For as long as I've been watching the NBA I've believed it was an unspoken rule that the "cool" thing to do after hitting an amazing shot is to just have a blank look on your face and pretend like nothing happened. It annoys me that Westbrook has to bang his chest and yell at the crowd every time he gets an And 1 opportunity or makes a great play. Maybe he's just an emotional dude but every time I see it I get this thought that he is doing it because he's trying to say to the crowd "I'm just as good as Durant, look at that play I just made!" Like he has an inferiority complex and he is desperate to outscore Durant every game because he doesn't want to be in Durant's shadow. Maybe I'm just cynical.

Really? I myself am a bit irked by his arguably excessive celebrations, but I never got the vibe that he was trying to be as good as or better than Durant or whatever. Always just thought he seemed like a guy who liked to get pumped up.

Agreed, we already know that Westbrook is good. He doesn't have to prove anything to himself/Durant. I guess he can do whatever it takes to get him motivated into winning a championship.

Ouch, Phil Jackson confirming what most of us know:

Phil Jackson says he wouldn't have wanted to coach the New York Knicks -- even if the team asked.

"I wasn't gonna take that job; that's for sure," he told HBO's "Real Sports" in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday night.

Jackson -- who won 11 championships as coach of the Bulls and Lakers -- said Knicks owner James Dolan never called him about the job.

Jackson, 66, was a member of two Knicks championship teams and said he has thought about coaching in New York, but wouldn't want to lead the current team because it's "clumsy."

"They don't fit together well. (Amare) Stoudemire doesn't fit well with Carmelo (Anthony)," said Jackson, when asked to expand on "clumsy." "Stoudemire's a really good player. But he's gotta play in a certain system and a way.

"Carmelo has to be a better passer. And the ball can't stop every time it hits his hands. They need to have someone come in that can kinda blend that group together."

Jackson, who retired after the 2010-11 season, was heavily rumored to be a candidate for the position before the Knicks eventually removed Mike Woodson's interim tag and give him a multiyear contract in late May.

Jackson said the Knicks and Orlando Magic openings this offseason were not the positions to bring him back to the bench.

He says he wasn't interested in Orlando because it's too far from his Montana home.


So what do the Knicks do if they (inevitably) fail again next year?

Who cares what Phil Jackson says? His reasons essentially express that he has no interest in coaching a team unless the situation is pristine. Everything else he says is not negative or eye-opening at all about the Knicks. They need a point guard.
Never make a hydralisk.

Knicks are a frankenstein monster creation.

Amar'e needs a point gaurd to get him buckets, Carmelo needs the ball to iso the defender.

Doesn't work.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wonder what you guys think about the proposal to change goaltending rules to match international play. On the one hand it would eliminate a lot of hard calls and that awkward moment when the ball is bouncing on the rim and the players are trying to figure out when they can touch it. On the other hand, we would lose those moments where the ball bounces and finally trickles in.

I don't mean to be all "go 'murica" but holy shit that was a good rendition of our anthem. Girl's gonna be on American Idol or some other crappy singing show in the future.

Go KD!

Between not changing the starting lineup and turning down that 3-year deal, sure does seem like Scott Brooks is making it real easy for the Thunder to scapegoat him if they lose...

Time to see if OKC wants to show up for the first quarter or if they feel like throwing another game.
