Jeff Hornacek's Reaction To Melo Calling His Own Number And Going Iso Is The Way Every Knicks Fan Feels Today

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Jeff Hornacek after the Knicks hired him, but I have to say I fucking love him. I thought we were getting the quiet, kinda weird dude that rubbed his face before every free throw. Instead we got a coach that seems to know what he’s doing (at least on offense), has a smokeshow daughter and is already sick of Melo’s shit. I imagine Hornacek spending hours and hours on going over offensive plays and schemes. Crumpled up paper and old whiteboard erasers worn to the nub, only to see Melo wave it all off and go iso yet again. And he finally had enough of the bullshit and wasn’t afraid to show it. Which I love. The entire franchise is handcuffed by Melo until he waives his no-trade clause. Most teams would have blown things up after last season and built around the 7’3″ glitch that fell out of the sky and into their laps. But the Knicks can’t because they are stuck with Melo and his contract until he no longer wants to play here anymore. And there is nothing Jeff Hornacek or Knicks fans can do about it. 5 losses in a fucking row since Christmas. And Olympic Melo is not walking through that door.

As for the defensive atrocities that have plagued the Knicks this season, I am giving Hornacek a pass on them. You know why? Because this is the guy that was put in charge of the defense.

*Let the record show that if the Knicks go on a decent winning streak after snapping this losing streak, they are officially a super team again.

Fuck rooting for this team is exhausting.
