The Warriors trail the Memphis Grizzlies 1-2 in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Golden State lost in Memphis Saturday night by ten points, 99-89.
The series has been a surprise thus far with Mike Conley playing well despite his lingering injuries. Stephen Curry hasn’t shot the ball well, resulting in consecutive losses for the Warriors.
Phil Jackson had some fun trolling on Twitter Sunday morning. The New York Knicks President took a shot at the Golden State Warriors with this Tweet:
NBA analysts give me some diagnostics on how 3pt oriented teams are faring this playoffs…seriously, how’s it goink?

Golden State has shot 12-52 from beyond the arc combined in Games 2 and 3. Many analysts have been outspoken about the Warriors not being a threat to win it all due to their jump-shooting offensive style.
Jackson used the Warriors being down in the series to his advantage when he posted the Tweet.
The former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers coach had an awful season with the Knicks in his first year. They finished with a franchise low 17 wins to go along with 65 losses.
He might still be bitter about losing Steve Kerr last summer. Cheer up Phil, at least you have a shot (pun intended) at the number one pick this year.
Instead of insulting the current playoff teams, Jackson should focus more on how to improve his lousy Knick team. Find some players to put around your hired gunner, Carmelo Anthony, Phil, and then he might stick around and play the second half of the season.
NBA analysts give me some diagnostics on how horribly constructed and run teams are faring this playoffs…oh, that’s right, they didn’t make it and are in the lottery. Stick to golfing Phil.
