Phil Jackson defends his stance on 3 pointers, claims "goink" was not a typo

[Heavincent]

Q. In the middle of the playoffs, you took to Twitter to ask N.B.A. analysts to give you “some diagnostics” on how 3-point-oriented teams were faring. It struck most as a criticism of teams like the Warriors who take a lot of 3-point shots. You asked, “How’s it goink?” What was that about?

JACKSON: They have all these analysts. I just wanted to see someone come back to me with statistics: Is 3-point shooting in the playoffs as consistent as it is in the regular season? Does your 3-point-shooting percentage change because you’re in the playoffs? No one figured that one out. And that’s probably me being obtuse to leave it open at the end. But “goink” is one of those New York expressions that we use, and I will tell you this: I learned something. Someone sent me the fact that if you look it up on Urban Dictionary, you’ll find out what it means in today’s society.

Q. Should I look?

JACKSON: Well, it’s rather bizarre to say the least.

Q. So it wasn’t just a typo?

JACKSON: “Goink” is a castoff expression, right? Instead of, “How’s it going?,” it’s, “How’s it goink?” It turned out to be either a combination of a mixed ethnic group: part Korean, part Chinese. Or it’s a vernacular term for how do you deal with a sexual partner.

Q. That was not your intention though?

JACKSON: No, I had no idea.

Here's the urban dictionary definition:
“To place both your balls in a partners mouth, then repeatedly slap their nose with your tumescent ***** in a vigorous manner, preferably whilst waving your other arm in the air.”

That's hilarious. I thought Daryl Morey was bad, but Jackson tweets like a bleacherreport poster.

Knicks still running the triangle.



The triangle is one of the main reasons the Bulls won so much - it truly represented superior strategy to the rest of the league.. Weakside spacing didn't exist back then, and the triangle was the best method anyone had devised to beat a defense without spacing the weakside of the floor (see GIF above)..

But it wasn't a conscious thought like "ok, how can we beat a defense without spacing the weakside?"... Back then teams simply weren't aware of weakside spacing at all - it's coincidence that out of the many offenses at that time that didn't space the weakside, the triangle was the most effective.

But now that the weakside is spaced on every single possession in today's game, I'm not sure if the triangle works as well comparatively - for example, is spacing the weakside a better tactic than NOT spacing the weakside and using the triangle instead?

Or maybe there are ways to space the floor on the weakside within the triangle that they've added to the offense since the 90's.. Either way, there's one thing that empirical evidence has taught us about the triangle: you need a GOAT-level post presence to win rings with it (i.e. MJ or Shaq).. The triangle offense is a triple-post offense - offense is run through the post, so you need a dominant big.
