The Lakers' coach wasn't happy to hear that the Trail Blazers showed video of Trevor Ariza's infamous flagrant foul on the scoreboard screen a few minutes before the teams tipped off at the Rose Garden.

"That's something that NBA clubs are not supposed to do, show video before a game that incites crowds," Jackson said Saturday. "Portland took a big risk doing that and that's a fineable thing from the league. That's something that they try to prevent in the spirit of good sportsmanship, but Portland has been like that. They've created that situation, and I think Trevor was affected by it, unfortunately. I don't think he had the kind of game I like to see him have."

I understand he missed the game with severe hemroid inflammation, but these excuses are so lame.

PJ is the biggest crybaby in the history of the game.

All whine and no spine.
 
Does this rule exist? I have never heard of it, but of course that doesn't mean that it does not exist.

Assuming it does, I wonder what kind of video it was intended to cover if not this kind of video, and if the team is fined I wonder how much it will be.

Phil Jackson has spent his whole career as a coach trying to get a psychological edge. Now he bitches when it happens to his team?
 
Who can't make a 2 hour flight because of a bad foot to coach in a game his team really needed?

Even though I hate Phil Jackson as much as you guys, I have to agree that a video of such a play shouldn't be showed right before the game. What happened, happened, no reason to keep bringing it up when there is obviously already a heated rivalry going on.
 
For those who were at the game, was the video shown only the Ariza foul, or was it a highlight reel of past meetings that happened to include the foul?
 
They were doing their standard high-lights to get the crowd pumped up and then added the foul at the very end.

I hate the Lakers, but I think Phil is right and have to agree with him. This rule is common among all sports. That's why they only show 1 replay at college football games because showing a bad call over and over caused the drunk fans to get out of control.
 
So lame...that would be like the Lakers showing this video before LAL/POR games in LA. :devilwink:

Actually, they have been showing that ariza foul since the game after it happened. I personally don't like it, because it doesnt get me pumped up. It was a dirty play and I just want to see highlights, not hard fouls.

No, actually, your boy Ariza created the situation by committing a deliberate, flagrant foul that injured another player. Just because the league let him off with a slap on the wrist, doesn't mean the Blazers, or their fans should.

Not nearly as much as Rudy was. How many games did Rudy miss as a result of Ariza's classless, dirty play?

Boo freaking hoo. Trev got rattled by the Rose Garden crowd. Tough shit. He better get used to it if Phil wants to depend on him in the playoffs. If poor Trev doesn't want to get booed, he shouldn't tackle players from behind in mid air when his team is getting blown out. He's the one that started this, not the Blazers. Deal with it. The Lakers may be dirty, but they're still soft - both physically and mentally.

Just another lame excuse for yet another Laker loss in Portland. That's the nice thing about winning, you don't have to start fishing for excuses. If it's not the refs, it's the pregame video. Phil's just trying to cover up the fact that his team was once again outplayed in Portland. Yeah, that pregame video forced Kobe to cough up an air ball wit the game on the line.

6 minute mark :biglaugh:
 
I'm not sure why the production team deemed it necessary to include that clip. The fans will remember what Ariza did for a long time. I remember going to a game against Philly when Vernon Maxwell was playing for them. He was still booed like mad even years later for his adventure into the stands.
 
Nope, just keepin it real

If you are lucky enough to face the Lakers this year you will see what happens when it truly counts

Looks like you'll be fine either way because you already said the Blazers are your second favorite team :ghoti:

Oh wait, that was probably before the Blazers beat the Lakers down for a second straight time :biglaugh:

You bring me to a point I was going to make. Congrats, the Blazers matter...therefore, fuck the Blazers. Yes...Fuck the Blazers. Playoff time is coming and no time to be cute and jovial anymore. Take a team to a game 7 in the first round to get them tired and then lose. Thats what I want....that or get swept.

I have a feeling people wont like what Im saying during these playoff months. Try not to take it personal that I want the worst for your team...not you, except for a few of you :devilwink:

Fuck the Blazers
Lakers forever!

It's funny to see you spiral down and down after each loss, and now you really are nothing but a common troll and a classic example of why Laker fans are viewed the way they are.

This is what I like to hear. I find being "nice" to another team, especially during this time of the year, to be overrated. Shit talking is the way to go.
 
Such a bullshit comment. There is no such rule.

Plenty of arenas do this. Hell, the Cavs put up U Mich logos after every questionable whistle that goes against the home team to incite boos toward the refs.
 
best post in here is, lakers are weak physically and mentally.
 
I'm pretty sure that I've heard of this rule before. i feel like in hte last few years there was an incident similar to this, but then again my brain may be making it up.

why does the foul even matter? it was not a dirty foul and ariza is not a dirty player.
