Jackson is Fisher-man part 2 without the "Mister Steal Yo Girl"-ing. All preacher man, no X and O's.

We won't make the playoffs, but are going to win at least twice the games we won last season. That is more progress than most teams can hope for year over year. Next year, the goal will be playoffs. The year after that, the goal will be deep playoff run. This is how things work. We were not going to transform overnight. Overhauling again is a waste. You stay the course, be happy that you are improving, and continue to build. No knee-jerk roster overhauls based on the last 10 games results. Before that we were a .500 team, one of the biggest surprise teams in the league. Now we came back down to earth a little bit, with injuries playing a big part in that. I think it is time to just relax and be realistic about what this team is compared to last season, and how far we have come.

It's a crossroads because the Fisher firing is a major setback to the supposed culture Phil was trying to build here - both with high character individuals and with the Triangle.

It's a crossroads because no one really believes Rambis is the best coach to go forward with and we have to pick a new path forward.

If he totally bypasses Thibs and just interviews the likes of Walton and Shaw or other unproven Triangle disciples, I think I'm off the Phil triangle train. He'll be in LA's front office with Jeanie in no time flat.

This is sort of where I'm at. If he doesn't even consider Thibs, he needs to go.

Phil says he wants a system coach - Thibs is a system coach. Not the same exact system, but he ran Triangle sets in some of what Chicago did.

FILLED WITH POT HOLES AND FORKS EVEN SOME SPOONS, BUT ITS HOW U NAVIGATE IT. I HONESTLY THINK WE WILL BE OK. IF DOLAN AND ISIAH WERE CONSPIRING MAYBE BUT PHIL DOESNT MAKE TO MANY HASTY HALF ASS DECISIONS

That was beautiful.

I don't think Phil has any problem with Thibs. He just wants to give Rambis a shot and didn't want to suggest that he's actively looking for another head coach right this moment while Rambis is trying to prove he's the man for the job. I believe Phil would sit with Thibs if Rambis is a disaster.

Rambis's coaching record is 54-146 for a .270 winning percentage in 200 games coached.

Thibodeau's coaching record is 255-139 for .647 winning percentage in almost 400 games coached.

So basically if Rambis were to win his next 200 games in a row as a coach - he would not have as good a record as Thibodeau. Think about that for a second.

Slightly different situations, but one of the things touted about Phil's record is his winning percentage. So can he recognize a successful coach and see eye to eye. Hasn't Phil always emphasized defense? Thibs is one of the top defensive minds in the sport.

...That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
