Triangle Offense

If Derek Fisher could do it all over again, he wouldn’t accept the New York Knicks’ head coaching position—not unless he knew he wouldn’t have to run the triangle offense. Speaking on FS1, Fisher admitted that he didn’t ask enough questions before agreeing to coach the Knicks under team president Phil Jackson (via the New York [...]

No one on the New York Knicks is happier the triangle offense has met its doom than…Courtney Lee’s stat sheet. The 32-year-old swingman is having one helluva year, averaging 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals on 49.8 percent shooting, including a 46.5 percent three-point clip—all of which are career highs. In an [...]

The triangle offense is forever in New York. What, you didn’t think the Knicks would just stop running it because the system’s biggest advocate, Phil Jackson, is no longer in charge, did you? Because they haven’t. Kristaps Porzingis made that much clear after Tuesday’s practice, per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: [tweet https://twitter.com/Al_Iannazzone/status/912708704277028865] This obviously sounds bad, because [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is (finally) calling it like we’re seeing it: The New York Knicks are a bad basketball team. These weren’t his exact words following the Knicks’ despicable Sunday night loss to the Brooklyn Nets, but he was hinting at as much if you read between the lines, per ESPN.com’s Ian Begley: Porzingis, the No. [...]

Following the New York Knicks’ 118-99 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, Courtney Lee offered some thoughts about the way his team practices. Per Ian Begley of ESPN.com: Courtney Lee says the Knicks should “practice against more game-like situations” rather than practicing against the triangle offense. “We run the triangle, we practice against [...]

Phil Jackson has not yet given up on the New York Knicks eventually mastering the triangle offense. Yes, the team’s attack looks vastly different this season. It’s faster. The Knicks are shooting more threes. There has even been some more pick-and-pop action with Kristaps Porzingis. Don’t take this to mean New York has abandoned the [...]

When Isaiah Thomas reaches free agency in 2018, the New York Knicks better not come calling. Unless, of course, they’ve ditched all remnants of Phil Jackson’s beloved triangle offense. As Isaiah Thomas made clear to the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy while discussing Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek, for whom he played while with [...]

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 [...]

With each coach that Phil Jackson interviews, the topic of the Triangle Offense surely comes up. Derek Fisher implemented it and we’ll surely see Jeff Hornacek do the same. Phil is determined to never let it go, no matter how long it’s been since it has been successful for him. Derrick Rose is now at [...]

There is no rest for the New York Knicks, even though their season over. According to the New York Daily News‘ Frank Isola, team president Phil Jackson is set to get his hands dirty teaching the triangle to some of the Knicks’ current players: Phil Jackson has decided to coach the Knicks … at least [...]
