FAN REACTION: THANK GOD!

“This is Melo’s championship” @netw3rk

“I can finally support my Knicks again. Phil Jackson was driving me away from being a fan.” @TheNYR247

“Have Phil Jackson fix the trains. I mean, he’s got nothing to do now.” @wesdog984

“One of the worst sports experiments of all time. The Phil Jackson Era - while short and not AS detrimental - will go right next to Isiah” @KFCBarstool

“Every year June 28th should be commemorated as the day NY Knicks fans were liberated from Phil Jackson. It will now be known as ‘PhilOutDay’” @AdmajuniorD

“Breaking News: Phil Jackson, upon parting from the Knicks, announces he is taking his triangle to Bermuda” @larshurst

“I’m really glad they got rid of him. I mean he was screwing everything up.” Ken, age 37, from Manhattan

“Didn’t even know about [the firing]. Well, I’ll tell you the truth, I’m a patient man — my mother always said patience is a virtue —but things weren’t rolling too well. I don’t know, maybe this triangle is a dying art. So maybe it’s a good thing.” John, age 62, from Rockland County

“Truthfully, I saw it coming. I don’t know if Phil was here or was he in L.A. as far as his mindset. It’s like he didn’t really give two s----, excuse me. I think [he’ll go to L.A.]. He wasn’t doing anything. I think [Carmelo’s going to stay], because he never wanted to leave. It was Phil talking about ‘it’s time for you to go.’ ” Damien, age 39, from Brooklyn

“I think it’s the right move. I wasn’t surprised at the timing of it, I didn’t

think [hiring him] was the right move to begin with. The Knicks have a long history of making terrible mistakes. So, quite frankly, as long as James Dolan’s in charge, I don’t have a whole lot of faith. I was a lifelong Knicks fan until about two years ago, and I just could not take the embarrassment. I don’t mind losing, but I just can’t take the embarrassment. Quite honestly, the Knicks have just gone so far in the hole, making horrendous decisions for 20 years, and I don’t think anything will change until James Dolan is gone.” Warren, age 49, from Long Island

“Why should Phil be mad? He stole 48 million from us.” Don, 46, from Manhattan
