Dear Phil Jackson
Oh, and one word of advice


dear phil jackson

just a little memo

you are my favorite coach in professional sports
you are my favorite basketball coach of all time with the possible
exception of john wooden
when you first came to the lakers from chi town i was besides myself
with joy

i am very pleased you are back in town with my team

i love the triangle offense
when it is played well it is spontaneous and adaptable to all situations
it is fun and freeflowing and great to watch
and it encourages the best kind of team work
with the players thinking for themselves and hopefully refining their
basketball intelligence constantly
i trust in the way you let things work themselves out
and the way you see the energy of the game moving
and give it the best possible route to flow in the laker's favor
i believe in it and i believe in you

but please, i ask you, if lamar is guarded by ginobili again on friday
please encourage the other fellas with the ball..kobe, smush, devean,
sasha, luke, etc
to give the ball to lamar in the post
he can sautee ginobili all night long in there
lamar has a distinct size advantage as ginobili's nose just about
reaches lamar's armpit

lamar came out with a lot of energy last night against the spurs
and was shooting well
but it seemed he was getting his baskets on offensive boards or garbage
plays
or having to go one on one from the perimeter
it made me concerned, to see him working so hard and not getting
rewarded by getting the ball inside

it is so important for lamar to be encouraged to play at the high level
he is so capable of
he seems so self effacing
but he really is a star

i am very against thuggish play
i really hated it when brian cook decked whoever he did in the
preseason this year
and felt that rick fox cursed the lakers season a few years ago when he
had that absurd fight with doug christie in the pre season
however, i thought it was great when lamar blocked tony parker with a
little extra last night
i did not think it was a flagrant, it was a bad call
but something had to be done about that little scoundrel prancing into
the lane all night long

i really care for the lakers
i get more attached to this team
the more i get to know them through their play, which is so symbolic of
their character
they are really a bunch of unique dynamic guys
and though i occasionally get frustrated when they lose because i am
an over the top fan
i really love these guys
i hope you are getting them meditating together, like i heard you used
to do with the bulls
a group meditation could really get them on the same page

they can unite!
they can do it!
they are starting to find their places in the system!
keep the faith!

and kwame is going nowhere but up

and andrew bynum will be a great center in the league one day

your supporter

Another Flea quote, same movie:
