Can the Knicks' 2014-15 season possibly get any worse? Why, yes it can!

Last night, the Knicks actually won a game when they knocked off the Lakers 101-94. But Phil Jackson said something before the game that's not going to sit well with a lot of New York fans. While talking with a group of reporters, he was asked why he wanted to come out of retirement to try and rebuild the Knicks organization. And he made a joke that, in light of what the Knicks have been through in recent years, wasn't all that funny.

"[Taking over the Knicks] is not something I really wanted to do," he said, "it's something that my partner [Jeanie Buss] said, 'You're sitting on all this information. Come on out and destroy a basketball team that you love.' So that's what I've done."

Sigh. That's just...sigh.
