It's Just Change for Phil Jackson
Earlier today, Phil Jackson was fined $25,000 for the negative comments he told the media regarding the officiating. Phil Jackson complained about Denver attempting 14 more free throws that game. Included in the barage of negative comments was what I feel to be a very legitimate concern.
Dahntay Jones was seen extending his leg even further while already out of balance the opposite direction in what can assume with 99% accuracy to be an intentional and dirty play. Apparently the league decided it was dirty because they have upgraded the foul to flagrant.
Coach Karl seemed convincing when he said “Everybody knows how we use him. We sic him on the best perimeter guy. That’s his job, that’s his assignment. A Bruce Bowen mentality and he’s done a good job with it. He’s done well with it.”
I’ve got to admit, Kobe Bryant himself had the best comment saying, “I just fell on my face for no reason. I’m a klutz.” He’s got a classy sort of sarcasm that has an underlying hate. I’ve got to give him respect for that.
Phil Jackson also expressed his concern for the quantity of fouls called on Luke Walton.
