The Lakers continued their recent slide by losing at Dallas last night, and coach Phil Jackson let pretty much everyone have it after the game.
He used language so harsh and scary, that we had to wash our hands after reading it. This worked out pretty well, because our hands were dirty from punching all those boulders to dust with our mighty strength.
“I know there’s a lot of pressure on the refs when they come here because Mark has them review the tapes and send them into the league. These guys are nervous Nellies when they come in to referee in this building. But they have to do a better job than they’re doing. That’s not acceptable.”
The NBA higher-up are clearly going to have to suspend him after the use of “nervous Nellies”. You don’t just pull out the “nervous Nellie” unless you’re really, really, really angry. All this potty-mouth spread to Kobe Bryant, who worried he might get fined, too.
“You eyeing my piggy bank too?” he said, suggesting he didn’t want to be fined by the league.
Was it baby-talk night in the Laker locker room or something? Phil did take the time to rip Kwame Brown, calling him simply “awful”, which is what everyone has been saying for about 4 years but Mitch Kupchak missed somehow.
By the way, Desagana Diop has turned into a legit player in a Dallas, so to Mark Cuban we say, “gee-golly-willickers, mister – we’re really sorry.”

As a Laker fan, this Kwame Brown Deal is killing me!!! But they had to make a deal for a big man because they had no one else other than Bynum to play along side Mihm this year. And we know Bynum is not going to get any burn. I mean imagine the Lakers without Kwame in a situation like last night with Mihm injured. Their starting center would have been Brian Cook. But when you think about the Lakers this year, what is the main thing they need? ANOTHER SCORER!!! And we traded him for Kwame. At least they took Chucky Atkins off our hands. As for Kwame the problem is not getting to the basket…It’s making layups and dunks! I’ve never seen a guy airball more layups that close to the rim. This dude has the tools, he obviously is just a head case. I’ve read that pretty much all 10 of his brothers and his dad are all in jail or have been to jail, so it’s understandable he might need some tweeking up stairs. Lakers need to hire him a shrink NOW!
I would’ve gone out an gotten a vet big man (Popeye Jones even) on a one-year deal instead.
The thing with Kwame is that even though it’s only a 3 year deal, the heat the organization and Kupchak are taking and will continue to take is brutal.
He has the worst hands ever.
OH SHIT ITS PHIL JACKSON, SON!!!!
