NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony was visibly annoyed when asked about Phil Jacksons assertion that he tends to hold on to the ball too long.I dont want to answer those questions, Anthony said after the?Knicks 126-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.Anthony, who is normally affable with the media, maintained a smile but began to walk away from reporters when asked about Jacksons comments before stopping and continuing with questions. He then responded to a query about the timing of the Knicks presidents remarks and whether they were productive.I dont even know what was said, to be honest with you. I just dont even want to talk about that, what hes talking about exactly. I want to stay away from that at this point, Anthony said. My focus is my teammates and winning. Weve been playing great basketball, and thats the only thing Im focused on. Whatever Phil said, he said it. I have nothing to say about that.In an interview with CBS Sports Network that aired Tuesday, Jackson said Anthony can play the role that Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant played in their teams triangle offenses, but he believes Anthony sometimes breaks a team rule by holding on to the ball too long.Carmelo a lot of times wants to hold the ball longer than -- we have a rule: If you hold a pass two seconds, you benefit the defense. So he has a little bit of a tendency to hold it for three, four, five seconds, and then everybody comes to a stop, Jackson said. That is one of the things we work with. But hes adjusted to [the triangle], he knows what he can do, and hes willing to see its success.Jacksons comments were prompted by a question about whether Anthony can fit in the triangle offense. Jackson made it clear he believes that Anthony can.He can play that role that Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant played, Jackson said. Its a perfect spot for him to be in that isolated position on the weak side, because its an overload offense and theres a weakside man that always has an advantage if the ball is swung.Jacksons comments about Anthonys tendency to hold on to the ball too long at times have been echoed by others around the NBA. But the presidents assessment came as the Knicks had won three straight games and were hours away from winning a fourth straight against the Miami Heat.Anthony had 35 points to lead the Knicks in the win at Miami on Tuesday.Coach Jeff Hornacek, stuck in the awkward position between disagreeing with his boss or critiquing his star forward, chose a middle ground when asked about Jacksons comments.Yeah, I think theres probably times that happens. But then theres other times when he does what he did last night and just carries us, Hornacek said Wednesday. Its a fine balance. Hes a star player who can really create his own shot from that midrange area. Sometimes we talk about maybe moving the ball and holding it, maybe its a second or two too long for a normal guy, but for Carmelo, its fine, because he can make that play.We just have to make sure the other guys understand they still should cut, and Carmelo, when we keep going to him at those spots, hell make passes out of there. Thats when well become really good. He did it last night. They tried to double him once, and he just threw it right, I think, to?Courtney [Lee]?for a wide-open 3. Hes willing to pass that ball if they come double him. Teams force 4-on-3 opportunities with pick-and-rolls. We just do it with Carmelo. Chandler Hutchison Jersey .ca!

Cheap Chicago Bulls Jerseys . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste.Southampton manager Ronald Koeman was upset with midfielder Victor Wanyama for his tackle that led to his red card in the 1-0 win against West Ham. Maya Yoshida gave Koemans men a ninth minute lead and they held on for all three points despite playing for most of the second half following Wanyamas straight red for a reckless lunge on Dimitri Payet.Wanyama has now been sent off three times this season, including for a similar incident during Southamptons 1-0 defeat at Norwich last month. Jamie Redknapp described Wanyama’s challenge on Payet as reckless and felt that the red card was justified Thats too much, Koeman told Sky Sports. We already mentioned after the Norwich game, you cant make that tackle on that place of the pitch.Its the same for this situation. Its a hard tackle and you give the referee the possibility to give you a red card.Despite the sending off, Koeman was satisfied with his sides performance, particularly praising his defence. Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster was pleased to earn his fifth consecutive clean sheet Im very pleased with the final result, the Dutchman said.dddddddddddd. It was a difficult game from the start but more difficult after the red card of Wanyama.But I think we defended fantastic and even with one less on the pitch we had the best chances to score the second goal.Koeman also took the time to single out the recent performances of Fraser Forster and said it was no coincidence the England goalkeepers return has coincided with an upturn in Southamptons fortunes. Fraser Forster produced a sterling performance for the Saints We had that also last season. Hes a fantastic goalkeeper, Koeman added.Hes so quiet but gives a lot of confidence to the defenders. Its not a coincidence that when he is back weve started keeping clean sheets.Its not a criticism to Maarten Stekelenburg or to the rest of the goalkeepers but sometimes you have one behind who has a little bit more luck in his life.He came after a big injury but hes demonstrating how good he is as a goalkeeper.Southampton are now up to seventh just two points behind West Ham following victory over Slaven Bilics side and Koeman is confident his side can enjoy a good end to the season. Southampton celebrate the only goal of the game Our ambition is always to try to do it better than last season, he said. Thats very difficult because to end last season in seventh position was fantastic.But we have good players, we have a good team we have a really good belief at the moment and a lot of confidence. Were looking forward to the rest of the season and if Leicester can be the first, maybe Southampton can be the sixth.
