Phil Jackson and Steve Mills with Scott Cacciola of The New York Timesearlier this week and chatted on a variety of subjects, including Melo, the Triangle and his infamous "goink" Tweet. Did he clear everything up? Eh...not really.
Let's delve into this, shall we? Here are my takeaways from the interview. Be warned: these answers get a little weird.
1. Phil is still hella triangular.
We saw head coach Derek Fisher slowly but surely moving away from the pure Triangle offense over the second half of the season, and many of Phil's own statements during the spring seemed to indicate that the Knicks were more far concerned with concerned with building a good defense than in perfecting the Triangle.
