Coaching Preview: Phil Jackson

We've covered the players, now it''s time for our Coaching Preview, in which we discuss what to expect in the coming season from Phil Jackson and the coaching staff of the 2010-11 Los Angeles Lakers

Eleven championships in nineteen seasons.  We'll all remember that Jordan had his Era, or that Kobe had his, but realistically, it was the Phil Jackson Era.  It was under Big Chief Triangle's guidance that talented teams became championship teams. All-Time great teams. Dynasties.  Phil's teams didn't just win, they dominated.  Completely.  

Those who try to slight Phil will bring up the talent he had playing for him.  Jordan, Pippen, Grant, Rodman, Shaq, Kobe, Pau, Lamar, and Ron.  True, those are some great players, but hasn't Mike D'Antoni coached great talent? Hasn't George Karl?  Rick Adelman?  Or even Jerry Sloan?  No rings on their fingers.  How about the ones that have won Championships with great talent?  Larry Brown.  Doc Rivers.  Gregg Popovich.  None of them has gone back-to-back, never mind have the chance to win a fourth three-peat.  Not even the great Pat Riley has accomplished what Phil Jackson has.  Phil maximizes his opportunities like no other coach in sports.  Phil has lost sometimes as well, but it was in some of the "losing" campaigns that have brought out the Zen Master's finest work.  

He won his first title in his second season as head coach of the Bulls, a year after getting bounced by the Pistons, who would go on to repeat.  In 1994-95, he led the Michael Jordan-less Bulls to 55 wins and one win away from returning to the Eastern Conference Finals.  Upon Mike's return in 1995-96, Phil led the Bulls to the best regular season ever with 72 wins.  There was also his return to the Lakers in 2005-06, in which he nearly guided a Kobe led team with a supporting cast that started Like Walton, Smush Parker, and Kwame "F#@!)ing" Brown (seriously?) to nearly upsetting the Championship contending Suns in the First Round.  Then following an injury-decimated 2006-07, in which the Lakers still finished the season over .500 in a tough Western Conference, he was coaching them to the best record in the West in 2007-08 before the Pau trade.

Star-divide

We know what happened that next.  King Philip and the Lakers took their beating in the Finals, went home, worked harder and won the next two Championships, and are favored to win it this year.  You see, while some of us were questioning whether Phil still had the hunger (after seemingly getting out-coached by Doc Rivers in 2008), he re-focused by turning Pau into man, Ariza into a stud, Lamar into a difference maker, keeping faith in Fish, believing in Ron Artest, and knowing when to reign in Kobe.

It's not just about talent with Phil.  The man can coach his ass off.  Why else does he run a system no one else dares to even try?  Sorry Kurt Rambis, you don't count.  When running on all cylinders, nothing seems as beautiful as the Triangle at work.  Just think, before Bynum was starting, the Lakers were a top 2-3 scoring team in the NBA.  The others were typically Phoenix or Golden State - two teams that ran as often as possible.  See, they made it a point to score a lot.  Phil's Triangle teams just can't be stopped when in tune.  But his best teams always played great defense.  The Bulls with MJ and Scottie, the Shaq and Kobe's Lakers, and last year's Lakers were all very good defensive teams.  

We head into this 2010-11 NBA season with many story lines to follow; The Lakers have improved their suspect bench; the Miami Heat "Super Power" are sure to be threats; the Boston Celtics have re-tooled; Dwight Howard has been working on his offense.  The most important, for Lakers fans at least, is that this will be Phil Jackson's last season as Lakers head coach.  Or so we've been told, since we never really know when it comes to what's on Phil's mind.

Nevertheless, we head into this season with the greatest coach the NBA's ever had being a "lame duck" coach.  It's possible that he may have decided the wanted to leave after this season, but with the drama that played all last season and into the summer between Dr. Buss, Jeannie and Phil, it sure seems like Phil was politely shown the door.  Something Jackson has only reinforced with his comments alluding to the possibility of still wanting to coach after this season.  If that's the case, why not for the Lakers?  Much like Kobe, I don't want to see Phil on another sideline.  For selfish reasons, I do hope this is his last campaign and his finest.  The Lakers know how important home court is, so even though they turned it on once the Playoffs started last season, they also can't afford to concede the best record in the NBA.  They  won the Chip in large part due to the fact that they played Games 6 & 7 at Staples Center.  They might not be so lucky this year if they treat the season so nonchalantly.  Phil will have his guys ready.  He's even brought the beard back.  He's ready...

Role on the Team:  Duh!  He's the coach.  The "decider."  The Zen Master.  He knows when to push, when to pull back, when to chide players, and when to praise them.  The real issue will be finding the happy medium between fighting for home court, and keeping everyone healthy, all while promoting team cohesion.  Phil Jackson teams usually head into the Playoffs peaking.  Last year was the exception, but this season may present some very real problems should the Heat be as good as advertised, or if Hakeem Olajuwon's tutelage has an impact on Dwight.  Oh, then there's Boston, whom just got a lot bigger to combat the problem they had with the Lakers size.  Oh, boy.  Thanks to those factors, the Lakers can't afford to pull back.

Best-Case Scenario for His Season:  Phil ending the season wearing a purple hat with "XII" on it, while Jerry Buss ends his infatuation with fast breaks and learns to love the Triangle so much, he actually realizes he's won six Championships with it.  Buss then remembers he made more money than ever before and begs Phil to come back.  Except Phil realizes Brian Shaw is ready, retires, walks off into the sunset, heads back to Montana, becomes B-Shaw's Tex Winter, and the Lakers win 2-3 more over the next five years.

Worst-Case Scenario for His Season:  Ending the season with a loss to the Celtics, then watching as Phil takes the Miami job (after they also end their season with a loss) then running off four Championships in a row before retiring to a nice lake house in Florida with some hot Cuban a third of his age (great for him, not us!).  All while Brian Shaw makes Kurt Rambis look like the one that got away.

What we expect:  Third verse, same as the first....Phil ending the season wearing a purple hat with "XII" on it, while Jerry Buss ends his infatuation with fast breaks and learns to love the Triangle so much, he actually realizes he's won six Championships with it.  Buss then remembers he made more money than ever before and begs Phil to come back.  Except Phil realizes Brian Shaw is ready, retires, walks off into the sunset, heads back to Montana, becomes B-Shaw's Tex Winter, and the Lakers win 2-3 more over the next five years.

Those players who coached by Phil Jackson are the TOP greatest Players in NBA History, MJ, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, Shaq Oneal, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest…….etc. Some of these players have been played in other teams, but never get a ring or repeat the NBA Championship.

"Hardwork beats talent when talent fails to work hard"-Norm Nixon

There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be committed against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the Limelight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.

j/k well I guess I need insider basketball players quotes and whatever else to be in his position but he did a good job, good to see someone else also attacking this stupid rule, I swear players should boycott or try to get ejected on purpose on national tv, that would be FUNNY.

What has me really pissed off is the "study" Stern is using to support these rules.

The majority of fans DO NOT support stricter refs.

Yeah cause I really wanna know where they conducted this study

NBA.com had a poll, ESPN.com had a poll and majority says this rule SUCKS so where oh where did Stu and Stern get this data from??? Thats what happens when one man has to much power, to me it’s up to the players to take a stand now, this season should be interesting.

Thanks sf3, but this is a big, stodgy, old business, and, well, Macs just wouldn’t fit the IT mindset. We need REAL PCs…PCs that had to be overhauled so we could upgrade to Windows XP! (yeah, that was THIS year!!!) PCs that were obsolete a year before they were delivered to the warehouse. PCs that still have floppy drives…because you never know when the very data you need is trapped on a floppy disk….and never mind that you’ll have to vacuum 1/2 pound of dust out of the drive first, ‘cuz nobody, NOBODY ever uses it. Dell PCs that had that funky flap on the front where they hid the headphone jack and 2 USB ports you couldn’t see even if you laid down on the floor and so you can’t even tell if the flash drive has to go in vertically or horizontally. PCs that I wouldn’t even give to my ex-wife for free.

Yeah, so, thanks all the same, but obviously, I don’t have Self Control, either the software or the real thing.

You want me to explain that you've totally helped me through my computer issues with a million back and forth emails?

And that in addition to going to school, you help little munchkins at an elementary school learn the computer and that they call you Mr. Computer Helper, which I think is sooooo cute?

Sure, I can do that.

though i agree that there are some times that killing is the only option for a good (e.g. self defense, national security), there’s nothing to rejoice when a life is taken away. kenshin knows that. and he would rather make the mistake of “not killing” than treat life as if it is something cheap by killing (again).

History nerd mode on

Samurai made use of explosives (inherited from China); and toward the end of their reign in Japan, western-style firearms and artillery. Swords weren’t primary battle weapons, even before the introduction of firearms.

And this info is especially helpful to Sarge, I’m sure, as now he doesn’t have to worry about being a failure with his sword — he can just continue to do what he does best — blow shit up, and he’ll still be considered a Samurai. Nice.

You know in the past I really didn't respect Phil that much but since he has returned to the lakers, Ihave really changed my mind.

He has to be the best at getting through to players at all levels, and tends to get them to own up to their responsibilities or get out of lakerville. It has been a pleaser to have him take care of the Lakers and I hope he hangs around forever.

Depends on how well Wall plays with Arenas.

Arenas could either make or break Wall’s rookie season. You just don’t know what’ll happen. On the other hand, Griffin will have a very solid rookie season, but not spectacular because of the amount of talent on the Clippers.

Griffin is the given, and Wall is the wild card, IMO.

excellent…

"Lebron has the ball, dribbles down the court, splitting the Lakers defenders with 5 seconds left on the clock with the game on the line in the 2011 NBA Finals Game 7! Lebron pulls up from deep, in Kobe's face and drains the three pointer! HEAT WIN HEAT WIN!!! 89-88!!!!!

...BEEP BEEP BEEP...BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Then Lebron's alarm goes off and he wakes up and goes downstairs to eat a delicious breakfast made by his mom and Delonte West."

damn...

I’m gonna have to go home and crank up the DVR. I’ve got the last 2 games of the 2010 Finals saved and the last 2 games of the 2009 Finals saved. And a wife who is OK with only having half the space available, for ever.

"What we want to remember—what we will remember—is the indelible vision of Kobe, his arms outstretched, delirious with joy and disbelief, running after and grabbing hold of Lamar Odom’s floating downcourt pass, while all the purple and gold streamers in the world are raining down on the hardwood." - Brian Tung

i love that three point barrage game

i think it was – if i got it right – because one of the sonics commented that kobe can’t shoot threes. well, kobe showed them.

Eleven championships in nineteen seasons

i read this line like ten times. it truly is amazing. 13 out of 19 seasons, he has gone to the finals. arguably the greatest coach in the history of major professional sports

Ron-Ron on Kobe and Durant:
“[He’s] the biggest shot maker, big shot maker. So, that said, Durant’s the second best player in the NBA.”

When asked where James ranks on his list, Artest excluded the back-to-back MVP from consideration.

“I only count to two,” Artest said. “I’ve been out of school 15 years, so I only count to two.”
