1) Sign Oh!Damm!
2) Talk to Metta.
3) Fire the Walking Dead Coaching Staff.
4) Ask these loser players what they think (while looking actually interested).
5) Send Steve Kerr a HelloKitty card with pics of Jeannie inside.
6) Look at the floor when asked about Jimmie.
7) Look everyone in the eye when asked about Melo.
8) Make sure everyone knows I'm a better coach than Pop ever was (or could be).
I just don't understand posts like this. The guy has barely been with the team for a month and carries an enormous legacy behind him, and the same people that were waving the homer flags and praising Melo during our first round exits are now on the edges of their seats trying to tear Phil down. So you support the team through the **** times, but then, once things look up, you look for the first opportunity to complain and moan? It's like these people are allergic to a winning culture.
As for your list half of that stuff is just Phil doing his due diligence with absolutely no drawbacks. The other half is nonsensical. As for number 8, he did not criticize Pop in any way and he complimented San Antonio, it was hardly a big jab. When he says they are not exactly a dynasty it's coming from the mouth of a man that has 3-peated 3 separate times with two different teams. Let that sink in, PHIL JACKSON HAS 3-PEATED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. Do you understand the weight of that fact? I don't care who your players are, that is fantastic. If anyone can talk about dynasties it is Phil. And yet people are unhappy this is the man running the show.... Typical battered Knicks fan syndrome.
So you're you've painted your face with 13's and waved your foam Phil finger. Good for you.
Winning culture? We have a winning culture 1 month in? How did that come about, actually?
Due diligence? Signing Odom is due diligence with no drawbacks? Please tell me what you thought of the JR Smith signing. Or spending money on lil' brother Chris. If Grunny had signed the crackhead, what would you be typing? You sound like Phil could re-sign Chris Smith and you'd be okay with that.
As for number 8, you might want to stop your lips from moving and realize you just re-iterated my point. He pointed out during a conversation about why Melo should sacrafice for the team to an unrelated point about how San Tone is not a dynasty. Like he builds. ASK YOURSELF WHY IT WAS NECESSARY TO POINT THAT OUT. I'll give you a hint. EGO. Melo should sacrafice while I tell you about how great I am.
Please point out what's great about the early returns that has you creaming over this "winning culture" we have so far. I'm all for Phil, and no one was happier hearing Dolan talking about disappearing into the background.
