The Laker Curse (AKA Curse of the Logo) continues....

Congragulations Phil Jackson for another mediocre year and entertaining post season for Laker Haters everywhere. However, there was one subject missing that I found very odd. Every night I tuned in to watch the Lakers lose I noticed there was a distinct ommission of Phil Jackson "innovations" that he and his staff have taken credit for in previous championship years.

The most treasured invention is of course the "Triangle Offense". Did anyone notice that this stupid phrase was not mentioned more than twice during the Laker playoff run/exit? Why did the broadcasters stop drinking the Kool Aid? Does it only "work" when a Phil Jackson team wins??? Just for fun I decided to do a reimagined rendition of Phil's notes and playbook. This is a playbook simulation after watching 500 + games during Phil's baskeball tenure:

Step one: Have someone dribble the ball up.

Step two: Pass the ball to the most dominant player in the league. (Note to self, make sure to entrench yourself to a team that has the most dominant player in the league)

Step three: Have the most domininant player in the league shoot the damn ball.

Step Four: Try and take credit for it when you win. Use Tex Winter's steady hand and draw a pretty triangle.

Step Five: Wear a really smug look on yourself and tease the opposing teams underdog city while in the winning locker room press conferences. (Note to self: This does not work as well when losing a series. You must only do this during winning to show how much of an ass you can really be while being a hyprocrite to "zen buddhist thought" at the same time. )
Go Clippers. Til next year Laker fans.
