LeBron James enjoyed his visit to New York this week. He rode the subway, carried the Cavs to victory over the Knicks and took a couple of shots at Phil Jackson. One came while he was giving Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek credit.
“They’re playing some good basketball,” James said. “I think the coach, Jeff Hornacek, is finally . . . with the release of the old fella, he’s finally allowed to implement what he wants to do on the team and it’s showing it’s very effective.”
Translation: when the old fella left, the triangle offense went with him.
