Karl upset with Stu Jackson (yes!)....

Dsc00033_tiny by Andrew Feinstein on

The Rocky Mountain News' Chris Tomasson has just reported that George Karl is pissed off at the NBA (and VP of Operations Stu Jackson in particular) over the Kenyon Martin suspension. I have Karl's back 100% on this for sticking up for one of his players. If only he did this more often during actual games. Come to think of it, does anyone know the last time Karl got a technical during a game?

Anyway, whenever someone takes a shot Stu Jackson this is a good thing. I still blame Jackson for the demise of USA Basketball (see 2002 and 2004) by falling prey to his East Coast bias (see Marbury, Stephon and Jefferson, Richard) and allowing himself to be lobbied by agents (see Anthony, Carmelo).

Yes, much like you I felt happy when Karl did this. Although I feel like he did this not out of defending Kenyon but out of fear of losing the game because of being shorthanded... and missing the playoffs and losing his job.

But Karl fearing losing his job is better than Karl who doesn't care about anything and the FO still keeping him.

Let's hope this doesn't cost them the game.

One good thing that may come out of this is more playing time for Nene. Let's hope he can handle it.

We need this win!

Damn you Stu! You just cost us the game against the Kings! Without KMart we hadn't a chance, not a chance! The absence of Brad Miller and Ron Artest only made them stronger, a move they made upon hearing the news of KMart's suspension!

I can't keep writing this pretending to be Georgie.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
