorsement deals in LA that could lure a once in a life time center like Shaq all the way from Florida right? Right? Phil is scared of Portland and I like that.

Frankly inciting mobs can be a dangerous thing. People tend to not think in mobs and adding fuel to that fire doesn’t help.

On the other hand, I think Phil is a big baby and he shouldn’t complain if he can’t bother to show up at the game. I guess his behind is still sore from the butt kicking. Reached him all the way down in LA it was so bad.

who once compared Rick Adelman to Adolf Hitler, remember? (Probably because of the moustache Adelman used to wear…)

Technically, the Blazers did do something wrong—a league rule prohibits replaying flagrant fouls, fights, and such. But I wouldn’t expect much to come from it—and given that no Blazer players this year have sent opposing players to the hospital. That seems to be a problem with the Lakers.
