During tonight's Heat-Magic game, commenting on comments by Phil Jackson that Heat players don't respect Erik Spoelstra, JVG said Jackson's comments were inappropriate and completely out of character.
I love the Zen-Master, but playing mind games with competitive team's coaches is completely in character for Phil. It happened repeatedly in the 90's, and a few times the target was Van Gundy. I'm pretty sure JVG is trying to sort of defend Jackson in a "oh, he never normally does things like this" way, but I find it totally believeable that Phil would try to get the Heat's Big Two-and-a-Half thinking "maybe Spoelstra isn't the right coach for us."
God I hope the Bulls play the Heat in the playoffs this year.
