Carmelo Anthony, perhaps somewhat upset over his team's beatdown against the Cavs, was in no mood Wednesday night to talk about Phil Jackson's comments from earlier in the week.
"Come on man," Anthony responded before walking away from the media. "I don't want to answer those questions."

In an interview with CBS Sports' "We Need To Talk" that aired Tuesday, Jackson was asked whether Anthony could run the triangle offense. His response raised some eyebrows.
"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 he's adjusted to [the triangle], he knows what he can do and he's willing to see its success."
Although Anthony made it clear he didn't want to talk about the issue Wednesday, someone else asked him about it after he decided to take a few more questions from the media. While he offered a few more thoughts, it was clear he didn't want to discuss the subject.

"I don't even know what was said, to be honest with you. I just don't even want to talk about that, what he's talking about exactly. I want to stay away from that at this point," Anthony said. "My focus is my teammates and winning. We've been playing great basketball, and that's the only thing I'm focused on. Whatever Phil said, he said it. I have nothing to say about that."
