Don't konw if this was posted:
Coby Karl telling all to Daddy KarlIf the Lakers discover the Denver coaching staff shouting out Laker sets before they run them tonight, they can blame an otherwise innocuous roster move made the morning of their season opener.
That was the day the Lakers trimmed their roster to 14 by cutting guard Coby Karl. The son of Denver coach George Karl has since fed his father every bit of inside intelligence he garnered during his 15-month stint with the Lakers, in hopes of giving the Nuggets a leg-up in the Western Conference finals.
Among the highlights of the younger Karl's report: tips on containing Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom, a recap of how the Lakers coaches advised the team to defend Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, and an amusing look inside Phil Jackson's film room before last year's first-round series against Denver.
"He told me they had a tape of us that had cartoons spliced in when we would run and get a dunk," George Karl said. "They would have a cartoon Mickey Mouse going 'Ouch' or getting hit over the head with a hammer just to emphasize 'we can't let them do this.' "

there goes his chance with re-signing with one of the best teams in the league. With this info.. George could at least bring his son to play for his team.. oh wait.. even his dad doesn't want him.. lol.
Basically just poor judgement by going to the press about it. It's only going to fuel the intensity in the Lakers if it is true. But by now the teams should all know who they're going against.. .tips or no tips, it shouldn't matter.

If you were George Karl, would you do the same? If you were Cobe Karl, would you want to see daddy happy so much that you would tell daddy whatever daddy wanted to know?
The guy is a fcukin snitch but hey this is the NBA championship we're talking about here! You hire the best scouts, insiders, you read all the papers, you listen to all the inteligence that is available to you, you draw on the experience of your players, you make a plan and you go smash the opponent and do it for your city. This is fair game. I bet Fisher had some insights about how to beat Jerry Sloan... but yo! the fact is that these coaches know what each other likes to do anyway...
I dont like the sound of it, but then again i cant knock the kid or his daddy ...Bottomline is that LAKERS WILL WIN IT so it doesnt matter!

LOL, if Denver needs 'inside info' from Coby Carl to help beat the Lakers then they are in trouble.

On a serious note, I doubt that coach Karl would have gotten all that much out of his son. He hasn't played for the team in quite a while and he wasn't here long enough for it to really matter. We aren't going to play the Nuggets the same as we did last year, so hopefully Karl actually takes his advice.
Besides that, Karl has to know the triangle fairly well by know. Phil has abused him enough times in the playoffs/finals that I can't imagine he hasn't studied it extensively. This is a non-issue, IMO.

Funny thing is that there are no "sets" in the Triangle.......the offense is based on reading the defense anyway. Hell Denver can't defend anyway, I'm not buying all this crap about them emphasizing defense. But I knew Karl would do some b*tchassness stuff like that, that's why I never liked him.

But Deep, that's assuming we only run the triangle....

That must be why Houston gave us such a hard time. Cook and Wafer were spilling the beans.

You guys act like Coby signed a NDA or something. He has the right to spill the bean on his former team, and since it's been a full season from his departure the plans are probably much more different considering how different this Nugget team is.
