Phil Jackson on the Knicks: Gave Basketball Gods Heartburn

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is never afraid to take to social media with his opinion of what is happening around his team and the the NBA in general.

That didn’t change Sunday after New York fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers by 18 points at Madison Square Garden earlier in the day.

Not only did the Knicks lose their seventh straight game, they did so against a pair of players that the team traded to Cleveland earlier in the year. J.R. Smith put up 17 points on 7-of-11 from the field while adding three rebounds and four assists in the process.

He also connected with Iman Shumpert, another former member of the Knicks, on a beautiful alley-oop.

Now at 10-45 on the season, New York has become quite the embarrassment. And for Jackson’s part, he fully understands that his plan has been a downright failure thus far.

Sunday’s loss was a microcosm of this.
