Just 7 turnovers is very impressive vs. Miami...
NY shoots more and makes more than any other team in the league.

The thing is for the "these 3's aren't sustainable" crowd.... these aren't ASSHOLE 3's. They're a result of good passing and ball movement, and most of them are wide open. Who on the team is a guy that is bad shooting 3s that is shooting them? Brewer may be the only guy like that. JR is streaky as Hell, Knicks fans know this. Outside of one occasional team shooting performance, I think it can be sustainable.

They also defend pretty well.
And also turn the ball over very little.
But yeah, threes.

i think his percentages would jump right up in LA, because he would be third option kind of guy that he's always been and hed be getting a ton of open looks. sort of like how kevin Martin is thriving in OKC, hes not asked to be much more than what he is, a catch a shoot guy whose the third option on a great team.
The thing is also that miami pretty much won the finals because of their three point shooting and the current miami team is set up for three point shooting kick outs. So for people to say it's not sustainable just because it's the knicks are insane tbh.

high fives all around knicks-age. i still found it hilarious how loud some of the "lets go knicks" chants were during the game. best away support? best away support.
But they're open looks secondary to the ball movement and are higher percentage shots than a contested off balance layup or random fall-away ten footer.
It was a great win.
How many guys are shooting above their career averages? I know this was the case early in the season, and that's where this "not sustainable" argument came from. I'm not sure if that's still the case. PEACE.

yea it's open looks. i still hope they go inside more but if it works then it's ok.

Yep. We shoot wide open 3's off of ball movement. Our 2 PG lineup is beautiful.

exactly. aside from sheed and sometimes JR, im comfortable with everyone else shooting up 3s. brewer also looks more comfortable shooting from beyond the arc than inside as well. we got a bunch of long distance shooters and combined with the ball movement and finding the open man, this gets deadly.
were a much different team than we were this past spring. improved on just about every front. as much as i like lin, im glad we got rid of him. having 3 solid PGs with 2 on the floor at any given time has worked wonders.

I think I'd ask for my money back if I went to this Suns game.

Holy shit the 3,000 fans in attendance are booing.
They don't defend that well - but they do protect the ball at an above average level (which is why its important that Kidd spells Ray before Ray loses his fucking mind from having too many free minutes) which has cascading effects.
Any three that doesn't come from Melo, Kidd, or Novak's hand is a suspect 3 on that team. A lot of those guys you don't want to be comfortable shooting the three for obvious reasons.

This Suns team is just depressing. They may not have a single long-term player on their roster. They're going to be lose 55 games while playing 8 veterans and Marcus Morris.
The Knicks defend very well. Don't let the Bobkittens game fool you.

you could try to logic with these guys who have obvious not watched all season or you can just tell these haters to EAD...
Me I'm gonna tell them EAD
Dy your cool... but ead
You are just hating on the trade pieces the front office has collected for the next big superstar trade!
If Gortat had a longer contract you could keep around him since he's a steal at $7million a year. Their cap management as a whole looks strange, paying nearly $15million to Dudley, Scola and Beasley. They're just lucky they were able to amnesty Childress, who would be getting $7million a year until 14/15.

That's true, but he's going to get big money in 2014 (a time which the Suns rebuilding probably will have just actually started) so I don't think he's going to stick around either.
I have to wonder how the fans get excited to go to the games with no winning and no good prospects that could make exciting plays to give hope about winning.
guaranteed tacos because no defense will be played
Perfect.

He should just start, period.
LMAO at Mr. Peace. Got quite a big mouth for an asterisk champion.
well morris does have 17 rebounds tonight so I don't know he has improved since he started and scola is always going to produce
