<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Warriors enter what has become an annoyingly traditional part of their season Thursday, when they try to make the 11th pick in the draft seem like the next brick on the road to glory. At least that's what we impressionable locals will be attending to; everywhere else, the topic is Phil Jackson's next job. And we'll ignore the under-publicized fact that Mike Montgomery's coaching staff for next year is still in flux, and Phil would be a dandy fit after more than a decade in the barrel trying to negotiate the landmines named Shaq and I'm Open Because I Say I Am. He could learn to break down tape, run drills, work on the side with Evan Eschmeyer and help Montgomery learn how to swear at Joey Crawford without getting ejected, a trick few NBA coaches have mastered. Indeed, the only thing preventing Jackson from being considered a viable candidate for the job is the fact that he had concluded that his life path does not include breaking down tape, watching drills, or being seen with Evan Eschmeyer, and whose fascination with Crawford is profoundly limited, especially these days. So let's get past that delicious drunkard's errand and get back to the mundane world that is Warriorville. More specifically, how Chris Mullin can dress up the 11th pick of the draft. After all, he won so many hearts and minds with the Montgomery hire. </div> http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...SPGDR78MH21.DTL
