Jeff Hornacek’s job with the New York Knicks is safe. So be sure to send condolences his way. Though the Knicks rank as one of this season’s biggest disappointments, team president Phil Jackson has no plans to get rid of his fourth head coach (remember, he inherited, then canned, Mike Woodson), according to the New York [...]

On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers, while the Detroit Pistons lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Naturally, the ‘Bockers are back to talking about their playoff push, right? Actually, no. Head coach Jeff Hornacek conceded afterward that making the postseason is, at this stage, an unrealistic goal, per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: Hornacek [...]
