In the midst of an embarrassing, sweep-culminating, Jason Terry-three-pointer-fueled, blow-out loss that ended with “You stay classy, San Diego” ejections for both Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum, it started to feel like there was no way that Phil Jackson would return to coach this Lakers roster next season. I suspect that the Zen master is going fishing. Literally — fly fishing in Montana, his favorite hobby and the only sporting endeavor I suspect he ever wants to do again at this point.
And if we can read anything into Kobe’s casual look at the scoreboard in the third quarter, I’m guessing he wouldn’t be mad at Phil if this was his last game ever. This franchise just ended it’s three-straight-NBA-Finals run about as poorly as any team could and these Lakers, as we knew them, are likely never to be heard from again.
Shame, too, because Bynum’s elbow turned this into a game that in no way belongs on Jackson’s resume.
By contrast, here’s Mark Cuban a few minutes later.

Will not head out live until finally you’ve got put to use with a simulation balance. James noted him self and the display screen to get a weeks occasion as they simply screened the actual areas in addition to become a member of trading immediately, giving a full criticism in the goods they has been imagining and also precisely why he expected any deals this individual managed. There is certainly very little cherry picked. James Edward is a veteran dealer who seem to designed dunes final 12 months when he started off managing some are living broker schooling lessons.
