New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson has revealed that he was left unimpressed with comments from NBA commissioner Adam Silver on the team's triangle offense.

Silver jokingly said that it "clearly" looked as though the Knicks were "still learning" the new system during their loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

However, Jackson has grown tired of the focus on the system and he believes that the players are gradually improving within it.

"I wasn't so humoured by the commissioner actually jumping in on top of that, too," Jackson told reporters.

"He doesn't need to get in on that. There's enough focus on [the] triangle. It's not anything. It's a system. It's simple basketball. Just play the game. We're over the triangle; let's get to business and play the right way."

The Knicks have struggled so far this season with the triangle offense and they have slipped to 2-6 through the first eight games of the campaign.
