Triangle proving tricky for Knicks

NBA

"The offense is really just a format for playing basketball together. Then we try and add some layers as we go."

That quote, about the triangle offense, might have been lifted from one of the numerous volumes penned by Knicks president Phil Jackson. But that was Derek Fisher speaking, after shootaround during a recent trip to Milwaukee. Thus is the struggle as Fisher, along with his team, tries to forge a new identity while working under the man with the NBA's most sparkling pedigree.

"It's different," Fisher said. "It's not the offense itself that is difficult. It asks guys to think about the game of basketball in a little bit different way, and that's why it takes some time."

So how's it going so far? Here's a look at what's working -- and largely what's not working -- in the Knicks' new offense, along with how they project moving forward.
