That is because he is nothing more than an average player, who got hot for a few weeks last season, playing in NYC. I never bought into the "Lincanity" and I couldnt wait for that matchup last year against the Heat, because I knew they were going to show the world who he really is.

Latest #Clippers Rumor says Del Negro is out and the team may court Phil Jackson. I don't believe it one bit, but would fully support it.

Haven't seen any credible reporter mention Phil to the Clippers but that would be awesome.

Who are these guys? Until someone like Woj reports this, I'm not buying it.

[Morozov]

Phil coming in to coach the Clippers would be beyond awesome.

[davebenj]

Is it just me or do the Bulls blow at least one huge lead a season? Blew a 27 point lead to Milwaukee, blew a 35 point lead to Sacramento a few years ago, and there is one other than escapes me right now.

[davebenj]

As for Phil, I'm pretty surprised he was only born in 1945. Now for some, they might be thinking I'm nuts for saying "only" but my father was born in 1942 and I would have bet money that Phil was older than him.

Anyway, I would love it if he came to the Clippers. A slap in the face to the Lakers is grand in my book any day!

[KaylaJ]

Clippers hiring Phil would be interesting, but they better be careful about it too.




Anyway, on another subject, I thought it was awesome that the Rockets attended Sasha McHale's funeral. I know they don't have the same travel that the rest of us do, but I still think its nice of them to show that kind of support for their coach.

There goes Rondo's assist streak. Pretty crazy altercation.

and there goes my twitter feed making fun of NBA scuffles.

[Live in the Now]

That was a funny one.

[Avs_19]

Speaking of funny, Wizards were up 15 on the Blazers in the 4th quarter and now the Blazers just went on a 15-0 run to tie the game.

Garnett gets "fouled"

Good. Every time the Wizards lose the media goes nuts and rants about how bad they are

For the @WashWizards, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Night Portland! Out of the rut, time to find the groove. #WizBlazers

Wizards barely hang on and are no longer winless. Congrats.

[ixcuincle]

They're still the worst team in the NBA.

Yes, they are but they're also missing their best player.

[ixcuincle]

The local media mocks the Wizards constantly and says they still wouldn't be relevant even if Wall was back

Kornheiser today on his show mocked Wall and questioned his level of talent. "Is Wall Magic Johnson?"

Wall has largely disappointed in his first 2 years. Beal has been garbage and Vessley looks like a bust.

[Kershaw]

Garnett and Rondo are POSs.

[Morozov]

Very fitting that Rondo's assist streak gets broken due to him getting ejected.

[KingForsberg]

Rajon Rondo is a punk.

[Avs_19]

Of course Rondo would be the one to start a fight on a play where KG barely got touched.

Harden's return to OKC isn't going too well right now.

[Muh]

Don't think that was a foul that would lead to an altercation like that. But I respect Rondo for sticking up for his teamate like that. He obviously thought it was worse then what it was.

Hate the Celtics, and the Nets for that matter, but Rondo has been my favorite player since he came in the league. Well done buddy.
