Ahh, the perils of live television! ESPN and ESPNEWS got burned Sunday when they chose to run Phil Jackson’s post game news conference live following Game 4 of the Lakers/Rockets series. Bothered by the notoriously fearless and often times disrespectful T.J. Simers who asked if the Lakers were embarrassed by their loss to the Yao Ming-less Rockets, Jackson offered up this:

Thanks to the nutter butters and harvey bars at Tirico Suave for the Phil Jackson cussing video. I agree with Phil here — sometimes a team losing isn’t because of what they did wrong but because of what the other team did right. That’s what happened with Houston. They were fired up, hot early in the game, and they held the lead. Aaron freakin Brooks had a career game with 34 points! Sometimes you can’t just criticize a team for losing but you need to credit the opposition for doing things well — that was the case on Sunday.
