His act tonight was garbage. Saw Magic trying to spin it at halftime of the Spurs game with the "This kind of stuff happens"-argument. But that was pure garbage. Juwan Howard was escorting him away and DWade just kept at it. Anybody catch what he had to say about it after the game? I saw Spoelstra's comments. He was spinning, too. "This kind of thing happens when you are getting your butts kicked." I can't imagine Sloan, Jaskson, Riley, Pop, or even D'Antoni spinning it like that after the game.

I can.

I'm pretty sure that kind of stuff is routine in NBA locker rooms. Just so happened it spilled onto the court this time.

That's the new NBA. Players only have respect for coaching insofar as the team is doing well and the stars are getting theirs.

Phil Jackson is notorious for getting into shouting matches and calling out players in the locker room. Jerry Sloan the same.
