As is common with Phil Jackson news conferences, what he said Friday left more questions than it gave answers. Here are the takeaways:
1. Are The Knicks Still Forming A Triangle?
Yes? Both Jackson and Jeff Hornacek downplayed the importance of the triangle. What they said, in abstract, was factually accurate. The triangle is a set that you can run a bunch of different plays out of. A bunch of teams use a lot of triangle sets in their offenses, such as the Warriors, Spurs and even the Bulls under Tom Thibodeau.
