Someone Please Take Twitter Away from Phil Jackson
By Rob Perez
If you remember, Phil Jackson got cranky and did some trolling on Twitter two weeks ago.
NBA analysts give me some diagnostics on how 3pt oriented teams are faring this playoffs...seriously, how's it goink?

Why am getting cranky stuff? Seriously, bball, it's about penetration.

Those cranky the Heat/Spurs got it..Heat via s/roll, Spurs all ways.
Well, someone must have told Phil that the four teams remaining in the 2015 NBA Playoffs are built around a “three-point shooting philosophy” and/or are rely on shooting them.
Because today: Phil continued to throw rocks at the wasp nest commonly known as “Twitter”.
Some corrected thoughts:1)like 3pt shooters, check it out, but to play for 3pt shot is an error. Penetration, first principal of offense.

2)we are glad for JR,Shump,Pablo,etc...players have comfort zones that they need to play their best...we want them to find that in NBA

3)the 3pt shot is not the be all end all of basketball. WNBA is taking their exhibition game to extremes-do not disvalue the 2pt shot.

Whether Phil is right or wrong … what are you doing, dude? You are an eleven-time NBA Champion (as a coach), who is one of the most-respected figures in basketball EVER — and you feel like you have to stand up to a bunch of people on the internet who most-likely haven’t coached and/or overseen the operations of a professional basketball team once in their lives? You may be out-of-touch with the way the NBA game has evolved over the past couple of years, but, you don’t need to prove to us that you know basketball…
With that said, I change my mind … I hope Phil doesn’t stop. The absurdity of this is so damn entertaining, and just encompasses everything that is #KnicksTape. Whether it’s him trolling the internet, or, the franchise tanking an entire season — only to be compensated with the fourth overall pick in the upcoming draft … needles to say: things have not been #goink well in ‘The Mecca of Basketball’, since the signing of Phil Jackson.
@PhilJackson11 Penetration, first principal of offense and reproduction.
