Media has to lay blame to quench the ire of the fan.
Melo gets his share, Fish, Rambis and of course "the triangle".
Phil coached two renditions of Bulls to chips, the only hold over over 8 yrs was Pippin and GOAT.
Same with with Lakers, the last two without Shaq.
No doubt, gotta have talent. We know this, Phil knows this, Media knows this, ets. Simple really, no great coach ever didn't have great talent on his team.
Media got to remind us that 12mil a year starphuch hire has higher expectations than not. You and I don't make this kind of scratch, so media can blame not just phil, but his money. They will even make us be sympathetic toward Dolan for paying him. Geez, thats a twist.

For many of you Phil Jax was the Bull coach that killed us, and the laker coach who won more and got the bank the owners daughter. Yes, Phil wins at life. For some of us Phil was a knick and we welcome him to build a culture that we want to last for years beyond his employment.
For the rest of us schlubs we get to wish. I remember spring days watching afternoon games on the weekends. It was fun. The lawn could wait.
