Phil Jackson takes responsibility for Knicks' woeful season

Phil Jackson delivered a message to New York Knicks fans on Saturday afternoon: Blame me for the team's disastrous season.

"This is a mea culpa. I take responsibility for it," Jackson said.

Jackson reiterated on Saturday that he thought the Knicks would be a playoff team this season. Instead, things have gone horribly wrong for Jackson and the Knicks.

New York is now 5-35, worst in the NBA after Saturday's 110-82 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The club is currently on a franchise-high 15-game losing streak, having lost 25 of 26.
