Jeff Hornacek

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?

If you’re looking for a silver lining amid the New York Knicks’ crummy season, head coach Jeff Hornacek kind of has one. You know, maybe.

Freshly instated New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek won’t mince words, or sugarcoated pleasantries, when it comes to the triangle offense. From the New York Daily News‘ Frank Isola: Jeff Hornacek is intent on updating Phil Jackson’s antiquated triangle offense and even admitted on Sunday what has been painfully obvious for the past two [...]

As the New York Knicks inevitably struggle to meet the unreasonably high expectations that have been set before them, both internally and externally, remember this: They still have Kristaps Porzingis. Even if he suffers a sophomore slump or sees his role in the offense marginalized by the ball-dominant Derrick Rose, Porzingis, still just 21, is [...]

Add Kristaps Porzingis to the list of New York Knicks who are excited to play for new head coach Jeff Hornacek. From ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: “There were a lot of names, coming up — David Blatt, [Frank] Vogel. Hornacek just came out of the nowhere,” Porzingis said in an interview with ESPN this week from [...]
